The DFRobot ENS160 is an I2C digital air quality sensor module designed for indoor environmental monitoring, providing direct readings for TVOC, eCO2, and an Air Quality Index (AQI). It operates from a 3.3V to 5V supply, making it compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other 3.3V/5V logic microcontrollers.

Features

  • Multi-parameter IAQ sensing outputs TVOC, eCO2, and AQI values.
  • Fast warm-up time of less than 3 minutes for rapid data acquisition.
  • Integrated TrueVOCâ„¢ and MOX technology for superior accuracy and stability.
  • I2C digital interface with a fixed address of 0x53 for easy system integration.
  • Wide operating range of -10°C to 80°C and 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing).

Description

The DFRobot ENS160 module integrates the ScioSense ENS160 digital gas sensor chip, which utilizes advanced metal oxide (MOX) sensing technology combined with proprietary TrueVOCâ„¢ signal processing. This combination enables precise detection of a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and accurate calculation of equivalent CO2 (eCO2) levels and a comprehensive Air Quality Index (AQI).

The sensor features intelligent on-chip algorithms that process raw data into stable, easy-to-interpret environmental metrics. A built-in automatic baseline correction (ABC) algorithm ensures long-term measurement stability by adapting to changing environmental conditions, making it ideal for continuous monitoring applications. The module includes a 1-meter cable for flexible installation and is housed in a probe-style form factor.

Key Features

  • High-precision IAQ monitoring with TVOC, eCO2, and AQI outputs.
  • Fast response and recovery times enabled by advanced MOX sensor technology.
  • Onboard digital processing eliminates the need for complex analog signal conditioning.
  • Robust construction suitable for long-term deployment in indoor environments.
  • Low-power operation with a typical current draw of 29mA.
  • Probe-style housing design simplifies mounting and integration into enclosures or ducts.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for professional and DIY air quality projects.

Applications

  • Indoor air quality monitoring and control systems for smart homes and offices.
  • Integration into HVAC systems for demand-controlled ventilation.
  • Environmental data logging for health, safety, and wellness studies.
  • Portable air quality detectors and wearable environmental monitors.
  • Air purifier and ventilator automatic control and feedback systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the default I2C address of the DFRobot ENS160 module?

The DFRobot ENS160 module has a fixed I2C address of 0x53. This address is hardcoded and cannot be changed, so only one ENS160 sensor can be used on a single I2C bus without an I2C multiplexer. Ensure your microcontroller code references this correct hexadecimal address for communication.

What is the required warm-up time for accurate readings?

The sensor requires a preheat time of less than 3 minutes after power-on to deliver stable and accurate data. During this initial period, readings may fluctuate. For best results, allow the sensor to complete its warm-up cycle before taking measurements, especially after a prolonged power-off period.

Can this sensor be powered directly from a 5V Arduino pin?

Yes, the ENS160 module is designed to operate from a 3.3V to 5V DC supply. You can power it directly from the 5V output pin of an Arduino Uno or similar board. The I2C logic levels are also compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers, but ensure your I2C pull-up resistors are set to the appropriate voltage level for your main logic.
