The Renesas RRH62000 is an integrated all-in-one sensor module for air quality monitoring that combines particulate matter (PM), TVOC, and humidity and temperature (RHT) sensors with a Renesas MCU and firmware.

This combination of sensors and the easy getting-started sample coding with the evaluation kit (EVK) provide a solution for environmental monitoring applications.

The module is compact and connects to the main board via a 6-pin connector. The RRH62000 is easy to replace without re-spinning a new board and layout.

It helps to save energy by allowing HVAC systems to support demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) based on the environmental parameters reported by this module.

Rather than running HVAC systems indiscriminately based on a certain time interval regardless of the air quality and occupancy, DCV runs when air quality degrades and pollutants are present.

The module enables simultaneous sensor measurements producing up to eight key sensor outputs. Particle size detection range is 0.3 μm to 10.0 μm.

TVOC concentrations and indoor air quality (IAQ) index are monitored according to PBAQ standards. The module is siloxane resistant.

Applications cover air purification, air quality sensors, HVAC systems, smoke detectors, thermostats and room controllers. In smart homes routers and IP cameras, vent hoods and stoves.

The sensor module is in stock at authorised distributor DigiKey
