TRANSMITTERS FOR CO2, CO AND TEMPERATURE

BE PRECISE:

ADVANTAGES AT A GLANCE

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless and odorless gas that can only be detected with a measuring instrument and

which is dangerous and can be fatal for humans and animals in high concentrations. CO2 transmitters enable air

monitoring in commercial and residential buildings, underground garages and tunnels, hospitals, greenhouses,

transportation and storage areas.

TRANSMITTERS FOR CO2, CO AND TEMPERATURE

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CO

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless and orderless gas that exists in the earth’s atmosphere and which is dangerous in high concentra-

tions. The proportion of CO2 in natural ambient air is about 0.04 % or 400 ppm. When humans and animals exhale this gas, it is quickly

mixed with the ambient air, as well as in rooms that are well ventilated.

A high CO2 content becomes apparent in humans through rapid fatigue and loss of concentration. The negative effects become

noticeable more quickly in small rooms in which there are many people or that are not well ventilated.

Modern climate control systems measure not only parameters such as relative humidity and temperature, but also CO2 content.

The concentration of CO2 is regarded as an impor tant indicator for the quality of room air.

Measurement technique

The measurement technique is based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology.

Calibration

All sensors are calibrated they have a lifetime of more than 15 years in normal indoor applications.

The automatic baseline correction means the sensors require no further calibration.
