Responding to customer request, we have added an ambient Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Sensor for use with the Weather MicroServer. This new feature was implemented specifically for an Apple data center via customer Siemens Building Technologies . The CO2 sensor uses an infrared light source to measure ppm-level carbon dioxide. The sensor is configured for analog output.The sensor is installed in a self-aspirating radiation shield to protect it from the effects of solar radiation. The sensor should be installed in a location that represents ambient atmospheric CO2 levels. GO TO WEATHER MICROSERVER, CLICK ON ADDITIONAL SENSORS SEE OTHER DATA CENTERS APPLICATION PAGE
