Description

The MH-410D utilizes a mature NDIR detection core, integrating an infrared source, optical path, bandpass filter, and detector to measure CO2 concentration based on specific infrared light absorption. This method provides excellent selectivity against other gases and ensures long-term stability and a multi-year operational lifespan. The module’s internal circuitry handles signal conditioning and includes a dedicated sensor for temperature compensation, which corrects for environmental thermal drift.

Designed for direct integration into digital and analog monitoring systems, the sensor outputs data via a configurable UART interface or a linear analog voltage signal proportional to the gas concentration. Its miniature form factor and 3.6-5V DC operating range make it suitable for embedded applications in air quality monitors, smart building controls, and portable safety devices.

Key Features

  • True NDIR sensing technology for reliable and specific CO2 detection.
  • Dual-interface flexibility with selectable UART (TTL) and 0-3V analog voltage outputs.
  • On-board temperature compensation circuit maintains accuracy across operating conditions.
  • Optimized for low power consumption, suitable for battery-powered or energy-conscious designs.
  • Fast response characteristic enables real-time air quality monitoring and control.
  • Robust construction provides resistance to poisoning and interference from common vapors.
  • Compact, surface-mount compatible package (20mm diameter) for space-constrained installations.
  • High-value build offering laboratory-grade NDIR performance in a cost-effective module format.

Applications

  • Demand-Controlled Ventilation (DCV) and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring in HVAC systems.
  • Industrial process control and safety monitoring in breweries, greenhouses, and manufacturing.
  • Integration into portable or wall-mounted CO2 monitors for schools, offices, and public spaces.
  • Embedded sensing for smart building automation and energy management systems.
  • Agricultural and livestock environmental monitoring to optimize growing conditions and animal welfare.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the output options of the MH-410D sensor and how do I select them?

The MH-410D provides two output modes: a digital UART (TTL serial) interface and an analog voltage output. The specific mode is typically selected via a configuration command sent over the UART interface or by a hardware pin setting, as detailed in the Winsen datasheet. The analog output provides a 0-3V DC signal linearly proportional to the CO2 concentration within the 0-1% range.

What is the power requirement and typical current draw for this sensor?

The sensor operates from a 3.6 to 5.0 V DC power supply. Under normal operating conditions, the average current consumption is less than 85 mA. It is important to ensure your power source, especially in battery-powered applications, can provide this current during the sensor's warm-up and active measurement phases.

Does this sensor require calibration, and how is temperature compensation handled?

The sensor is factory calibrated, but periodic calibration checks are recommended for critical applications to maintain long-term accuracy. It features an integrated temperature sensor that actively compensates for thermal effects on the NDIR measurement, ensuring stable readings across its specified operating temperature range without requiring external compensation circuits.

What is the physical size and mounting method for the MH-410D?

The module has a compact cylindrical form factor measuring 20 mm in diameter and 21.4 mm in height. It is designed for board mounting via its pin headers or can be panel-mounted using an appropriate holder or bracket. The sensing element is located on the top face of the cylinder, so it must be positioned with an unobstructed path to the ambient air being measured.
