Description

This sensor employs an electrochemical sensing principle for precise and selective detection of carbon monoxide gas. The onboard signal conditioning circuit provides stable analog and digital outputs, while the integrated temperature compensation algorithm ensures measurement accuracy across its operating range of -20°C to 50°C.

Designed for long-term monitoring, the module features reverse connection protection and a typical service life of over two years in air. The Gravity interface standard simplifies wiring, allowing for rapid prototyping and deployment in environmental monitoring and safety systems.

Key Features

  • Electrochemical sensing cell for high selectivity and sensitivity to CO.
  • Factory calibrated for accurate out-of-the-box measurement.
  • Three output modes: I2C (configurable address), UART (TTL 0-3V), and analog voltage.
  • Integrated temperature compensation for stable performance across -20°C to 50°C.
  • Low power consumption (<5mA) compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
  • 32 software-configurable I2C addresses for multi-sensor networks.
  • Programmable threshold alarm function for safety monitoring.
  • Gravity connector interface for plug-and-play operation with DFRobot shields.

Applications

  • Portable indoor air quality monitors and safety detectors.
  • Industrial safety monitoring in petrochemical plants and refineries.
  • Environmental monitoring in warehouses, parking garages, and mines.
  • HVAC system integration for building air quality control.
  • Educational and research projects for gas sensing and IoT.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output voltage range for the analog and UART signals?

The analog output provides a voltage signal proportional to the CO concentration, typically scaling within the 0-3V range. The UART output is a TTL serial signal (0-3V logic levels) transmitting calibrated ppm data packets. Both outputs are compatible with 3.3V and 5V microcontroller ADCs and serial ports.

How do I change the I2C address on this sensor?

The sensor supports 32 configurable I2C addresses set via software commands sent over the I2C bus. Detailed instructions and example code are provided in the DFRobot library. This allows multiple sensors to operate on the same I2C bus without address conflicts.

Is this sensor suitable for battery-powered applications?

Yes, its low operating current of less than 5mA and wide voltage range of 3.3-5.5V make it suitable for battery-powered portable monitors. For long-term deployment, consider the sensor's typical lifespan of over two years in air and implement appropriate sleep/wake cycles in your microcontroller code.
