Bulletin AQ-CDT/CDTR
Series CDT and CDTR Duct Mount Carbon Dioxide/ Temperature/Relative
Humidity Transmitters accurately monitor the CO2 concentration and temperature
in schools, ofce buildings, and other indoor environments to help achieve LEED
certication. For increased sensor life, a single- beam dual-wavelength non-dispersive
infrared (NDIR) sensor is used to automatically correct the measurement in both
occupied and unoccupied buildings against aging effects. The single-beam dualwavelength sensor technology provides the highest level of accuracy, compared to
Automatic Baseline Correction methods, which can unintentionally shift the calibration
based on CO
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 the Model A-449 remote LCD display that can plug into the mini-connector
port on the internal circuit board. Both the CDT and CDTR can be congured to display
temperature only, CO
display relative humidity or CO
be accessed include: engineering units, relay output set points, display conguration,
transmitter output scaling, and ambient barometric pressure.
Single-beam dual-wavelength sensor advantages:
• Automatically corrects for aging effects in occupied and unoccupied buildings
◦ Perfect for hospitals and manufacturing plants that are occupied 24 hours per
• Measures actual unltered light intensity directly
◦ Eliminates error from incorrect assumptions of gas concentration in theoretical
2 levels and barometric pressure conditions. In order to achieve a higher

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 & 4).
