Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of the Winsen ZC05 module?

The Winsen ZC05 provides a digital UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter) serial output. This allows direct communication with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi for reading gas concentration data and module status without requiring analog-to-digital conversion.

What external components does the ZC05 module control?

The module includes integrated control outputs: a relay for switching external devices like solenoid valves to shut off gas supply, and a buzzer for audible alarms. These are activated when the detected gas concentration exceeds the preset threshold, enabling a complete safety response system.

What is the power requirement for this sensor?

The module requires a stable 5V DC power supply with a tolerance of ±0.1V and draws approximately 150mA during operation. It is crucial to use a regulated 5V source to ensure accurate sensor performance and stable digital communication.
