ALQ - CO
2
The maintenance-free microprocessor-controlled AERASGARD
®
ALQ-CO
2
is used to
detect the air quality regarding VOC and the CO
2
content in air. This sensor is optionally
available with or without display. Optionally, the CO
2
measuring transducer can be
supplied with switching output.
The CO
2
content of air is determined by a dual beam NDIR sensor (non-dispersive infra red
technology). The detection ranges of these sensors are calibrated for standard applica-
tions such as monitoring of residential rooms or conference rooms. Room ventilation on
an as-needed basis, improvement of well-being and customer benefit, increased comfort
as well as a reduction of operating costs by energy conservation are only some of the
beneficial results of employing AERASGARD
®
ALQ-CO
2
sensors.
The new design implies the alternative to choose between three sensibility ranges
for VOC monitoring by means of DIP switches, comparable to three measuring ranges:
LOW for low, MEDIUM (default) for medium, and HIGH for high VOC sensibility.
Also three measuring ranges were introduced for CO
2
content measurement.
The selection between the measuring ranges 0...2000 ppm (default), 0...5000 ppm, and
0...10000 ppm is likewise enabled via DIP switches.
Above explanations show that applications for CO
2
measurement, applications for
VOC measurement, but from our point of view first of all applications for a combination
of both measurands do exist. Crucial in this respect is that both of these measurands
are not convertible into each other and derivations to or from another cannot be made.
A NDIR CO
2
measuring instrument measures selectively and cannot detect any VOC,
a VOC mixed gas sensor cannot recognize CO
2
molecules.
