Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output protocol of the PMSA003-C sensor?

The sensor outputs data via a serial UART interface. It transmits structured data packets containing real-time Particle count and calculated mass concentration values for PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, which can be easily parsed by microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.

What is the operating voltage range and how do I power it?

The PMSA003-C operates from a 4.5V to 5.5V DC power supply. A stable 5V source is recommended. Ensure your power supply can provide sufficient current for the sensor and its integrated fan, typically drawing low current during operation.

What Particle sizes can this sensor detect?

This laser sensor detects and differentiates airborne particles with diameters ranging from 0.3 micrometers (µm) up to 10 µm. It is specifically calibrated to report the mass concentration of fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5 (particles ≤2.5 µm).

Does the sensor module include a cable for connection?

No, the sensor module is supplied without a cable. You will need to provide a suitable cable with a matching connector to interface with the sensor's UART pins (TX, RX) and power terminals for integration into your system.
