Overview 

 

The Carrier Carbon Dioxide Room Series Sensor with Temperature, Setpoint, and Override monitors the 
carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in commercial, school, and office-type environments. The concentration of 
CO2 is a strong indication of the overall indoor air quality. The NSA-HH/CO2-R2 Series is based on a 
single beam, non-dispersive infrared technology and is a cost-efficient solution for measuring carbon 
dioxide levels for building climate control. In addition, ABC software eliminates the need for manual 
calibration. Carbon Dioxide concentration is measured up to 2,000 ppm and is converted into 
proportional analog outputs. The factory default output is 4-20 mA, whereas 0-5 VDC and 0-10 VDC 
outputs are field selectable via integral dip switches. Thermistor temperature outputs, along with setpoint 
and override, are available as options for this configuration as well. The NSA-HH/CO2-R2 Series 
provides data which can be used in conjunction with a Building Automation System or Demand Control 
Ventilation to decrease energy consumption while creating a healthier indoor climate. 

Applications

: Schools, Office Buildings, Auditoriums, Gymnasiums, Shopping Malls, Theatres, Demand Control
