Description

The DFRobot Gravity NH3 Sensor employs an electrochemical sensing principle for precise ammonia gas measurement. Factory-calibrated for immediate use, it offers high sensitivity and stability with strong anti-interference characteristics, suitable for long-term monitoring applications.

Designed for easy system integration, the module includes an onboard temperature compensation algorithm to maintain accuracy across its operating range of -20°C to +50°C and 15-90% RH (non-condensing). Its compact form factor and standard Gravity interface allow for rapid prototyping and deployment in industrial and environmental monitoring systems.

Key Features

  • Electrochemical NH3 sensor with a two-year operational life in air.
  • Supports I2C, UART, and analog voltage outputs for maximum flexibility.
  • 32 configurable I2C addresses enable multi-sensor networks on a single bus.
  • Onboard temperature compensation ensures stable readings across environmental changes.
  • Low-power design ideal for portable or battery-powered monitoring stations.
  • Gravity interface and comprehensive sample code simplify development for Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
  • Robust construction suitable for industrial and environmental protection applications.

Applications

  • Industrial safety systems for ammonia leak detection in refrigeration and chemical processing.
  • Environmental monitoring stations for measuring ambient ammonia levels near agricultural sites.
  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring in laboratories, farms, or waste treatment facilities.
  • Portable gas detection equipment for occupational health and safety inspections.
  • Integration into smart agriculture systems for monitoring livestock enclosure air quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of this NH3 sensor?

The module provides three simultaneous output options: I2C digital communication, UART serial data, and a 0-3V analog voltage signal proportional to gas concentration. The I2C interface supports 32 configurable addresses for multi-sensor setups.

What microcontrollers is this sensor compatible with?

It is directly compatible with any 3.3V or 5V logic microcontroller, including Arduino boards, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi (using logic level conversion for 5V I2C), and STM32. DFRobot provides ready-to-use sample code and libraries for quick integration.

Is the sensor pre-calibrated, and what is its lifespan?

Yes, the electrochemical sensing element is factory-calibrated for ammonia and is ready for immediate use. The sensor has an operational lifespan of over two years when used in normal atmospheric conditions, after which the sensing element may require replacement.

What is the operating voltage and current consumption?

The module operates from a 3.3V to 5.5V DC power supply, with a very low working current of less than 5mA. This makes it suitable for battery-powered and portable monitoring applications.
