EE871
Digital CO2 Probe for Demanding Applications
The E+E CO2 probe EE871 is designed for use in harsh,
demanding OEM applications. A multiple point CO2 and
temperature adjustment procedure leads to excellent
CO2 measurement accuracy over the entire temperature
working range, ideal for use in agriculture or outdoors.
EE871 incorporates the dual wavelength NDIR CO
sensor, which automatically compensates for ageing
effects and is highly insensitive to pollution.
The IP65 enclosure and the replaceable filter offer excellent protection in harsh, polluted environment. With a
special filter cap, the EE871 can be employed in applications with periodical H2O2 sterilization. The compact size,
the M12 connector and the optional mounting flange
allow for fast probe installation or replacement. With the
optional radiation shield, EE871 can be also used outdoors.

The measured data range of up to 5 % CO2 (50,000 ppm) is available on E2 digital interface and up to 1 % CO
(10.000 ppm) is available on Modbus RTU interface.
An optional kit facilitates easy configuration and adjustment of EE871. The measurement interval can be set
according to the application requirements, by this the average current consumption can be reduced to
120 μA for battery-operated devices.

The measured values are saved as a 32Bit float value from 0x2D to 0x30. The factory setting for the
Slave-ID is 246 as an integer 16Bit value. This ID can be customised in the register 0x00 (permitted values
1 - 247).
