Series CDT and CDTR Duct Mount Carbon Dioxide and Temperature
Transmitters
accurately monitor the CO

2

concentration and temperature in

schools, office buildings, and other indoor environments to help achieve LEED®
certification. For increased sensor life, a single- beam dual-wavelength non-
dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor is used to automatically correct the
measurement in both occupied and unoccupied buildings against aging effects.
The single-beam dual-wavelength sensor technology provides the highest level of
accuracy, compared to Automatic Baseline Correction methods, which can
unintentionally shift the calibration based on CO

2

levels and barometric pressure

conditions. In order to achieve a higher level of accuracy, the Series CDT includes
digital barometric pressure adjustment and the ability to field-calibrate the sensor.

Universal outputs allow users to select the transmitter output to be 4 to 20 mA, 0
to 5 VDC or 0 to 10 VDC to work with virtually any building management controller.
An optional relay with user adjustable set points can be used to control exhaust
fans, open actuated windows or dampers, or signal a light or horn.

For applications that require visual indication, the Series CDT and CDTR can be
ordered with the Model A-449 remote LCD display that can plug into the mini-
connector port on the internal circuit board. Both the CDT and CDTR can be
configured to display temperature only, CO

2

only or CO

2

and temperature together.

The CDTR can also display relative humidity or CO

2

and relative humidity together.

Menu items that can be accessed include: engineering units, relay output set
points, display configuration, transmitter output scaling, ambient barometric
pressure and field calibration of the transmitter.

Single-beam dual-wavelength sensor advantages:
• Automatically corrects for aging effects in occupied and unoccupied buildings

o

Perfect for hospitals and manufacturing plants that are occupied 24 hours per
day

• Measures actual unfiltered light intensity directly

o

Eliminates error from incorrect assumptions of gas concentration in theoretical
logic assumption methods

INSTALLATION

Disconnect power supply before installation to prevent electrical
shock and equipment damage.

Make sure all connections are in accordance with the job wiring diagram and in
accordance with national and local electrical codes. Use copper conductors only.

Upon powering the transmitter, the firmware version will flash on
the display. A warm up period of 30 minutes is required for the

transmitter to adjust to the current CO

2

concentration.

NOTICE

WARNING

Use electrostatic discharge precautions (e.g., use of wrist
straps) during installation and wiring to prevent equipment

damage.

CAUTION

Self calibration feature of the transmitter requires exposure to
normal outdoor equivalent carbon dioxide level once every thirty

days.

NOTICE

Avoid locations where severe shock or vibration, excessive
moisture or corrosive fumes are present.

CAUTION

Do not exceed ratings of this device, permanent damage not
covered by warranty may result.

CAUTION
