Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the PMS3003 sensor?

The PMS3003 requires a DC supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V. It is designed for standard 5V logic systems commonly used with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. Exceeding this range may damage the sensor.

How do I communicate with the PMS3003 sensor?

Communication is via a 3.3V or 5V logic-level UART (serial) interface. You connect the sensor's TX and RX pins to your microcontroller's corresponding RX and TX pins. Data is output in a predefined packet structure containing PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 concentration values.

What Particle sizes can the PMS3003 detect?

The sensor can detect and count airborne particles with diameters ranging from 0.3 micrometers (µm) up to 10 µm. Its counting efficiency is 50% for particles at 0.3 µm and increases to 98% for particles at 0.5 µm and larger.

What is the difference between the 'Effective Range' and 'Maximum Range'?

The 'Effective Range' of 0-500 µg/m³ is the calibrated range where the sensor provides its specified accuracy for PM2.5 concentration. The 'Maximum Range' of ≥1000 µg/m³ indicates the sensor can still output data at higher concentrations, though potentially with reduced accuracy or saturation.

Is the PMS3003 suitable for outdoor use?

While it operates in temperatures from -10°C to +60°C and up to 99% humidity, the PMS3003 module itself is not waterproof (IP-rated). For outdoor deployment, it must be housed in a protective enclosure that shields it from direct rain and condensation while allowing air sampling.
