Description
The MH-Z19C is a type of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) carbon dioxide (CO2) sensor. These sensors are designed to measure the concentration of CO2 in the air. The “MH” stands for “Winsen MH Series,” which is a product line of gas sensors manufactured by Winsen Electronics.
The MH-Z19C sensor, in particular, is commonly used in applications where monitoring and controlling CO2 levels are important, such as in indoor air quality monitoring systems, ventilation control, and other environmental monitoring applications.
Key features of the MH-Z19C sensor may include:
- NDIR Technology: Non-dispersive infrared technology is used to measure the concentration of CO2 in the air. This involves the absorption of infrared light by CO2 molecules, and the sensor detects the amount of absorbed light to determine the CO2 concentration.
- Calibration: MH-Z19C sensors are typically calibrated at the factory, but they may also support user calibration for more accurate readings.
- Analog and Digital Output: The sensor often provides both analog and digital (UART) output options, making it compatible with a variety of microcontrollers and data logging systems.
- Operating Range: MH-Z19C sensors usually have a specified operating range for accurate measurements. It’s important to operate the sensor within these specified conditions for reliable results.
- Response Time: The response time of the sensor refers to how quickly it can provide a reading after changes in CO2 concentration occur. This is an important factor in applications where real-time monitoring is crucial.
