Specifications:
  • Target Gas: CO2
  • Measurement Range: 400-5000 ppm
  • Operating Temperature: -10°C to 50°C
  • Operating Humidity: 0-95% RH (non-condensing)
  • Accuracy: ± (50 ppm + 5% of reading)
  • Sampling Frequency: 1 second
  • Power Supply: DC 4.5V-5.5V

  • Weight: 5g

Applications:
  • HVAC industry
  • Indoor Air Quality monitors
  • Air purifiers
  • Automotive applications
  • IoT devices
  • Plant growth monitoring

Working Principle:
The sensor uses infrared light absorption by CO2 molecules to measure concentration, based on Lambert-Beer's Law.

Calibration:
  • Auto Calibration: Adjusts baseline drift by assuming the lowest CO2 concentration over 7 days as 400 ppm.
  • Manual Calibration: Requires exposure to a stable 400 ppm CO2 environment for at least 2 seconds.

PWM and Alarm Output:
  • PWM cycle is 1004 ms, with pulse width proportional to CO2 concentration.
  • Alarm triggers above 1000 ppm and deactivates below 800 ppm.

Installation Guidelines:
  • Maintain a 1.5 mm distance from other components for optimal airflow.
  • Hand soldering is recommended.

Communication Protocols:
  • UART Protocol: Allows reading CO2 levels and adjusting settings.
  • I²C Protocol: Uses standard timing with a clock frequency of 10kHz to 400kHz.

Calibration of CO2 Sensor:
1. Calibration Procedure: Involves sending a command (0x03) to enter calibration status, with data readings adjusted between 400 to 1500 ppm.
2. Software Version and Serial Number Reading: Commands 0x1E and 0x1F are used to read the software version and serial number, respectively.
3. Communication Protocol: Describes the master-slave communication process.
4. Packaging Information: Sensors are packed in trays, with 1080 pieces per carton.
5. Contact Information: Cubic Sensor and Instrument Co., Ltd. can be contacted via phone or email for support.

Note 1: In normal IAQ applications, accuracy is defined after minimum three (3) ABC periods of continuous operation with ABC on. Some industrial applications do require maintenance. Contact Cubic for further information. Note 2: Specification is referenced to certified calibration mixtures. Uncertainty of calibration gas mixtures (±2% currently) is to be added to the specified accuracy for absolute measurement.

Description of Calibration Auto Calibration: Rough installing and influence of transportation might result in reducing of sensor measuring accuracy and baseline drift, sensor will correct the drift by the built-in self-correcting logic. Powering on the sensor for 7 days continuously, it will record the lowest CO2 concentration measurement value during the 7 days, which will be regarded as baseline (400ppm) when sensor do auto calibration after the 7 days working. In order to ensure correct auto calibration, please make sure working environment of the sensor can reach to outdoor fresh air level...

PWM and Alarm Output PWM cycle: 1004ms Positive pulse width: 0-5000: (PPM/5) + 2ms CO2 concentration detection value: 5000ppm range: (PWM Positive pulse width -2) *5 PWM output schema: Alarm Output If the CO2 concentration rises up to more than 1000ppm, the alarming will be triggered and output high level. When the CO2 concentration goes down to below 800ppm, the alarming will stop and output low level. Note Connect the pin of PWM to the oscilloscope. Add a pull-up resistor around 5K-10K between the pin of PWM and power supply.
