Description

The MH-Z14 CO2 sensor module utilizes a mature NDIR detection method, where an infrared source, optical path, and detector measure CO2-specific absorption. This technology provides excellent selectivity against other gases, is non-oxygen dependent, and offers a long operational lifespan free from sensor poisoning. An integrated thermistor provides real-time temperature data for compensation, ensuring stable readings.

The module features a robust circuit design with signal conditioning that outputs calibrated CO2 concentration data via a UART interface (TTL level 3.3V), a linear analog voltage proportional to the gas level, and a duty-cycle modulated PWM signal. Its compact, board-level package is engineered for reliable performance in HVAC systems, indoor air quality monitors, and industrial safety applications.

Key Features

  • High-sensitivity NDIR optical detection for precise CO2 measurement from 0 to 5000 ppm.
  • Triple-output flexibility: digital UART, analog voltage (0-3V), and PWM wave for compatibility with various microcontrollers and data acquisition systems.
  • Onboard temperature compensation ensures accuracy across an extended operating temperature range.
  • Low power consumption design with an average current under 85 mA, suitable for continuous monitoring applications.
  • Excellent long-term stability and resistance to interference from water vapor and other common atmospheric gases.
  • Compact and durable PCB-mounted module with standard 2.54mm pin headers for easy prototyping and integration.

Applications

  • HVAC and building automation systems for demand-controlled ventilation.
  • Indoor air quality (IAQ) monitors in offices, schools, and smart home environments.
  • Industrial safety and process monitoring in greenhouses, breweries, and agricultural storage.
  • Embedded environmental data logging for research and educational projects.
  • Portable air quality assessment devices and wearable environmental sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the output options of the MH-Z14 CO2 sensor module?

The module provides three distinct output modes: a UART serial interface (TTL level, 3.3V logic) for direct digital communication with microcontrollers, a linear analog voltage output (0-3V) corresponding to the CO2 concentration, and a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal where the duty cycle represents the measured value. This flexibility allows integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, PLCs, or simple analog-to-digital converters.

What is the operating voltage range and power consumption?

The MH-Z14 requires a DC supply voltage between 4.5V and 5.5V, with a typical operating point of 5V. Under normal conditions, its average current consumption is less than 85 mA. Ensure your power source can provide this current stably, especially during the sensor's warm-up and measurement cycles, for reliable operation.

How do I communicate with the sensor using the UART interface?

Connect the module's TX and RX pins to your microcontroller's UART RX and TX pins, respectively, ensuring a common ground. The interface operates at 3.3V TTL levels with a default baud rate of 9600 bps. Communication follows a specific command and response protocol detailed in the Winsen datasheet, allowing you to request measurements, initiate calibration, or set the measurement range.

Does the sensor require calibration?

The MH-Z14 is factory calibrated. However, for highest accuracy, especially in critical applications, periodic zero-point calibration in a fresh air environment (approximately 400 ppm CO2) is recommended. The module supports a manual calibration command via the UART interface. Avoid exposing the sensor to extreme concentrations before calibration, and never perform span calibration without proper reference gas equipment.
