AQS-KAM-xx, AQS 71-KAM-T, AQS-KAM-RH-V
CO2 TEMPERATURE HUMIDITY TRANSMITTERS
Instruction Manual 
GENERAL
The AQS Temperature Transmitters set new standards in CO2 measurements in HVAC applications. Operation is based on the infrared principle. A calibration-free procedure compensates for aging of the infrared source and ensures outstanding long-term stability. The AQS provide 0…10 V analog output for CO2 and temperature and are designed for HVAC applications (contact Honeywell for special applications). They are suitable for direct wiring with universal and voltagecontrolled inputs. Additionally, the AQS-KAM-xx Temperature Transmitters feature a built-in passive temperature sensor. The AQS-KAM-RH-V Temperature Sensor is equipped with a relative humidity sensor. See also following table.
