OVERVIEW
The TA-A8041-D and TA-8042-D CO2 sensors are designed to be mounted through the side of a duct or plenum.
The sensor is typically mounted in the return air duct or plenum near or at the air handler prior to the introduction of outdoor air.
When combined with a GreenTrol outdoor air controller, this CO2 sensor can be used to improve traditional CO2 demand control ventilation by using a unique control algorithm that resets the outdoor air setpoint between user defined upper and lower airflow limits (not damper positions) to maintain the space CO2 level. This control method eliminates the under- and overventilation that is prevalent with traditional CO2-DCV.
An even more advanced control method uses the measured airflow rate and CO2 level to estimate the population and calculates the required outdoor airflow, thus meeting the actual requirements of ASHRAE Standard 62.1.
ABC logic ensures years of calibration free operation in applications where the population goes to near zero during unoccupied periods.
