DXC120

Product catalog summary
Overview: The DXC120 is a compact USB-connected gas sensor designed for monitoring indoor carbon dioxide (CO2) levels. It utilizes an advanced NDIR CO2 sensor to provide accurate gas level readings over many years. The device is suitable for environments such as homes, workplaces, and other areas with moderate ambient conditions.
Specifications:
  • CO2 Detection Range: 400 to 10,000 ppm
  • Accuracy: ±(30 ppm + 3%)
  • ADC Resolution: 24 bits
  • Sensor Lifetime: 15 years
  • Temperature Stability: 2.5 ppm/°C
  • Response Time: 25 seconds to reach 63% of a step change
  • Power Supply: 5V via USB, with a current consumption of approximately 30 mA
  • Operating Temperature: 0 to 50°C
  • Operating Humidity: 10 to 90% RH (non-condensing)
  • Material: ABS plastic with an IP rating of 51
Applications: The DXC120 is versatile and can be used in various applications including research and development, robotics, home air quality monitoring, OEM integration, server rooms, building automation, workplaces, public spaces, transport stations, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and engineering.
Installation and Usage: The sensor can be installed in less than 3 minutes and comes with a unique serial number for traceability. It includes free DAQ software for real-time data visualization and logging, and command-line tools for data integration. The sensor should not be installed directly on flat surfaces or near EMI sources, and it is recommended to use a USB extension cable to avoid heat interference from computers.
Warnings and Tips:
  • The sensor is not waterproof and should be protected from water exposure.
  • It should not be used in human applications.
  • Electromagnetic interference can affect sensor precision.
  • For optimal performance, install the sensor vertically on a wall with the USB cable facing downward.
Ordering Information: The product is available in two options: USB-DXC120 and VCP-DXC120, with the latter supporting Virtual COM Port communication protocol.
