FAQ's of Prana Air Carbon Dioxide CO2 Sensor NDIR 1 PPM Resolution:
Q: How does the Prana Air CO2 sensor work?
A: The Prana Air CO2 sensor utilizes NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) technology, which measures the concentration of carbon dioxide by detecting how much infrared light is absorbed by CO2 molecules in the air. This method ensures high-precision and reliable readings with a 1 PPM resolution.
Q: What environments are suitable for installing this CO2 sensor?
A: The sensor can be used in a variety of indoor environments such as offices, laboratories, HVAC systems, and industrial settings. However, as it is not waterproof (IP rating: Not waterproof), it should be installed away from direct contact with moisture or water.
Q: When should I consider using an NDIR CO2 sensor?
A: NDIR CO2 sensors are ideal when accurate and stable carbon dioxide monitoring is required, such as in building automation, air quality monitoring, or specialized industrial applications. Consider using this sensor when you need frequent and precise CO2 measurements.
Q: Where is this sensor manufactured and distributed from?
A: This Prana Air CO2 sensor is manufactured, distributed, exported, and supplied from Taiwan, ensuring global reach and support for international customers.
Q: What is the installation process for the sensor?
A: To install the sensor, connect it to a compatible power source within the 5-12V range (rated voltage: 3.3V), and interface its analog output (0-5V) with your monitoring or control system. Secure the small-sized sensor at a location away from direct moisture for best performance.
Q: How is the sensor used in practice?
A: Once installed, the CO2 sensor continuously monitors carbon dioxide levels, outputting an analog signal between 0-5V that corresponds to the measured CO2 concentration. This data can be used by HVAC systems or monitoring devices to regulate indoor air quality or trigger ventilation controls.
Q: What are the benefits of using this CO2 sensor?
A: Benefits include high accuracy with 1 PPM resolution, a broad operating temperature range, easy electrical integration, and reliable analog output. Its compact design and 1-year warranty make it a dependable choice for long-term indoor air quality management.
