Product information "seeed Grove - Air Quality Sensor (MP503) v1.3"

Seeed Grove - Air Quality Sensor v1.3 - Arduino Compatible
The Grove - Air Quality Sensor v1.3 was developed for monitoring indoor air quality. It reacts to various slightly toxic gases such as carbon monoxide, alcohol, acetone, thinner, formaldehyde and other substances. The sensor is compatible with 5 V and 3.3 V power supplies and can be used with microcontroller platforms such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Due to its low power consumption and stable long-term use, the module is suitable for continuous air quality measurement. The sensitivity is based on the change in the electrical conductivity of the sensor element as a function of the gas concentration.

The sensor provides qualitative measurement results for various target gases and is designed for use in households and offices, for example for air quality measuring devices, automatic air exchangers or air purifiers.

The main function is the detection of slightly toxic gases in closed rooms. The module provides qualitatively usable values that can be used to control ventilation systems, for example. The MP503 sensor used works with a variable resistor whose conductivity changes depending on the concentration of the detected gases. This allows changes in the room air to be recognised.

If the sensor is permanently exposed to heavily polluted air, the sensitivity may be reduced. An application is therefore particularly recommended for residential or office spaces with occasional exposure to gaseous contaminants. Compatibility with 5 V and 3.3 V systems enables use in various microcontroller setups.
