General Description
The Smart Citizen Kit V2.1 (SCK 2.1) sensor provides real-time measurements of PM1.0, PM2.5 and PM10 mass concentrations, volatile organic compound (VOC) and equivalent carbon dioxide measurements. The sensor also provides temperature, relative humidity, pressure, noise level, and ambient light measurements.
Principle of Operation
The SCK 2.1 sensor uses an integrated AMS CCS811 metal oxide gas sensor. An algorithm processes the raw sensor measurements to simultaneously report both a VOC and equivalent carbon dioxide concentration.
