CO2 controller | wall mounting | LED indicators | 24 V DC-PoM
Product description
Single-output temperature, humidity, and CO2 controller. The supply voltage is 24 V DC. Temperature, relative humidity, CO2 (carbon dioxide), and ambient light are all measured. This controller controls ventilation systems and regulates fan speed in commercial and residential settings. Based on the measured values, the sensor algorithm controls the single analogue output. This single output can control an EC fan, an AC fan speed controller, or a damper actuator directly.
The following output types are available: 0-10 VDC / 0-20 mA / 0-100% PWM. Modbus RTU provides access to all measurements and the output value. The power supply can be connected either through the terminal blocks or through the RJ45 connector.
The CO2 sensor element can be replaced if necessary. The ambient light sensor can be used in many applications to control the ventilation system based on the occupancy of the room. Modbus RTU can be used to change all of the settings. The light intensity of the LEDs used for status indication can also be adjusted.
Additional specifications and description
Photoacoustic NDIR sensing technology
People produce CO2 or carbon dioxide while breathing. That makes CO2 concentration a good indicator for the occupancy and activity level in a space. In many applications, CO2 sensors are used as an indicator for the ventilation requirements. This HVAC transmitter offers a clear, visual indication of the CO2 level via the green, yellow and red LED. The green LED indicates that the CO2 level is within range - there is sufficient fresh air supply. When the CO2 level enters the alert range, the yellow LED lights up. Red means that CO2 levels are too high or that there is insufficient fresh air supply. The measured temperature, relative humidity, CO2 and ambient light level are available via Modbus RTU. Photoacoustic sensing technology is used here to measure the CO2 level. This makes the sensor very sensitive and specific, making it useful for the detection of various gases. The use of specific infrared wavelengths that correspond to CO2 absorption lines ensures that interference from other gases is minimised.

In contrast to transmissive NDIR sensors, photoacoustic NDIR sensors measure the energy absorbed by CO2 molecules. When the infra-red emitter is pulsed, CO2 molecules absorb infrared light on a regular basis. This causes additional molecular vibration, which results in a pressure wave within the measurement chamber. The higher the concentration of CO2, the more light is absorbed, and thus the amplitude of the acoustic wave increases. A microphone inside the gas chamber detects this, and the CO2 concentration can then be calculated. Photoacoustic NDIR sensing allows for much more miniaturisation of the measurement chamber. Furthermore, because sound waves are omnidirectional, the relative position of the emitter and microphone is unconstrained. Thus, photoacoustic NDIR sensors are typically more mechanically and thermally robust.
How to control fresh air supply?
This sensor's output can control an EC fan, an AC fan speed controller, or a damper actuator. The output value varies proportionally with temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration. The sensor will increase the fan speed or open the damper if more fresh air is required.
RJ45 socket or terminal blocks?
This sensor offers you the choice to connect it via the cage clamp terminal blocks or via the RJ45 connector. Supply voltage and Modbus RTU communication can be connected via the RJ45 connector. Via the terminal blocks it is possible to connect the outputs, Modbus RTU communication and the supply voltage. Never connect the supply voltage via the RJ45 connector and the terminal blocks simultaneously. The supply voltage is 24 V DC. The ground terminals of the power supply (V-) and output (GND) are internally not connected. This means that a 4-wire cable is required to connect this sensor. Most 24 V DC power supplies offer protection against short circuit, overload and overvoltage. A 24 V DC supply voltage increases the safety and reliability of your installation.
This sensor requires very little configuration. It is almost directly usable once it has been installed. Temperature and relative humidity are often region and season specific. These parameters are still adjusted to the correct values during installation. The other default settings will be suitable for most applications. However, they can also be adjusted via the respective Modbus registers if necessary. A different output type, for example, can be selected to make it compatible with other devices: 0-10 VDC; 0-20 mA; 0-100% PWM; Modbus RTU. The light levels of the LEDs used for status indication are adjustable and you can choose to deactivate one or more measurement values. The Modbus register map provides an exhaustive list of all programmable settings.
Self-calibrating to compensate sensor drift
The ABC logic self-calibrating algorithm is by default enabled. This algorithm is designed to be used in applications where CO2 concentrations will drop to outside ambient conditions (400 ppm) at least once (15 minutes) in a 7day period, which is typically seen during unoccupied periods. The sensor will reach its operational accuracy after 25 hours of continuous operation at a condition that it was exposed to ambient reference levels of air at 400 ppm ± 10 ppm CO2.
