Troubleshooting Carbon Dioxide (CO

2

) Sensors

The UVC is configured to use a 0–2000 PPM, 0–10 VDC, single beam absorption infrared gas
sensor. Each sensor is calibrated according to the table shown.

Use the following procedure to troubleshoot a suspect sensor.

1

Disconnect the sensors output voltage lead from the UVC analog input (xAI-3).

2

Using some other calibrated CO

2

sensing device, take a CO

2

reading at the sensor location.

3

Use the CO

2

reading from Step 2 to determine the expected sensor voltage from Table 25.

4

Using a calibrated multi-meter, measure the actual voltage across the lead removed from
xAI-3 and ground.

5

Compare the expected voltage to the actual voltage.

6

If the actual voltage value deviates substantially (more than 10%) from the expected
voltage, replace the sensor.

In the unlikely event that the CO

2

sensor requires calibration, consult the factory for

information on obtaining calibration equipment and instructions.
