Series CDT and CDTR Duct Mount Carbon Dioxide/ Temperature/Relative
Humidity Transmitters accurately monitor the CO
in schools, ofce buildings, and other indoor environments to help achieve LEED
certication. A non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor is used to automatically correct
the measurement in both occupied and unoccupied buildings against aging effects. In
order to achieve a higher level of accuracy, the Series CDT includes digital barometric
pressure adjustment.
Universal outputs allow users to select the transmitter output to be 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC
or 0-10 VDC to work with virtually any building management controller. An optional
relay with user adjustable set points can be used to control exhaust fans, open
actuated windows or dampers, or signal a light or horn.
For conguration purposes, the Series CDT and CDTR can be ordered with the Model
A-449 remote LCD display that can plug into the mini-connector port on the internal
circuit board. Menu items that can be accessed include: engineering units, relay output
set points, display conguration, transmitter output scaling, and ambient barometric
pressure.

Selection of Current and Voltage Outputs
Prior to wiring, verify that the current/voltage conguration switches (positions 1 and
2) are set to the desired output type. Refer to Figure 1 to locate the conguration
switches. See Figure 2 for diagram of the current/voltage selection switches. For
voltage output selection, the output can be 0-10 VDC, 0-5 VDC, 2-10 VDC or 1-5
VDC. See Figure 3 for the type of voltage output selection switches (positions 3 and 4).

Wire the transmitter according to Figure 4.
NOTICE
Thermistor and RTD Outputs
Thermistor and RTD passive outputs are located on terminals 7 and 8 and do not
require any power. Passive temperature outputs are not polarity sensitive.
Optional relay can be used as either a dry contact or low voltage
switched circuit up to 2 A at 30 VDC.
