Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output format of the PMS5003 sensor?

The PMS5003 outputs digital Particle concentration data via a UART serial interface at TTL logic levels (0V/5V). It transmits structured data packets containing PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 concentration values in µg/m³, which can be directly parsed by microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi without analog-to-digital conversion.

What is the required power supply for the PMS5003?

The sensor requires a DC power supply between 4.5V and 5.5V, with a typical operating current of less than 100mA. It is designed for standard 5V systems. Ensure a stable power source, as voltage fluctuations can affect the laser diode's performance and measurement accuracy.

How do I connect and communicate with the PMS5003 using an Arduino?

Connect the sensor's VCC to Arduino 5V, GND to GND, and the TX pin of the sensor to a software serial RX pin on the Arduino (e.g., pin 10). Use a serial library to read the incoming data packets. You will need to implement or use an existing library to correctly decode the 32-byte data frames to extract the PM concentration values.

What Particle sizes can the PMS5003 detect?

The sensor is capable of detecting and differentiating airborne particles with diameters ranging from 0.3 micrometers (µm) up to 10 micrometers (µm). It specifically reports the mass concentration of particles in the PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10 size categories, which are standard metrics for air quality assessment.

Does the sensor require any calibration or maintenance?

The PMS5003 is factory calibrated and does not require user calibration. For maintenance, ensure the laser window and air pathways remain unobstructed by dust or debris, which can degrade accuracy over time. The sensor has no user-serviceable parts and is designed as a sealed unit.
