Profile

• This module integrates mature VOC detection technology and advanced PM2.5 detection technology to detect VOC and PM2.5 at the same time. The VOC sensor in this module has high sensitivity to formaldehyde, benzene, carbon monoxide, ammonia, hydrogen, alcohol, cigarette smoke, essence and other organic vapors.PM2.5 detection adopts particle counting principle to detect the particles (diameter ≥1μm).
• Before delivery, the sensor has been aged, debugged, calibrated and has good consistency and high sensitivity. It has the PWM signal output, and it can be configured to be UART digital serial interface and customized IIC interface.

Instructions

1. PIN1: it is control pin.
   • The sensor is in PWM mode if this pin is hanging in air
   • The sensor is in UART mode if this pin is connecting to GND.
2. PIN2: In UART mode, it is RDX; In PWM mode, it is PWM signal with 1Hz. The output is PM2.5 concentration.
3. PIN4: In UART mode, it is TDX; In PWM mode, it is PWM signal with 1Hz. The output is VOC level.
4. Heater: the heater is built-in and the heating makes air rise, causing the air outside flow into sensor inside.
5. What kind of particles can be detected: diamete ≥1μm, such as smoke, house dust, mold, pollen and spores.

PM2.5 output wave in PWM mode

NOTE

1. LT is the pulse width of low level in one period( 5 500Ms
2. UT is the pulse width of one period 1s )).
3. Low pulse rate RT: RT=LT/ UT x100% range 0.5%~50%

VOC output wave in PWM mode

NOTE

1. LT is the pulse width of low level in one period( n*1 00Ms
2. UT is the pulse width of one period 1s )).
3. Low pulse rate RT: RT=LT/ UT x100% , four grades, 10% progressive increase 10%~40% RT is higher, the pollution is more series.

The relationship between low pulse rate of output and particles

concentration

NOTE
People usually use different grades best, good, bad, worst to describe the air quality condition Recommend the standard as follow:

• Best 0.00% – 4.00%
• Good 4.00% – 8.00%
• bad 8.00% – 12.00%
• Worst 12.00%

Sensitivity curve of VOC sensor

NOTE:

• The air quality classified into 4 grades: best, good, bad, worst.
• The module is calibrated and the output of 0x00-0x03 means from best air-quality level to worst air-quality level. VOC includes a lot of gases and the grades is a reference for customer to judge the air quality.

Communication protocol

General Settings

Commnucation command
Module sends the concentration value every other one second.Only send,no receive.Command as follow: Table 4.

PM2.5 calculation:

• Byte3 0x12, byte4 0x13, so RT=18.19%
• The RT range in UART mode is 0.5%~50%.

VOC calculation:
Byte7 is VOC output. 0x01: best, …,0x04: worst. 0x00 means no sensor installed or malfunction.

Check and calculation

Cautions

1. Installation must be vertically.
2. Organic solvents(including sillica gel and other adhesive),paint,pharmaceutical,oil and high concentration of target gases should be avoided.
3. Artificial air steam such as fan should be farm away.For example,when it is used in air refresher,it can’t be installed in front or back of fan.Any side of fan shell can be installed on, but ventilation opening on the shell is necessary to guarantee gas from outside flow in.
4. Don’t use it the places where there is vapour such as bathroom,or near to air humidifier.
5. Dust sensor adopts optics working principle,so the light radiation will influence the sensor’s accuracy.We suggest users use sponge to cover the triangle hole in the middle of the sensor,avoiding light outside irradiate the sensor.Note that don’t cover the gas inlet and outlet.
6. Warmup time should lasts 5 min or longer for the first time usage and don’t apply it in the system involving people safety.
7. Moist will effect the normal functions of the module,so it should avoid.
8. Lens should be cleaned regularly according to the actual condition (about once per six months).Use one end of cotton swab with clean water to scrub the lens,and use the other end to wipe dry.Don’t use organic solvent such as alcohol as cleanser.
