Description
How to choose a gas sensor?
The Grove - CO2 Sensor module is infrared CO2 sensor high sensitivity and high resolution. Infrared CO2
sensor MH-Z16 Is a general-purpose, small sensors , the use of non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) Present in
the principle of the air CO2 Detect , with good selectivity, oxygen- dependent , long life, built-in
temperature sensor, temperature compensation ,with UART output , easy to use. It can be widely used in
HVAC and indoor air quality monitoring , industrial process monitoring and security , agriculture and
livestock production process monitoring.

NOTE
The sensor value only reflects the approximated trend of gas concentration in a permissible error range, it
DOES NOT represents the exact gas concentration. The detection of certain components in the air usually
requires a more precise and costly instrument, which can not be done with a single gas sensor. If your
projects aims to obtain the gas concentration at a very precise level, then we do not recommend this gas
sensor.
