Description

This industrial-grade CO2 sensor employs Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) technology to deliver stable and accurate carbon dioxide concentration readings, immune to interference from other gases. Its robust, threaded IP65 enclosure ensures reliable performance in demanding conditions such as greenhouses, ventilation systems, and industrial facilities.

The sensor communicates via a standard RS485 interface using the Modbus-RTU protocol, allowing for straightforward daisy-chaining and integration with PLCs, data loggers, or microcontrollers like Arduino using a converter. It features manual calibration support for maintaining long-term measurement accuracy and includes a breathable waterproof membrane to protect the sensing element.

Key Features

  • NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) sensing principle for high selectivity and stability.
  • Wide measurement range of 400–5000 ppm CO2, suitable for indoor air quality and process control.
  • Robust IP65-rated threaded metal housing for durability in dusty or humid environments.
  • RS485 Modbus-RTU output for industrial communication and multi-drop network capability.
  • Low power consumption, drawing less than 10 mA at 12V DC for energy-efficient operation.
  • Fast response time of 5 seconds for real-time monitoring and control feedback.
  • Manual calibration function to ensure long-term accuracy and sensor health.
  • Operating temperature range from -30°C to 75°C for versatile application deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol for this CO2 sensor?

The sensor communicates via an RS485 interface using the Modbus-RTU protocol. This allows for reliable, noise-immune data transmission over long distances and enables easy daisy-chaining of multiple sensors on a single bus for integration with PLCs, SCADA systems, or microcontrollers using a USB-to-RS485 converter.

What is the power supply requirement for this sensor?

The sensor requires a 12V DC power supply and consumes less than 10 mA during operation. Ensure your power source is stable and can provide the required voltage within the specified range to guarantee accurate sensor performance and longevity.

How do I calibrate this NDIR CO2 sensor?

This sensor supports manual calibration to maintain long-term accuracy. The procedure typically involves exposing the sensor to a known concentration of CO2 (often using fresh outdoor air or a calibration gas) and sending a specific Modbus command to set the baseline. Refer to the product's datasheet for the exact calibration command sequence and recommended intervals.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, with its IP65 rating, the sensor is dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for use in many outdoor and harsh indoor environments like greenhouses or industrial facilities. However, it should not be submerged or exposed to high-pressure water.
