The CO2 sensor for demand control
ventilation shall be the 8002W non-dispersive infrared sensor made by
Engelhard Sensor Technologies (805-964-1699). The diffusion gas chamber
in the sensor should incorporate a reflective light pipe or waveguide
surrounded by a gas permeable 10 micron filter of 0.050" thickness
that prevents particulate contamination of the sensor. For long term signal
stability, the sensor shall utilize a dual channel infrared detector,
one channel for CO2 absorption, the other for reference. The
sensor shall incorporate elevation correction adjustment and Time Extended
Measurement Algorithm (TEMA) software for self correction of drift to
better than ±10 ppm per year. The sensor shall have accuracy of ±50 ppm
and repeatability of ±20 ppm. The sensor shall have a five year recommended
calibration interval. All adjustments to the sensor including output scaling,
elevation adjustment, relay setpoint, relay dead-band, linear or exponential
output, and single point calibration shall be made via on-board push buttons
and LCD display. The sensor shall also have the capability for adjustment
via computer connected to an on-board RJ45 jack. For ease of installation,
the sensor shall have a detachable base with all field wiring terminals
on the base. |
