Description

The MH-Z19 module employs a mature NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) absorption detection method, providing selective measurement of carbon dioxide concentration with minimal cross-sensitivity to other gases. Its precision optical path and integrated signal conditioning circuit ensure stable, linearized output over the sensor’s operational lifespan.

Designed for reliable long-term monitoring, the module features automatic temperature compensation via an onboard sensor to maintain accuracy across environmental changes. The anti-interference design minimizes errors from water vapor, making it suitable for HVAC, building automation, and indoor air quality assessment systems.

Key Features

  • NDIR infrared technology ensures high selectivity and long-term stability.
  • Dual interface options: UART (TTL serial) and PWM output for flexible integration.
  • On-chip temperature compensation corrects for environmental thermal drift.
  • Low power consumption design, ideal for battery-powered or energy-conscious applications.
  • Robust construction with a durable housing for reliable operation in indoor environments.
  • Pre-calibrated for common CO2 measurement ranges (typically 0-5000 ppm).
  • Includes a connecting cable for immediate prototyping and system connection.

Applications

  • HVAC and building automation systems for demand-controlled ventilation.
  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors and smart home environmental sensors.
  • Classroom, office, and greenhouse CO2 concentration monitoring.
  • Integration into IoT sensor nodes for environmental data logging.
  • Portable air quality assessment devices and CO2 dataloggers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the MH-Z19 CO2 sensor module?

The MH-Z19 module operates from 3.6V to 5.5V DC, making it directly compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller logic levels such as Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi GPIO without requiring a logic level shifter.

How do I communicate with the MH-Z19 sensor? What are the output options?

The module provides two primary output modes. You can use the UART (TTL serial) interface for direct digital communication with a microcontroller's serial port. Alternatively, the PWM output provides a pulse width proportional to the CO2 concentration, which can be measured using a microcontroller's pulse-in function.

Does the MH-Z19 require calibration, and how is temperature compensation handled?

The module is pre-calibrated from the factory. It features a built-in temperature sensor that performs automatic temperature compensation to ensure measurement accuracy across its operating environment, reducing the need for frequent manual recalibration under normal indoor conditions.
