ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit User Manual Description Features The ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit (EVK) is designed for evaluating User-friendly EVK expedites configuration and evaluation of Renesas ZMOD4410 Gas Sensor Module for Indoor Air Quality. the ZMOD4410 Gas Sensor Module The total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) measurement is one Water and dustproof version available (IP67 certified) of the indicators for indoor air quality (IAQ). In addition, Supports different methods of operation, including Low Power measurement modes are provided to trigger an external device and AI technology for improved ppm TVOC readings (e.g., fan, ventilation) based on the air quality change, and to discriminate sulfur odors. Operates with Renesas provided software either with executable ZMOD4410 GUI or alternatively with firmware Note: This document supports the waterproof and non-waterproof programming examples for Windows and Linux ZMOD4410 EVKs. The modular design of the EVK allows simple connection of The Gas Sensor Evaluation Software allows Windows -based Sensor Boards for different gas sensor derivatives and easy operating systems to communicate with the ZMOD4410 EVK via a integration with other sensor products via the I2C interface USB connection on the users computer, which functions as a The required Gas Sensor Evaluation Software is available for master. The software and additional related documentation is free download on the Renesas website, which also provides available on the Renesas website at www.IDT.com/ZMOD4410- background information on IAQ, TVOC, gas sensing, and how EVK. to use the sensor firmware. The EVKs Communication Board (HiCom) handles the interface Additional pins to measure power consumption, supply between the users computer and the ZMOD4410 module mounted voltage, and GPIO trigger for external device on the ZMOD4410 Sensor Board (i.e., daughter board). Note: Only The bill of materials (BOM) and schematics for the ZMOD4410 one Communication Board with one Sensor Board can be Communication Board and Sensor Board are included in this connected to the computer at a time. document. The ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit uses an FTDI controller on the Communication Board to handle the USB protocol, translate communications, and synchronize communications with the I2C ZMOD4410-EVK Contents interface. The Sensor Board includes a decoupling capacitor. HiCom Communication Board The Communication Board has devices mounted on both sides. Sensor Board with ZMOD4410 Gas Sensor Module The components on the top side generate a stable supply voltage. 0.5m Type-B USB to Micro-USB Cable A potentiometer can be used to adjust the internal supply voltage in the typical range from 1.7V to 3.6V. Alternatively, the users external supply voltage can be used. The intensity of the adjacent ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit LED is proportional to the supply voltage. 2020 Renesas Electronics Corporation 1 November 13, 2020 ZMOD4410 Evaluation Kit User Manual Important Equipment Warning: Ensure the correct connection of all cables. Supplying the board using the wrong polarity could result in damage to the board and/or the equipment. Check that all jumpers have been placed as specified in this document. Contents 1.
