CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor DESCRIPTION The CozIR®-LP is a low power NDIR CO2 sensor using state-of-the-art solid-state LED optical technology. The low power LEDs are manufactured in-house, giving GSS complete control of the CO2 sensor signal chain. The CozIR®-LP's low power consumption is compatible with battery powered operation, allowing the sensor to be used in a wide variety of applications including wirelessly connected equipment. The CozIR®-LP operation is configurable depending on user requirements. On power-up, the CozIR®-LP automatically starts taking measurements. Measurements can be streamed or output on request. The CozIR®-LP also features a built-in auto-zero function that maintains CO2 measurement accuracy over the lifetime of the product.

CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Absolute Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Permanent damage to the CozIR®-LP may be caused by continuously operating at or beyond these limits. The CozIR®-LP functional operating limits and guaranteed performance specifications are given at the test conditions specified. ESD Sensitive Device. This sensor uses ESD sensitive components. It is therefore generically susceptible to damage from excessive static voltages. Proper ESD precautions must be taken during handling and storage of this device.

CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor POWER CONSUMPTION Test Conditions Unless Otherwise Specified VDD = 3.3V, GND = 0V. CO2 = 450ppm, RH = 0% non-condensing, T= 25°C, Pressure = 1013mbar SYMBOL TEST CONDITIONS OFF Active, SLEEP mode, no measurement Active, taking measurements Default settings The energy per reading is approximately 25mJ using default settings. Power consumption is strongly dependent on digital filter settings (# of pulses) and the measurement period. ݑװݑװݑװݑװݑװݑװݑװݑװݑװݑ (ׂհݑްݑ) = ްݟϰݟ. ϰݟӰݟӰݟӰݟӰݟӰݟӰݟӰݟ Ӣȗ ݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒϰݒ ϰݒаݒаݒаݒ аݒѰݒѰݒѰݒѰݒѰݒ ѰݒѰݒ ѰݒѰݒѰݒѰݒ ѰݒѰݒѰݒѰݒѰݒѰݒ...

CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor METHOD OF OPERATION The CozIR®-LP is designed for low power applications where power is often at a premium. After power is applied to the CozIR®-LP, the sensor will automatically start to take CO2 measurements using the Mode 1 default settings, where the sensor is pre-programmed to send CO2 measurement data at 2 readings per second. The measurement rate is fixed at 2 readings per second at 9600 baud rate. The sensor will return the previous CO2 measurement results if the user requests more frequent measurements. The CozIR®-LP has 3 potential modes of...

CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor DIGITAL FILTER The CO2 gas chamber is illuminated with a nominal 4.25um wavelength LED and the signal received using a photo-diode. The signal from the photo-diode is processed and filtered by the sensor to remove noise and provide an accurate CO2 reading. High frequency noise coming from the sampling process is removed using a proprietary lowpass filter. The digital filter setting can be varied, allowing the user to reduce measurement noise at the expense of the measurement response time. The ideal digital filter setting is application specific and is...

CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor ZERO POINT SETTING In all cases, the best zero is obtained when the gas concentration is stable, and the sensor is at a stabilised temperature. Zero-point settings are not cumulative and only the latest zero-point setting is effective. For example, there is no benefit in zeroing in nitrogen, and then zeroing in a calibration gas. The sensor will store only the latest zero point regardless of what method is used. There are a several different methods available to the user to set the zero point of the sensor. ZERO IN A KNOWN GAS CONCENTRATION Place the sensor in...

CozIR®-LP Low Power CO2 Sensor ZERO POINT ADJUSTMENT If the CO2 concentration and the sensor reported concentrations are known, the zero point can be adjusted using the known concentration to fine tune the zero point. For example, if the sensor has been in an environment that has been exposed to outside air, and the sensor reading is known at that time, the zero point can be fine-tuned to correct the reading. This is typically used to implement automated zeroing routines. AUTO-ZERO FUNCTION The sensor has a built-in auto-zero function. In order to function correctly, the sensor must be...
