INTRODUCTION, PARTS LIST, AND
SPECIFICATIONS
Introduction
The CO2 sensor is especially designed to work in conjunction with LG Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs). Real-time CO2 levels are detected and displayed on the sensor’s LCD. The CO2 sensor then sends the data to the LG ERV via the hard-wired connection cable coupled with
the supplied 33-foot extension cable. LG ERVs, using stand-alone embedded logic, will respond to CO2 changes in the surrounding ambient
air by applying demand control ventilation when its fan is set to Auto mode. Energy efficiency is increased, and indoor air quality can be
improved when ventilation air is introduced to the monitored space only as necessary.
The CO2 sensor does not work with interlock or slave operation with indoor units.

INSTALLATION AND WIRING
1. Open the Case.
To open CO2 sensor case, insert a flat-head screwdriver in the slot (see right), and gently twist.
2. Remove the CO2 sensor Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The installer needs to remove the PCB attached to the bottom part of the case before
wall-mounting the CO2 sensor. To detach, push the support tabs out that are holding the PCB, lift
the PCB up, and remove.
To avoid damaging the CO2 sensor PCB, place it in a clean secure
location while the backplate is being installed.
Figure 3: Push the Support Tabs Out.
3. Choose an installation location for the CO2 sensor.
General Dos
The CO2 sensor should be installed:
• In an occupied space that has air exchange from the ERV
• Where it can accurately detect the CO2 level of the space
• Four (4) to five (5) feet above the floor where its LED display can
be read easily (if CO2 sensor monitoring is required; possibly near
the zone controller)
• In an area with good air circulation
• Where the CO2 sensor is within reach of the ERV with the one (1) factory-supplied 33-foot extension
cable
To detach the PCB from the
bottom cover, push the support
tabs out.
Figure 2: Removing the Cover.
Figure 4: Attaching the CO2
Sensor Case to the
Wall.
General Don’ts
Do not install the CO2 sensor near or in:
• Drafts or dead spots behind doors and in corners
Sensor Installation Manual
2
• An open window
4. Wall-mount the CO2 sensor.
LG CO
Using the bottom part of the case as a template, mark the area on the wall where the three (3) factory-supplied screws and the access hole for the hard-wired connection cable should go. Drill the holes,
then attach the bottom of the CO2 sensor case securely to the wall.
Holes for the Three (3) Screws
5. Reinsert the PCB and reattach the cover.
After wiring is complete (see Wiring), place the right side of the PCB under the guides on the case. Gently push the left side of the PCB
under the support tabs until it snaps in place, indicating it is secure.
Position the three guides (on the cover) at the bottom of the case, then push down on the top until the two hooks snap in place.
Figure 5: CO2 Sensor PCB.
Wiring
The CO2 sensor PCB has a hard-wired connection cable ending in a female terminal. The factory-supplied 33-foot male extension cable connects this cable to the CN-CO2 terminal on the ERV PCB. No
splicing or additional connections are required.

AND TROUBLESHOOTING
Wiring Procedure
1. Power down the ERV.
2. Attach one male end of the extension cable to the female connection on the hard-wired cable.
3. Attach the other male end of the extension cable to the CN-CO2 terminal on the ERV Main PCB.
4. Reattach the CO2 sensor PCB to the bottom of the case (that has already been wall-mounted).
Figure 6: Wiring from ERV PCB to CO2 Sensor.
Use only the hard-wired factory supplied 33-foot extension wire.
Field-supplied wires and / or splicing is not / are not permitted.
There is risk of unit failure or malfunction if cables other than LG
supplied components are used.
Operation
1. At initial power up, a wrench symbol will appear on the LCD and the yellow LED on
the CO2 sensor PCB lights up for two (2) to three (3) seconds.
2. Turn ERV on at the zone controller or central controller. Set the ERV fan mode to Auto.
3. The ambient CO2 concentration in parts per million (ppm) will then appear on the
LCD. Permit the system to operate for about five [5] minutes before obtaining an
accurate reading.
4. The CO2 reading will update every three (3) seconds, using data from the CO2
infrared sensor.
5. ERV fans will automatically operate according to CO2 sensor readings (see table at right).
Table 3: ERV Operation Sequence with CO2 Sensor.
CO2 Sensor Reading ERV Fan Operation
<500 ppm Off
500-700 ppm Low Speed
700-900 ppm High Speed
>900 ppm Super High Speed
Troubleshooting
• The wrench symbol displays on the LCD and the yellow LED on the CO2 sensor PCB turns on if there is an error and / or if the reading is
outside the measuring range (0 to 2,000 ppm).
• Both the wrench symbol and the yellow LED will turn off when the CO2 sensor returns to normal operation.
• If CO2 readings fluctuate ±200 ppm, the reading may be unstable.
• If the system has been operating for more than five (5) minutes, and readings continue to be unstable, verify that the CO2 sensor’s
connections are properly secured.
