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 CO2 concentration and temperature in schools, office buildings, and  other indoor environments to help achieve LEED® certification. Additionally, the Series CDTR also measures ambient relative humidity. In order to achieve a higher level of accuracy, the Series CDT includes digital barometric pressure adjustment.
Universal outputs allow users to select the transmitter output to be 4-20 mA, 0-5 VDC, or 0-10 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, Model A-449 or Model A-449A 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, CO2 only, or CO2 and temperature together. The Series CDTR can also display relative humidity or CO2 and relative humidity together. Push buttons are standard on the transmitters for access to the menu structure in models with displays. To prevent tampering, the action of the buttons can be locked out using an internal dip switch 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.
The Series CDT and CDTR CO2 transmitters are available with a -S option that provides the necessary attributes and parameters to be e with DSA requirements for monitoring CO2 levels in schools. There is a front facing LED that illuminates when the CO2 level exceeds 1100 PPM.
Automated CO2 Baseline Correction (ABC) 
The Series CDT and CDTR CO2 transmitters are maintenance free instruments with the ability to adjust the CO2 calibration by using the on-board ABC logic for intermittently occupied spaces. The ABC algorithm accounts for long term drift by making small adjustments to it’s zero calibration point based on the lowest CO2 readings it measures. CO2 calibration adjustments are made every eight days by the ABC algorithm. For environments occupied 24 hours per day it is recommended to periodically expose the CO2 sensor to outside ambient air.
