MCO Home PM2.5 Sensor Air Quality Monitors - 12V

The MCO Home PM2.5 Sensor Air Quality Monitor (12V DC version, often model MH10-PM2.5-WD) is a Z-Wave compatible device designed for indoor environmental monitoring.

Functionalities:

• Monitored Parameters:

  • PM2.5 Concentration (Fine Dust): Real-time monitoring with a detection range of $0$ to $999.9$ μg/m3.

  • Temperature: Range typically from $-9.0$ to $50$ $\text{°C}$ ($15.8$ to $122$ $\text{°F}$).

  • Humidity: Range typically from $0\%$ to $99\%$ $\text{RH}$.

  • Note: Some retailers also mention an integrated VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) sensor, but the core function is PM2.5, temperature, and humidity.

• Smart Home Technology: Compatible with Z-Wave Plus networks, allowing it to communicate with a Z-Wave gateway/controller and integrate into a broader smart home system. It can also act as a repeater in the Z-Wave mesh network.

• Power Supply: $12$V DC (This is the defining feature of this specific model variant).

• Design: Features a modern design with a tempered glass touch surface and an LCD display to show the measured values and local time.

• Functionality:

  • Reports detected data (PM2.5, temperature, humidity) to the Z-Wave gateway.

  • Can potentially be used to trigger alarms or control external systems (like air ventilation) directly or via the Z-Wave controller when predefined limits are exceeded.

  • Allows for manual calibration and setting of local time.

• Installation: Wall-mounted (Vertical) with hole pitches of $60$ $\text{mm}$ or $82$ $\text{mm}$.
