CO
2
Using the CO
2
sensor and corresponding calibration curve, the air quality can be mea-
sured. The sensor has a measuring range of up to 5000 ppm (parts per million). The
CO
2
value is a decisive factor for the air quality.

Infrared temperature
Shows the current temperature of the object illuminated by the sensor. The sensor has
a 1:10 optic. This means that at a distance of 1 meter, a measuring area of 16 cm is
created. Info: No shiny or reflective materials can be measured.
7.2 Application range
Within the normal application range (normal range) the accuracy of the device is as
indicated. A long-term application beyond the normal application range (max. range),
particularly at an air humidity of more than 80 %, can lead to higher measuring errors
(+3 % after 60 hours). Back in the normal application range, the sensor will return to
the indicated accuracy automatically.
