The Nova SDS011 PM Sensor is a professional-grade particulate matter (PM) sensor designed for precise detection of PM2.5 and PM10 particles in the air. It uses laser scattering technology to provide accurate and stable readings, making it ideal for applications like air quality monitoring, HVAC systems, IoT devices, and environmental research.
Developed by Nova Fitness Co., the SDS011 is widely recognized as one of the most reliable and affordable dust sensors available today. It uses a built-in laser diode and photodetector to measure particle density, while a high-quality fan ensures a continuous airflow through the sensing chamber. This allows the Nova SDS011 PM Sensor to deliver real-time, repeatable measurements for both PM2.5 and PM10.
