Indoor Air Quality Duct
Sensors
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Description
The QPM Series Indoor Air Quality Duct Sensors are designed for applications where
precise, stable carbon dioxide or air quality sensing is required.
Several models are available with either CO
2
only, or with Volatile Organic Compounds
(VOC) (also known as mixed gas), relative humidity and/or temperature sensing. All
units deliver a voltage or current signal for all outputs and have a CO
2
measuring range
of 0 to 2000 ppm.
Features
Maintenance-free, Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) CO
2
sensing element is ideal for
use in spaces that are occupied 24/7.
Combination units enable a single sensor to take the place of up to three individual
sensors.
No recalibration required.
24 Vac or 15 to 35 Vdc operating voltage
0 to 10 Vdc, 0 to 5 Vdc, or 4 to 20 mA signal outputs (field selectable)
Application
For use in air ducts of ventilation and air conditioning applications to enhance room
comfort and to optimize energy consumption by providing demand-controlled
ventilation. The sensor acquires:
CO
2
concentrations as an indication of occupancy in rooms where smoking is
prohibited.
VOC concentrations as an indication of odors in the duct air, such as tobacco
smoke, body odor, or material fumes.
The relative humidity of the duct air.
The duct air temperature.
QPM2102 models measure both CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOC) for
optimized indoor air quality. A single 0 to 10V, 0 to 5V, or 4 to 20 mA (selectable)
output signal is automatically adjusted to reflect the higher of the two values. This
enables the combination CO2 + VOC sensor to be easily substituted for a CO2 sensor
in any demand control ventilation control system.
The QPM21 Series Sensors can be used as:
Control sensors in the supply or exhaust air duct.
Transmitters for building automation and control systems and/or display units.
