PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The FCVC8-R series are intelligent sensors featuring adjustable temperature, 
relative humidity and TVOC / CO

2

eq ranges. Based on this TVOC measurement, 

an equivalent CO

2

 level (CO

2

eq) is calculated. The TVOC concentration is an 

accurate indicator for indoor air quality. Based on the temperature and relative 
humidity measurements, the dew point is calculated. The used algorithm 
controls a single analogue / modulating output based on the measured T, 
rH and TVOC  values, which can be used to directly control an EC fan or an 
actuator powered damper. All parameters are accessible via Modbus RTU.
