Introduction

The AirSense Model 

I-

310e is a non-dispersive infrared 

analyzer for measuring environmental CO2 concentration in 

ventilation systems and indoor living spaces.  Its 

measurement range of 0 - 5000 ppm (parts per million;  1000 

ppm = 0.1%) covers the range required to monitor 

compliance with ASHRAE or other ventilation efficiency 

standards.
Packaged in a compact, distinctively styled enclosure, the 

Model

I-

310e can be discreetly installed anywhere from the 

board room to the boiler room.  Standard center wiring 

access and fully floating outputs make installation a snap. 
The Model

I-

310e provides several output alternatives.  A 

voltage or 4 - 20 mA current output is standard.  An optional 

LCD readout is available.  An optional relay contact can be

configured to open or close above a user-adjustable setpoint.
Terminals for connection to an optional thermistor are 

available.  With the correct thermistor installed A direct 

temperature input can be provided to the controller. 
A simple one-point calibration procedure and a built-in

calibration port that requires no special fittings or adapters 

make the Model 

I-

310e simple to maintain.

Displays and Indicators

The basic Model 

I-

310e has a single green LED on the front

panel which illuminates whenever the unit is operating.  This 

LED is on steadily when the measured concentration is 

below the high CO

2

 limit, and blinks whenever the 

concentration is above the limit.   
The standard factory high limit is 1000 ppm, but can be 

easily adjusted in the field.  The procedure for adjusting the 

high CO

2

 limit is described on page 11.

The display option adds a 4 digit liquid crystal display 

(LCD) to the front panel.  The display shows the measured 

CO2 concentration in parts per million (ppm).  1000 parts 

per million equals 0.1%.
