SRC-C1T1 - Indoor CO2+Temperature Transmitter 

The SRC-C1T1 is an indoor CO2 monitoring and temperature measuring 

transmitter. Three LEDs in the colors green, orange and red indicate the CO2 

concentration of the room air. This shows the user when to ventilate. The device 

has two analog outputs and one relay output. The CO2 background calibration of 

the SRC-C1T1 guarantees for accurate room air monitoring. 

Features 

 

Indoor CO2 and temperature measurement

Applications 

 

Indoor CO2 and temperature measurement 

(home, office, school, restaurant, greenhouse, …)

 

 

Recording of minimum and maximum CO2 and temperature limits for critical environments 

 

Direct control of extraction fan 

CO2 transmitter 

The CO2 concentration is measured through non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) waveguide technology with ABC automatic 

background calibration algorithm. The applied measuring technology guarantees excellent reliability and long-term 

stability. The microprocessor samples the CO2 once per second. It calculates an averaging signal over a preset number of 

samples and generates the output signal. 

The analog output signal range may be customized by jumpers and if required by a programming module. Standard signal 

ranges are 0

10 VDC and 2

10 VDC. Other ranges can be defined by using the external display and programming 

module (OPA-S). 

 

For OPA-

S usage see section 

Parameter configuration

 on pag

5. 

Automatic baseline calibration (ABC) 

The ABC background calibration constantly supervises the measured CO2 concentrations. The calibration function expects 

the CO2 values sink to 400 ppm when the room is not occupied. Over a period of several days the controller tries to reach 

this value step by step through recalibration of 30ppm per day max. In order to reach the given accuracy, it is required 

that the sensor is for at least 3 weeks in operation. 

 

NOTE: The ABC calibration works only in those applications where the CO2 concentration sinks regularly to fresh air 

levels of 400 ppm. For special applications such as green houses, animal farms, etc. the ABC calibration should be 

de-activated and the sensor should be manually calibrated. The automatic calibration can deactivate through the 

external operation terminal. The Sensor can be calibrated by the client and does not need to be sent in for 

calibration. 

For manual calibration see section 

Calibration

 on page 8. 

Temperature transmitter 

The temperature is measured with a precision sensing element. The microprocessor samples the temperature once per 

second. It calculates an averaging signal over a preset number of samples and generates an analog output signal based 

on a lower and an upper signal range value. Standard range is -

40…60°C (

-

40…140°F) and 10 seconds average. The 

measuring range and the averaging samples may be customized with the external display and programming module 

(OPA-S). 
The analog output signal range may be selected by jumpers and if required by a programming module. Standard signal 

ranges are: 0…10 VDC and 2…10 VDC. Other ranges can be defined by 

using the external display and programming 

module (OPA-S).
