Handling Guideline

For the SCD30 CO

Introduction

The SCD30 CO

, humidity and temperature sensor

consists of a PCB with discrete electric components and

an optical cell: The RH/T sensor is soldered on the PCB,

concentration is measured in an optical cell in a

dual-channel configuration.

Never touch or apply force on the optical cell. Only handle the sensor by touching the PCB. The sensor should always be

handled with clean gloves in a clean environment to keep the sensor away from contaminant like dust, dirt or grease.

The SCD30 is an ESD sensitive product and must be prevented from electrostatic discharge events at all times. Thus,

operators must always use proper ESD equipment when handling the sensor. Furthermore, the SCD30 sensor module

must only be touched on the long side of the PCB to avoid contact with the metallized parts of the optical cavity.

Force applied on the optical cell and ESD events might

impact the sensor accuracy and functionality. This

application note explains how to handle the SCD30

properly to guarantee optimal sensing performance and

to avoid sensor damage.
