concentrations. The full range is 0-5 V with 8 bit (0-4% of FSD) resolution. To optimize the outputs, it is
possible to set the corresponding concentration ranges.
CO

Analog Outputs
Low
0 - 2,000 ppm

For differential values (both CO
2
and H
2
O), an output of 2.5V corresponds to a 0 differential. Output
values below 2.5V correspond to negative differentials (-) and values above 2.5V correspond to positive
differentials (+).
Examples of Analog Outputs
Example 1.
If:
CO
2
Reference = 356 ppm
Low CO
2
= 0
High CO
2
= 2000
Then:
CO
2
Reference Voltage Output = 356/2000 x 5.0V = 0.89 V.
Example 2.
If:
CO
2
Reference = 356 ppm
Low CO
2
= 300
High CO
2
= 400
Then:
CO
2
Reference Voltage Output = ((356-300)/(400-300)) x 5.0V = 2.8 V.
