Overview

The T6713-6H is a miniature NDIR CO2 sensor module designed for high-accuracy carbon dioxide monitoring in indoor environments. It features a measurement range of 0 to 5000 ppm and provides versatile output options including I2C, UART, and PWM. This sensor is calibrated for long-term stability and is ideal for applications requiring consistent air quality data.

Why Choose This Part

The module offers a flexible 4.5V to 5.5V supply range and high precision with +/-3 percent accuracy. It supports multiple digital interfaces including I2C and Modbus, making it easy to integrate with various microcontrollers. Additionally, its compact form factor and low typical running current of 155mA facilitate integration into space-constrained devices.

Applications

Demand Control Ventilation
Optimizing HVAC systems by adjusting fresh air intake based on real-time CO2 levels to reduce energy consumption.
Indoor Air Quality Monitoring
Integration into smart home hubs and office environmental monitors to ensure healthy air standards.

Getting Started

To interface with the T6713-6H, connect the VDD pin to a stable 5V supply and use the I2C pins with 2.2k-10k ohm pull-up resistors for communication. Developers should implement the Modbus protocol over I2C or UART as specified in the Telaire T6713 technical documentation. For initial testing, an Arduino or ESP32 can be used to read the 16-bit CO2 concentration values from the sensor's registers.
