Description

The ZE16B-CO module employs a mature electrochemical sensing principle for highly selective and stable detection of carbon monoxide (CO) gas. Its sophisticated onboard signal conditioning circuit provides a clean, linear output, minimizing the need for external amplification. The built-in temperature sensor actively compensates for environmental variations, ensuring measurement accuracy across its -10°C to 55°C operating range.

Designed for easy system integration, the module outputs data via a TTL-level UART interface for direct connection to microcontrollers or a PWM signal proportional to gas concentration. With a quick 30-second preheat time, it achieves operational readiness rapidly, making it suitable for responsive monitoring applications in both consumer and light industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output interface of the ZE16B-CO module?

The module provides two output options: a TTL-level UART serial interface for direct digital communication with microcontrollers (e.g., Arduino, ESP32) and a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal where the duty cycle is proportional to the measured CO concentration. You can select the desired output mode for your application.

What is the operating voltage and how do I power it?

The ZE16B-CO module requires a stable 5V DC power supply. Connect the VCC and GND pins to your system's 5V rail. Ensure your power source can provide sufficient current and is free from noise to maintain sensor stability and accuracy.

How long does the sensor take to start providing accurate readings?

The module requires a preheat time of approximately 30 seconds after power is applied before it can deliver stable and accurate measurements. The electrochemical sensor also has a response time of ≤30 seconds to reach 90% of the final reading when exposed to a target gas concentration.

Does the module require calibration?

The sensor is typically factory calibrated. However, for critical applications requiring high precision, periodic calibration using a known concentration of CO gas in a controlled environment is recommended to compensate for long-term drift inherent to electrochemical sensors.
