CO2 sensor
Carrier Sensors 29
Part #33ZCSENCO2
Wall-mount or duct-mount
Duct installation requires an Aspirator Box (Part #33ZCASPCO2) to house the CO
2
sensor.
A CO
2
sensor monitors carbon dioxide levels. As CO
2
levels increase, the controller adjusts the outside air
dampers to increase ventilation and improve indoor air quality.

NOTES
• The sensor has a 4–20 mA output that is converted to 0–5 Vdc by a 250 Ohm, 1/4 watt, 2% tolerance
resistor connected across the zone controller's CO
2
input terminals.
• Do not use a relative humidity sensor and CO
2
sensor on the same zone controller.
