Overview
The OE256-07 Duct Mounted E-BUS CO
2
Sensor with Remote Pickup
Tube is used for monitoring duct CO
2
levels and is designed for per-
manent mounting in the Return Air duct. It utilizes an aspiration box
to accurately capture CO
2
levels in the duct. It connects to the VCB-X
Controller (OE335-23-VCBX) by using an E-BUS cable with E-BUS
connectors.
See Figure 1 for dimensions.
The Wall Mounted E-BUS CO
2
Sensor (OE256-05) is used for monitor-
ing space CO
2
levels and is designed for permanent wall mounting in
the conditioned space . It connects to the VCB-X Controller using an
EBC E-BUS Expansion Cable. It can be daisy-chained with the E-BUS
Digital Room Sensor (OE217-02, OE217-03, OE217-04) for applica-
tions requiring both a space CO
2
sensor and space temperature sensor.
For more information, refer to the OE256-05 Wall Mounted CO
2
Sensor
Technical Guide.
Some typical applications are:

Controlling ventilation in a building where the occupancy
varies frequently

Controlling ventilation to ensure excess outdoor air is not
causing energy waste

Ensuring good air distribution throughout building zones
Sensor Overview
Features
The CO
2
Sensor provides the following:

Uses the patented dual beam Non-Dispersive Infrared ™
(NDIR) technology

A very accurate and stable sensor guaranteed to maintain
its accuracy due to infrared self-calibration feature of sensor

Sensor accuracy of +/- 50 ppm @ 1000 ppm or 2% of the
measured value

Annual drift of +/- 2 ppm per year

Measurement range of 0 to 2000 ppm

Environmental Requirements
The Duct Mounted E-BUS CO
2
Sensor needs to be installed in an
environment that can maintain a temperature range between 14°F and
122°F and a humidity range between 5% and 95% RH (non-condensing).
