- 2-channel infrared (IR) sensor measures from 0 to 9999 ppm
- ± 50 ppm + 2% of measured value up to 5000 ppm
- ± 100 ppm + 3% of measured value from 5000 to 9999 ppm
- Second reference beam allows for compensation of environmental and disturbing
influences
- No user calibration needed
- Narrow CO2 probe allows measuring in fresh air and exhaust air channels
- Uses reliable infrared absorption
- Physical measuring technique does not display cross-sensitivity
to other gases
- Long-term sensor stability
- Wide measuring range; highly accurate
- 0 to 9999 ppm (0 to 1 Vol. % CO2)
- Completely reliable
- Records Min, Max, and Mean values
- Short-term and long-term monitoring
- Simple and economical
- Suitable for schools and commercial buildings
- 9-volt battery operation
- Wall mount and printer options
Applications
- Testing stationary CO2 transmitters in demand controlled ventilating systems (DCVs)
- Measuring the CO2 concentration in incoming and outgoing ducts
- Monitoring indoor air quality in open plan offices
- Providing quick readings wherever there is occupant distress
With its high contribution to Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), carbon
dioxide concentration is frequently used to evaluate indoor air quality
and ventilation. The reliable 535 Carbon Dioxide Monitor can be used
to quickly and accurately assess carbon dioxide concentration levels
on both a short-term and long-term basis. Easy to use and lightweight,
the 535 monitor is completely portable. Its simple keypad makes it
easy to operate in any setting. No user calibration is needed due
to the monitor’s highly stable sensor. An optional protective
case, wall mounting holder, and carrying holder are all available
separately.
Carbon Dioxide & IAQ
Elevated CO2 levels can cause occupants
to complain of room stuffiness or a stale air smell. This means there
is inadequate ventilation.
Improper ventilation also promotes the build-up of other chemical
and biological contaminants that can cause health effects in occupants.
A method for evaluating IAQ is continuous CO2 monitoring
using a datalogging instrument. Supplement CO2 monitoring
with measurements
of temperature, relative humidity, airflow movement, and airflow
volume. For more information on products to sample these parameters,
see the Indoor
Environmental Quality Instruments page.
