Description
MH-Z19B carbon dioxide sensor. It uses the non-dispersive infrared principle (NDIR) to detect CO2 in the air. It offers temperature compensation, UART output (3.3 V TTL level) and PWM, high sensitivity, excellent stability and low power consumption. Applications: refrigeration equipment, air quality monitoring equipment, air purifiers, demand-controlled ventilation (DCV), etc.

| 1. The MH-Z19C has one window to receive CO2 gas, while the MH-Z19B has two. 2. The sampling period of the MH-Z19C is 1 second, while that of the MH-Z19B is 5 seconds. 3. The supply of the MH-Z19C is (5+/-0.1) V, while that of the MH-Z19B is 4.5~5.5 V. 4. The MH-Z19C has an analogue output, the MH-Z19B does not. 5. The pre-heating time of the MH-Z19C is 2.5 minutes, while that of the MH-Z19B is 3 minutes. 6. The default self-calibration cycle of the MH-Z19C is 1 day, but a 7-day cycle can be chosen if needed. That of the MH-Z19B is 1 day. Overall the MH-Z19C offers greater consistency and better performance than the MH-Z19B and can replace the MH-Z19B directly. They share the same dimensions. |
