Carbon Dioxide Sensor

Product Information Sheet

210-2000





Setting the Volts/Amps
Switch

The front of the circuit board has a switch that

controls whether the analog output sends a signal as

voltage (V) or milliamps (mA). To work with CPC I/ O
boards, this switch should be set to voltage (the

DOWN position). Verify this switch is in the DOWN

position before operating the sensor.

Sensor Software

Before operating the sensor, you must use the LCD
display and the three buttons on the front of the

circuit board to set the sensor’s operating

parameters. Figure 4 shows the keys on the circuit

board and the setup screens. Use the ENTER key to

cycle through the setup screens, and the + and - keys
to adjust parameter values.




Setpoint

If you are using the CO

2

sensor’s relay for alarming or

control, use the + and - keys to adjust the value of the

set point. When the CO

2

sensor’s reading is above this

set point, the relay will energize. Press ENTER to save

the setpoint value.

Altitude

To properly measure CO

2

concentrations, you must

specify the approximate altitude of the site. Use the +

and - keys to select the number of feet above sea

level closest to the site’s altitude. Press ENTER to save

the altitude value.

Calibration

WARNING! Calibrating the CO

2

sensor requires a gas

calibration kit. DO NOT perform a calibration without

this kit, or else the sensor will give erroneous

readings.

All CO

2

sensors are shipped pre-calibrated, and will

only require calibration once every five years to

ensure proper readings. Calibration requires a special

gas kit available from CPC. Follow the instructions
that come with this kit to calibrate the sensor.

Otherwise, press ENTER to bypass this screen and

continue setup.
