Series CDT and CDTR Wall Mount Carbon Dioxide Temperature Transmitters
accurately monitor the CO

®
certication. Additionally, the
Series CDTR also measures ambient relative humidity. 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 applications that require visual indication, the Series CDT and CDTR can be
ordered with an integral LCD display, Model A-449 or Model A-449A remote LCD
display that can plug into the mini-connector port on the side of the transmitter. Both the
CDT and CDTR can be congured to display temperature only, CO
temperature together. The Series CDTR can also display relative humidity or CO
2 only, or CO2 and
2 and
relative humidity together. Push buttons are standard on the transmitters for access
to the menu structure in models with displays. To prevent tampering, the action of the
buttons can be locked out using an internal dip switch selection. Menu items that can
be accessed include: engineering units, relay output set points, display conguration,
transmitter output scaling, ambient barometric pressure and eld calibration of the
transmitter.
The Series CDT and CDTR CO
2 transmitters are available with a -S option that
provides the necessary attributes and parameters to be e with DSA requirements for
monitoring CO

intermittently occupied spaces. The ABC algorithm accounts for long term drift by
making small adjustments to it’s zero calibration point based on the lowest CO
readings it measures. CO

ABC algorithm. For environments occupied 24 hours per day it is recommended to
periodically expose the CO

moisture or corrosive fumes are present.
Do not exceed ratings of this device, permanent damage not
covered by warranty may result.
NOTICE
Upon powering the transmitter, the rmware version will ash on
the display. A warm up period of 30 minutes is required for the

1. Push tab on top and bottom of cover and lift cover from back plate (see Figure 1).
2. Select the mounting location, away from diffusers, lights or any external
inuences.
3. Mount transmitter on a vertical surface to a standard electrical box using the two
#6 M2C type screws provided.
4. Pull wires through sub base hole and make necessary connections.
5. Reattach cover to base plate.
WIRING
Use maximum 18 AWG wire for wiring to terminals. Refer to Figure 4 for wiring
information.

Current/Voltage Outputs
On the Series CDT, the transmitter may be wired for current or voltage output for both
carbon dioxide and temperature. On the Series CDTR, the transmitter may be wired
for current or voltage output for both carbon dioxide and humidity. The transmitter can
be powered with either 16-35 VDC or 19-28 VAC. Wire the transmitter according to
Figure 4.
NOTICE
Remote Display
For models that are ordered without an integral LCD display, remote display Model
A-449 can be used to display the temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide. The mini
USB plug of the remote display plugs into the receptor on the side of the housing.
After a short warm up time, the display will begin to show the current temperature and
carbon dioxide measurements unless congured by the user to show humidity and
carbon dioxide, only temperature, only humidity, or only carbon dioxide.
Optional relay can be used as either a dry contact or low voltage
switched circuit up to 2 A at 30 VDC
