Working Principle
Sampling by the internal pressure which occurs by fan, when sampling particles pass through light beam (laser),
there will be a light scattering phenomenon. Scattered light will be converted into an electrical signal (pulse) via a
photoelectric transformer. The bigger particles will obtain a stronger pulse signal (peak value). Through peak value
and pulse value quantity concentration of particles in each size can be calculated. Thus, real-time measured data is
obtained by measuring the quantity and strength of scattered light.

Internal Architecture Description
▪ When the fan works, it will generate airflow. When the particles in the sampled gas pass through the beam of the
light source (laser), a light scattering phenomenon occurs, and the scattered light is converted into an electrical
signal (i.e., a pulse) by the photoelectric converter.
The larger the particle size, the larger the amplitude of the pulse signal output.
▪ The number of particles of different sizes is calculated by comparing the peak value with the predetermined
threshold value, and the mass concentration value is obtained by a professional algorithm.
By testing the intensity of the scattered light, real-time test data is obtained.

Product Installation
▪ When installing PM2008 sensor module in your system or equipment, please make sure that the air inlet and air
outlet are unobstructed. And there is no huge airflow face to the air inlet and air outlet. In order to avoid dust
deposition on the surface of the sensitive component (laser diode and photosensitive diode) which may affect the
measurement accuracy, the appropriate installation ways are recommended as below.

User Attention
▪ Metal case conducts with GND of the internal power supply. Don’t short-circuit with other external circuit or shell.
▪ The best installation way is to make the surface of air inlet and outlet of the sensor clings to the air vent in the inner
wall of the user device that communicates with the outside. If it’s not possible, then an air isolation structure between
the air inlet and the air outlet is necessary to avoid the air back flow in the user’s device.
▪ Air vent on the internal wall of the user’s device for airflow should be bigger than the size of air inlet of the sensor.
▪ For purification products, the sensor cannot be installed in the purifying air duct. If it’s not possible, it’s necessary
to design a separate structure for sensor installation to isolate the sensor from air purifier duct.
▪ For purifier and detector device, the sensor should be installed above 20cm higher than the floor to avoid
contamination of large dust particles or even flocs near the ground entering the sensor, which influences the
measurement.
▪ The sensor should be prohibited from using for outdoor inspection equipment. Dust storms, rain, snow, and willow
flocs can have a significant impact on unprotected sensors.
▪ A sensor is a complete unit. Disassembling metal shielding cover may cause irreversible damage.
▪ It is for household electronics products. For the application of medical, mining, disaster preparedness, which
needs high security and high dependence, this sensor is not suitable.
▪ Avoid using the sensor under the condition with strong magnetic, such as situation close to stereo speaker,
microwave oven, induction cooking.
▪ There is no high pressure transient protection circuit of the sensor. The power supply of the sensor should be
stable and low noise. Please refer to the working voltage in specification table.
▪ When RC is used to reduce voltage, be cautious that the metal shell should be connected with either 220VAC live
wire or the neutral wire.
www.gassensor.com.cn 9/23
▪ If isolated switch power supply is adopted to obtain DC power, please control the capacitance between the DC
ground and the AC ground below 2.2nF and withstand voltage reaches to 3KV.
▪ It is defined as 3R laser product according to《GB7247.1-2012 laser product safety with laser radiation inside》.
Please avoid direct exposure to your eyes. Warning sign as below.

4.2 Open / Close Particle Measurement
Send: 11 03 0C DF1 1E [CS]
Response: 16 02 0C DF1 [CS]
Function: Open / close particle measurement
Note:
1. When sensor is power-on, it starts continuous measuring.
2. When sending command, DF1= 02 means opening measurement, DF1= 01 means closing measurement;
3. When receiving response, DF1= 02 means measuring opened, DF1= 01 means measuring closed;
4. When the sensor receives the command of opening measurement, it will be in default continuous testing mode.
Continuously working mode:
▪ When continuously measuring mode is set, sensor situation is 2 . When PM1.0 is less than 5ug/m3, then
measuring is close (situation changes to 0x80, only the laser diode turns off for 5 seconds) and outputs the
last value in standby mode. After 5 seconds, the PM sensor resumes the measurement for 4 seconds , If
PM1.0 measuring data within the 4s is less than 5ug/m3, then measuring is close (situation changes to 0x80,
www.gassensor.com.cn 15/23
only the laser diode turns off for 5 seconds). Otherwise, the sensor will go ahead testing until the PM1.0
measuring data is less than 5ug/m3.
Example:
Send: 11 03 0C 02 1E C0 // open particle measurement
Response: 16 02 0C 02 DA // module is under particle measurement open status

Send: 11 01 0D E1 // read particle measuring time
Response: 16 03 0D DF1 DF2 [CS]
Function: Read particle measuring time
Note:
1. Particle measuring time= DF1 * 256 + DF2, unit is second. Minimum measuring time is 36 seconds. Time range is
36 ~ 65,535 seconds. After setting up successfully, the sensor will stop working first, then you can send “Open”
command to start single xx seconds measuring.
2. When measuring time is ≥ 65,531, it means module will be in continuous measuring mode once powered on.
It will not stop until stop command is sent.
Example:

4.5 Set up Dynamic Measuring Mode
Send: 11 02 06 DF1 [CS] // Set up dynamic particle measuring mode
Send: 11 01 06 E8 // Read dynamic particle measuring mode
Response: 16 02 06 DF1 [CS]
Function: Read/set up particle dynamic measuring mode
Note:
1. Particle dynamic measuring mode result DF1.
2. When DF1= 00, close dynamic measuring mode. When DF1= 01, start dynamic measuring mode.
Dynamic Working Mode Description:
After sensors are in dynamic working mode, start measuring every 30sec. The sensor starts the measurement for
the first 3 seconds.
After 3 seconds of measurement, the sensor starts measuring again continuously for 16 seconds and outputs the B
value.
The laser diode turns off for 11 seconds, enters the standby state, and outputs the B value.
After the first 30 second period, the sensor starts a new 3 second measurement and outputs the A value.
① If | A-B | >10ug/m³ or | A-B | / B >10%, the sensor selects Dynamic mode 1. The sensor measures continuously
for 16 seconds and outputs the C value.
The laser diode turns off for 11 seconds, enters the standby state, and outputs the C value.
②If | A-B | <10ug/m³ or | A-B | / B <10%, the sensor selects Dynamic mode 2 and stores A value, then enters
standby state for 27 seconds and outputs A value.
Remark: A, B, C value is related to PM1.0 Grimm mass concentration
Regardless of the dynamic mode A or B, the sensor starts a new 30 second measurement cycle by starting the initial
3 second measurement. Compare the measured value with the previously stored value for the initial 3 seconds and
select Dynamic mode 1 or 2 again.

Remark:
The module can support 4 kinds of working mode (Single+Continuous+Timing+Dynamic). It can be switched
between these 4 kinds of working mode. It is continuous working mode by default after leaving factory. These 4
kinds of working mode can be switched by sending commands, as following:
1. Send: 11 03 0D 00 24 BB // Single measuring mode, time is 36sec. After setting up successfully, the sensor will
stop working first, then you can send “Open” command to start single 36sec measuring.
