Indoor Air Quality CO2 Monitor AIRCO2NTROL COACH TFA 31.5009.02

Key Features:

• Checks for Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) concentrations
• Maintenance free NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) CO₂ sensor
• Indoor Air Quality displayed in ppm with Good (0 to 800ppm), Normal (800 to 1200ppm), Poor (>1200ppm) indication
• User programmable Visible and Audible CO₂ warning alarm
• Measurement ranges:
  • CO₂: 0 to 9999ppm
  • Temperature: 23 to 122°F (-5 to 50°C)
  • Humidity: 0.1 to 90%RH

The monitor shows on the display the current CO₂ content of the room air, the temperature, humidity and the time.

Note: The CO2 meter must be connected with DC 5V electrical current to the USB plug continuously, using a computer output or a power supply.

The display’s illumination colour can be used to quickly evaluate and interpret the current CO2 readings. Depending on the setting, the illumination directly signals the current air quality in the traffic light colours (green, orange, red). Alternatively, the red display illumination can be used as an optical signal in the event of an alarm when a certain limit has been exceeded.As a further variant, you can choose a solid colour from seven shades or switch off the illumination completely.

The three smiley icons serve as a comfort-level zone indicator for the measured values of the last 24 hours. If the reading is at the level of the happy smiley, the air quality is ideal to good. In addition, the graph clearly shows the CO2 levels development of the last 24 hours.
The power is supplied via a suitable USB power source (PC, laptop).

The importance of air quality for humans

The CO₂ concentration in indoor areas is deemed to be an essential indicator of suitable air quality. Carbon dioxide is a gas that is poisonous for humans and, depending on the concentration in the air, affects their performance, their well-being and their ability to concentrate. Even when there is a CO₂ concentration as low as 1,000 ppm, most people feel the air is not good and the above-mentioned disorders occur.

Optimal Locations for CO₂ Transmitters

• Avoid locations where people may breathe directly onto the sensor. Also avoid placing sensors close to intake or exhaust ducts, or near windows and doorways.
• In demand controlled ventilation wall-mounted sensors provide more accurate data on ventilation effectiveness than duct-mounted sensors. Duct-mounted sensors are best suited to single-zone systems and should be installed as close to the occupied space as possible to allow for easy maintenance access.
• When measuring CO₂ for the purposes of personnel safety, transmitters should be installed close to potential leakage points to enable early detection. The geometry, ventilation, and airflow of the monitored area need to be taken into account. The number and location of the CO₂ transmitters should be based on a risk assessment.
