Note:

The minimum number of a 、 sensors is 00NN 01, max .00 07.When the MM value is 00, the maximum
NN value can be 07, and the value of all sensors can be read at this time, or 01, and the number of CO2 can
only be read separately at 01. And so on.

The front address of the b 、 register, when increasing the data length, can read the data of the back sensor, but
the back address of the register can not read the data of the sensor before this address.

3. Data Calculation Method for Each Sensor

CO2(ppm)= CO2_H*256+CO2_LTVOC

(ug/m3)=(TVOC_H*256+TVOC_L)/10.0

CH2O

(ug/m3)=(CH2O_H*256+CH2O_L)/10.0PM2.5(ug/m3)=

PM2.5_H*256+PM2.5_L

PM10(ug/m3)= PM10_H*256+PM10_L
 Humidity (%RH) ＝ -6 + 125 * SRH / 65536

SRH= Hum_H * 256 + Hum_L

Temperature (℃) ＝ -46.85 + 175.72 * STem / 65536

STem=Tem_H*256+Tem_L

Note: ❶ If you need to use mg / m3 as the unit, please convert it by

yourself. The conversion formula is: 1mg / m3 = 1000ug / m3
❷The length of the CRC check byte is 17 (that is, bytes of Byte [0] ~
Byte [16]), select A001 or 8005 in reverse order.

Six, matters needing attention

1. Avoid contact with organic solvents (including silica gel and
other adhesives), coatings, pharmaceuticals, oils and high-
concentration gases.
2. The module must not be subjected to excessive impact or
vibration.
3. Do not use this module in systems involving personal safety.
4. Do not install the module in a strong air convection
environment.
