DFRobot Gravity: I2C SCD41 Infrared CO2 Sensor (400 - 5000 ppm)
Description
- DFRobot Gravity: I2C SCD41 Infrared CO2 Sensor
- Utilizes patented Sensirion technology for accuracy
- Compact design for easy installation
- Features integrated temperature and humidity sensor
- Measures CO2 levels from 400 - 5000 ppm
- Operates on the principle of infrared light absorption
The DFRobot Gravity: I2C SCD41 Infrared CO2 Sensor (400 - 5000 Ppm) is a crucial component in maintaining indoor air quality, as elevated levels of CO2 can negatively impact human cognitive performance and overall well-being. This sensor is founded on the SCD41 miniature CO2 sensor from Sensirion, utilizing the photoacoustic NDIR sensing principle in conjunction with Sensirion’s patented PAsens and CMOSens technology. This combination ensures unparalleled accuracy and a compact form factor.
The sensor is equipped with an integrated temperature and humidity sensor, which facilitates on-chip signal compensation. Additionally, it provides temperature and humidity data outputs. The SCD41 sensor operates by detecting the energy absorbed by CO2 molecules. When the infrared emitter is pulsed, CO2 molecules periodically absorb infrared light, causing additional molecular vibration and resulting in a pressure wave within the measurement chamber.

The concentration of CO2 is directly proportional to the amount of light absorbed; the higher the CO2 concentration, the more light is absorbed, and the greater the amplitude of the acoustic wave. This wave is measured by a microphone within the gas chamber, allowing for the calculation of the CO2 concentration.

Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
- A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
- The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
- The RA number must be included with the return.
- Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
- Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
- Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
- A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
- A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
- Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
- Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
- Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
- Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
- Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
- Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
- Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
- Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
- On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
- Professional & Specialized Equipment — See the Professional & Specialized Equipment Warranty page and Professional & Institutional Buyers (B2B) section in the Terms & Conditions.
How to Request a Return Authorization (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
- RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
- Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
