Product Overview
This transmitter uses a completely new CO2 sensing
technology. The silicon based CARBOCAP® sensor
provides stability and reliability.
The CARBOCAP sensor operates in accordance with
the single beam, dual wavelength method. This
patented sensor has unique reference measurement
capabilities, offering excellent stability over both time
and temperature. The monolithic Fabry-Perot
Interferometer (FPI) chip uses the optical, mechanical,
and electronic properties of silicon at the same time.
The transmitter is factory set to measure CO
to 2,000 ppm. It requires a Class 2, 24 VDC/V AC power
source and generates an output signal proportional to
the CO
level detected. One simple wire to a screw
2
terminal and a jumper on the Printed Circuit Board
(PCB) combine to select the analog output signal from
the following options:
• 0 to 20 mA
• 4 to 20 mA
• 0 to 10 V (default)
IMPORTANT: The CD-Wxx-00-0 CO
is intended to provide an input to equipment under
normal operating conditions. Where failure or
malfunction of the transmitter could lead to personal
injury or property damage to the controlled
equipment or other property, additional precautions
must be designed into the control system.
Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as
supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit
controls, intended to warn of or protect against
failure or malfunction of the transmitter.

Calibration
Johnson Controls® CO2 transmitters are calibrated
using certified gases for the following:
• output signal (0 to 10 V) proportional to CO
2
concentration (0 to 2,000 ppm)
• altitude range of 0 to 2,000 ft (0 to 600 m) above
sea level without compensation
• relay output trigger point set for 1,000 ppm (in
models featuring the optional relay output)
CARBOCAP Technology
Johnson Controls is licensed to integrate the new,
silicon based CARBOCAP CO
sensor into HVAC or
2
Building Automation Systems. This sensor has several
advantages: high accuracy, excellent stability,
negligible temperature dependence, and ease of
installation.
The structure of the diffusion aspirated, single-beam
dual-wavelength sensor is remarkably simple. It
consists of an Infrared (IR) source, a sample cell, a
tunable interference filter, and an IR detector. The
tunable interference filter enables measurements at
two wavelengths. As a result, references are measured
accurately, without the typically broad tolerances
inherent in dual-beam sensors.
Dust, water vapor, and most chemicals do not affect
the measurement accuracy of the sensor. No special
software compensation patches are required, and the
device requires no maintenance.
Versatile Transmitter
Designed for use with a standard U.S. wallbox or
mounting directly to a wallboard surface, the CO
transmitter generates considerable savings in
installation, operation, and maintenance with no
recalibration costs. Johnson Controls includes a
Drywall Spring-Clip Mounting Kit with each unit.
