Product Details
APM3000 Infrared Dust Particle Sensor PM2.5 Sensor Detection Module
1. Applications
- Indoor Air Quality Monitoring Devices: Integrated into standalone
PM2.5 monitors for homes, offices, or schools to real-time display
indoor PM2.5 concentrations, helping users grasp air quality
changes (e.g., from cooking fumes or outdoor smog infiltration).
- Air Purifiers & HVAC Systems: Used as a core detection component in
air purifiers or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)
systems—enabling automatic adjustment of fan speed or purification
intensity based on real-time PM2.5 levels, optimizing energy
efficiency and purification effects.
- IoT & Smart Home Ecosystems: Compatible with IoT hardware (e.g.,
smart thermostats, smart sockets with air quality functions) to
transmit PM2.5 data to cloud platforms or mobile apps, supporting
remote monitoring and intelligent scene linkage (e.g., triggering
air purifiers when PM2.5 exceeds a threshold).
- Automotive Air Quality Systems: Applied in in-vehicle air quality
monitors or built-in car air purifiers to detect PM2.5 from road
dust or exhaust, ensuring healthy air for passengers during
commutes.
- Industrial & Commercial Environments: Used in light industrial
workshops (e.g., electronics assembly plants) or commercial spaces
(e.g., shopping malls, hospitals) to monitor particulate pollution,
meeting basic air quality management requirements.
2. Features
- Accurate PM2.5 Target Detection: Specialized in measuring PM2.5
(particles with diameter ≤2.5μm) with a typical accuracy of ±15% of
reading (0–1000μg/m³), ensuring reliable data for air quality
assessment.
- Fast Response & Real-Time Data: Boasts a short response time (≈8s)
and 1-second data refresh frequency, enabling quick capture of
sudden PM2.5 concentration changes (e.g., from temporary dust
sources).
- Low Power Consumption: Operates at a typical current of 10mA (max
12mA) and standby current of 2mA (max 3mA), suitable for
battery-powered devices (e.g., portable monitors) or long-term
continuous operation.
- Wide Environmental Adaptability: Functions stably in a temperature
range of -20°C to 75°C and 0–95% RH (non-condensing), adapting to
harsh indoor/outdoor (protected) environments without performance
loss.
- Compact & Easy Integration: Features a small form factor (approx.
46.3×34.2×19mm) and digital output (PWM signal), simplifying
circuit design and installation into various devices with limited
space.
- Long Service Life: Offers an expected lifespan of around 5 years
under normal operation, reducing the need for frequent sensor
replacement and lowering maintenance costs for end products.
