Wiring an outdoor air quality sensor 
Part #33ZCSPTCO2LCD-01 (Display model) 
Part #33ZCSPTCO2-01  (No display) 
 
An outdoor air quality (OAQ) sensor monitors outside air carbon dioxide levels. The RTU Open uses this 
information, in conjunction with a CO
2 
sensor, to adjust the outside air dampers to provide proper ventilation. An 
OAQ sensor is typically duct-mounted in the outside air stream. Duct installation requires an Aspirator Box 
Accessory (Part #33ZCASPCO2). 
The sensor has a range of 0–2000 ppm and a linear 4-20 mA output. The CO
2
 sensor’s power requirements 
exceed what is available at 
 - 1 and 4. Provide a dedicated 24 Vac transformer or DC power supply. 
 
 
 
Wiring specifications 
 
Cable from sensor to controller:  If <100 ft (30.5 meters)        22 AWG, unshielded 
If >100 ft (30.5 meters)        22 AWG, shielded 
Maximum length:  500 feet (152 meters) 
 
 
 
To wire the OAQ sensor to the controller 
1  Wire the sensor to the controller. See appropriate diagram below. 
2  Install a field-supplied dedicated 24 Vac transformer or DC power supply. 
3  Apply power and verify sensor readings.
