Honeywell IH-PMC-001

The Honeywell Intelligent Particulate Matter Sensor (IPM Series) is a laser-based sensor that uses light scattering to detect and measure particulate matter concentration for air quality monitoring. The detection concentration range is 0μg/m³ to 1000μg/m³. A laser light source illuminates particulate matter drawn into the detection chamber. As particles pass through the laser beam, light is reflected off the particles and recorded by a photodetector. The light is then analyzed and converted into an electrical signal to calculate particulate matter concentration. During production calibration, the sensor records raw laser intensity parameters and fan speed. A calibration algorithm is applied to the sensor output to minimize sensor drift and improve accuracy over the sensor's service life. This self-calibration is performed at every power-on cycle.
