 Duct and Rough Service Sensor

The BAPI CO

2

 Duct Sensor is an accurate and reliable way 

of incorporating demand controlled ventilation. It measures 

CO

2

 in ranges of 0 to 2,000, 0 to 5,000, 0 to 10,000 and 0 

to 50,000 ppm with a field selectable output of 0 to 5 or 0 to 

10 VDC.
The Single Beam (ACD) unit has been optimized for 

periodically unoccupied areas and features automatic 

background calibration over a long time period to reduce 

drift. The Dual Channel (DCD) “24/7” unit has been 

optimized for continuously occupied areas and features a 

3-point calibration process. 

Barometric pressure changes from altitude or weather 

can affect CO

2

 sensors, even putting them outside of their 

specified accuracy. The BAPI unit has a built-in Barometric 

pressure sensor that continuously compensates the output 

for accurate readings despite the weather or altitude.
The Duct unit samples duct air using an aspiration tube. 

The Rough Service unit features a ventilated BAPI-Box and 

is ideal for areas such as outdoor air plenums, equipment 

rooms, attics, green houses and warehouses. Optional 

indication of the CO

2

 level as “Good, Fair or Poor” is 

available as a 3-color LED for 0 to 2,000 ppm range units.
