Fermion: ENS160 Smart Air Quality Sensor

SKU: SEN0515

The article introduces the Fermion ENS160 Smart Air Quality Sensor, which is designed for indoor air quality monitoring using ScioSense's ENS160 chip. The sensor employs TrueVOC™ technology and MOX technology to provide accurate data on IAQ parameters such as TVOC, eCO2, and AQI. With features like fast response, anti-interference capabilities, and built-in automatic baseline correction, the ENS160 ensures long-term stability and reliability in air quality monitoring. The sensor's intelligent on-chip algorithms allow for easy interpretation of the environmental data, making it user-friendly and effective for maintaining indoor air quality.
