This document describes the JXBS-3001-CO2 Carbon Dioxide Transmitter, a sensor device designed for measuring carbon dioxide concentration, and in some configurations, also temperature and humidity.
Function Description:
The JXBS-3001-CO2 is a carbon dioxide sensor that utilizes a specialized CO2 concentration sensor probe as its core detecting device. It is designed for various applications requiring accurate CO2 measurement. The device communicates via RS485 using the Modbus RTU protocol, allowing for integration into existing control systems like PLCs or MCUs, or direct connection to a PC for monitoring and configuration. Some models of the sensor also include capabilities for measuring temperature and humidity.
The sensor is built with a polymer gas membrane over its detection hole. This membrane is breathable and impermeable, allowing gas permeation while insulating against moisture. Users are explicitly warned not to tear this membrane as it affects the product's life and performance.
