Please note, each sensor is tested before dispatch. Each sensor has a unique serial number which is recorded on the invoice.
The SCD40/41 from Sensirion are a high quality Photoacoustic based CO₂ sensors.
The sensors are 'true' CO₂ sensors that will tell you the CO₂ PPM (parts-per-million) composition of ambient air.
Unlike other sensors, these sensors are not approximating from VOC gas concentration - it really is measuring the CO2 concentration!
In order to improve accuracy the SCD40/41 have integrated temperature and humidity sensing built-in.
Please note: The SCD40 & SCD41 have has an automatic self-calibration routine.
Sensirion recommends 7 days of continuous readings with at least 1 hour a day of 'fresh air' for self-calibration to complete.
There are two variants of this sensor - the SCD-40 and SCD-41.
The SCD-40 is lower cost, and is perfect for indoor/outdoor air quality and CO2 measurements.
It has a range of 400-2,000 ppm with an accuracy of ±(50 ppm + 5% of reading).
The SCD-41 is more expensive, and while it can definitely be used for air quality, it's wide range means its best used for industrial or scientific CO2 measurements where the ppm can get very high.
It has a range of 400-5,000 ppm with an accuracy of ±(40 ppm + 5% of reading)
The sensors can run from 2.4 to 5V but it's more important for it to have a quiet power supply with low ripple, than any particular voltage.
When connecting to a 5V microcontroller like an Arduino UNO the 5V supply is often shared with other electronic components that add noise.
So if your board has 3.3V, connect to that instead.
