PMS5003 Particulate Matter(PM) Sensor Installation

[Note: The included cable breakout board (circuit board) will not be used.]

Do not force the cable onto the pins. This can danage the PM Sensor or Enviroplus!

Step 1:

Plug the ribbon cable into the blue PMS5003 Sensor with the side of the plug with the lines/metal up perpendicular to the pins closest to the edge.
