Series CDT and CDTR Wall Mount Carbon Dioxide/
Temperature Transmitter
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Series CDT and CDTR Wall Mount Carbon Dioxide Temperature Transmitters
accurately monitor the CO
concentration and temperature in schools, office buildings,
2
and other indoor environments to help achieve LEED
Series CDTR also measures ambient relative humidity. For increased sensor life,
a single- beam dual-wavelength non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor is used to
automatically correct the measurement in both occupied and unoccupied buildings
against aging effects. The single-beam dual-wavelength sensor technology provides
the highest level of accuracy compared to Automatic Baseline Correction methods,
which can unintentionally shift the calibration based on CO
pressure conditions. In order to achieve a higher level of accuracy, the Series CDT
includes digital barometric pressure adjustment and the ability to field-calibrate the
sensor.
Universal outputs allow users to select the transmitter output to be 4 to 20 mA, 0 to
5 VDC, or 0 to 10 VDC to work with virtually any building management controller. An
optional relay with user adjustable set points can be used to control exhaust fans, open
actuated windows or dampers, or signal a light or horn.
For applications that require visual indication, the Series CDT and CDTR can be ordered
with an integral LCD display or the Model A-449 remote LCD display that can plug into
the mini-connector port on the side of the transmitter. Both the CDT and CDTR can be
configured to display temperature only, CO
The CDTR can also display relative humidity or CO
Push buttons are standard on the transmitters for access to the menu structure, but
the transmitter can be ordered without the buttons. To prevent tampering, the action of
the buttons can be locked out using an internal jumper selection. Menu items that can
be accessed include: engineering units, relay output set points, display configuration,
transmitter output scaling, ambient barometric pressure and field calibration of the
transmitter.
Single-beam dual-wavelength sensor advantages:
• Automatically corrects for aging effects in occupied and unoccupied buildings
◦ Perfect for hospitals and manufacturing plants that are occupied 24 hours per day
• Measures actual unfiltered light intensity directly
◦ Eliminates error from incorrect assumptions of gas concentration in theoretical
logic assumption methods
