Overview 

 

The ASENSE Duct series with IP65 Rated Enclosure monitors the carbon dioxide (CO2) levels 
in industrial, commercial, school, and office type environments. The concentration of CO2 is a 
strong indication of the overall indoor air quality. The ASENSE Series is based on a single beam 
non-dispersive infrared technology and is a cost-optimized solution for the climate control of 
buildings and other processes. In addition, ABC software eliminates the need for manual 
calibration. The ASENSE Series measures the CO2 concentration in the ambient air up to 2,000 
ppm and converts the data into an analog output. This data can be used in conjunction with a 
Building Automation or Demand Control Ventilation System to create a healthier indoor climate. 
This series features an analog temperature output (32 to 122°F) and come with combined 
output options of 0-10 VDC and 0 to 20 mA (4 to 20 mA and 2-10 VDC are field selectable via 
an onboard jumper) or 0-

5 VDC for “-5” versions. A relay option is available for this series as 

well. The UIP5 software and programming cable offer a configuration/test utility and provide 
access to the main features of the ASENSE series.
