is a potential digital to analog error of up to 1%.
ABC Logic™ Self Calibration System
ABC Logic™ (Automatic Background Calibration) self
calibration allows the sensor to continually recalibrate
itself when the indoor concentrations drop to outside
levels while the building is unoccupied. Generally a
building must be regularly unoccupied for 4 hours
or more for this self-calibration system to operate
properly. Under these conditions, ABC Logic™ should
maintain sensor calibration over the lifetime of the
sensor. The ABC Logic™ should be turned OFF where
a building is continuously occupied 24 hours per day,
or where there could be significant sources of nonoccupant related CO2 such as greenhouses, breweries
and other industrial and food processing applications.
