Description

The ACEBOTT PM2.5 sensor employs an infrared optical scattering principle to detect and quantify airborne particulate matter. A built-in fan draws air through the sensing chamber, where a light source illuminates particles, and a photodetector measures the scattered light intensity, which is correlated to Particle concentration. This method provides real-time, reliable data on PM0.3, PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 levels.

The module outputs processed concentration data via a UART TTL serial interface, compatible with 5V logic levels common in development platforms like Arduino and ESP32. Its low current draw and compact design make it suitable for integration into portable, battery-powered, or fixed air quality monitoring stations, smart home systems, and air purification control units.

Key Features

  • High-Precision Optical Sensing: Utilizes infrared light scattering technology for accurate detection of fine particulate matter from PM0.3 to PM10.
  • Stable Serial Data Output: Provides calibrated PM concentration values via UART TTL interface for reliable microcontroller communication.
  • Optimized Power Profile: Engineered for low-power operation (≤15mA), enabling long-term use in energy-conscious applications.
  • Robust & Compact Construction: Features a durable housing with integrated fan and optical path, designed for consistent performance in indoor environments.
  • Fast Response & Long Lifespan: Achieves stable readings within 10 seconds of power-up and is rated for a service life exceeding 8 years under normal operating conditions.

Applications

  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitors and data loggers for homes, offices, and schools.
  • Feedback control sensor for smart air purifiers and HVAC filtration systems.
  • Portable environmental sensing devices built on Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi platforms.
  • Industrial workplace safety monitors for particulate exposure in workshops or laboratories.
  • Integration into IoT nodes for cloud-based air quality mapping and alert systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and current requirement for this PM2.5 sensor?

The sensor requires a stable DC 5V ±5% power supply and draws a maximum operating current of 15mA. It is crucial to provide clean, regulated 5V power to ensure accurate sensor readings and prevent damage to the internal optical components.

How do I interface this sensor with an Arduino or ESP32 microcontroller?

The module communicates via a UART TTL serial interface using 5V logic levels. Connect the sensor's TX pin to a serial RX pin on your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino's SoftwareSerial pin) and provide 5V and GND. You will need to write or use a library to parse the serial data packets containing PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 concentration values.

What Particle sizes does this sensor detect, and what is its accuracy?

This infrared sensor detects particulate matter in the sizes PM0.3, PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10. Its accuracy is specified as ±20 μg/m³ or ±20% of the reading, whichever is greater, under standard conditions of 25°C and 50% relative humidity. It covers a measurement range from 5 to 2500 μg/m³.

Does the sensor require any calibration or have a break-in period?

The sensor is pre-calibrated from the factory and does not require user calibration. However, it features a fast-response design that achieves stable readings within 10 seconds of power-on. For the most consistent long-term data, allowing a brief stabilization period after initial power-up is recommended.
