The MN-NVOC is equipped with a high-sensitivity Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) sensor that provides broad-spectrum response to a wide range of volatile organic compounds commonly found in indoor environments, including alcohols, benzene derivatives (aromatics), ketones, aldehydes, hydrogen, and certain oxidizing gases.
The device continuously monitors gas molecules released from the following pollution sources and calculates a Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC) concentration value to provide a comprehensive air quality assessment:
Note: The MN-NVOC monitors and outputs the total concentration of the above gases as a single TVOC value — a composite indicator of overall pollution levels. It does not differentiate between individual gas species or provide separate concentration readings for specific gases.
Low initial readings are normal and result from the combined effects of the sensor's physical adaptation and automatic calibration logic:
1. Physical environment adaptation: When the sensor is first removed from its packaging, it transitions from a high-VOC environment (caused by outgassing from packaging materials) to the actual indoor air. The gas-sensitive material on the sensor surface undergoes a desorption and re-equilibration process, during which readings gradually adjust until the sensor stabilizes with the ambient environment.
2. Automatic Baseline Correction (ABC) algorithm: Upon power-on, the sensor runs an Automatic Baseline Correction algorithm that typically requires 24 hours of continuous operation. During this calibration phase, the algorithm learns and establishes a baseline for the environmental background concentration. In the first few hours after power-on, because there is no historical minimum value as a reference (or the reference has not yet converged), the algorithm applies filtering to the raw data before the baseline is locked, which can result in lower initial readings.
Note: Although absolute values may read low during the calibration period, the sensor responds to relative changes in gas concentration in real time. If you open a window for ventilation or bring a volatile aerosol source (such as alcohol or perfume) near the sensor, you will still observe significant value fluctuations. After the 24-hour calibration period, the device locks its baseline and provides accurate air quality data.
The mounting accessories included with standard shipments are designed for wall mounting. However, DIN rail mounting is possible using custom mounting adapters similar to the ones shown in the gallery, which attach the device to a standard DIN rail with simple modification. This is considered a custom mounting solution. If you require DIN rail mounting, please contact us — we can provide customized accessories and supply arrangements to meet your installation needs.
The 4-in-1 MN-NVOC has three sensing elements: one for temperature/humidity and one for TVOC, both located in the external probe head. However, the CO2 sensor is positioned at the inner edge of the device housing — the area marked by the red outline in the adjacent image. To observe a clear CO2 response from breath testing, exhale toward this specific position on the device rather than directly at the external probe.
