CO2 measurement settings

CO2 measurement blind time

When CO2 measurement is started by button press, for the given blind time next start by button press will be forbidden.

This command sets the the measuring blind time in minutes.

Example downlink: 0x810E – when we separate the value of the time from the command code we get 0x0E, which is 14 min.

CO2 boundary levels

Configure the boundary levels of the CO2 zones.

Set the boundary levels.

Example command: 0x1E038405DC – set the Good-medium CO2 zone to 0x3840=900ppm and the Medium-bad CO2 zone to 0x05DC=1500ppm.

CO2 auto-zero value

In practice, you are not supposed to change the auto-zero value, as this would directly affect the internal self-calibration algorithm.

You can get the CO2 auto-zero value in order to check whether normal calibration has worked correctly - e.g. expected values are in the range 0-1500ppm. If you see value of e.g. 20000, please use the SET function to set it back to 400ppm and leave the sensor at fresh air for at least 1.2xMeasurement intervals (if you are using default settings, expose the sensor to fresh air for at least 15 minutes).

This command set is used by the device for CO2 measurements compensation in order to get 400ppm in fresh air.

Set the auto-zero value.

Example command: 0x200221 – Set the CO2 auto-zero value to 0x0221=545ppm.

CO2 measurement period

The commands configures the CO2 measurement period.

Set the measurement period.

Example command: 0x240A0A0A – Set the measurement periods for all 3 zones to be the same 0x0A=10min.

CO2 auto-zero period

Default auto-zero period, after the factory auto-zeroing, is 192 hours (8 days). During this period the lowest measured CO2 value is accepted as 400ppm and the auto-zero value is obtained automatically. If The period is 0, automatic auto-zero function is disabled, but the obtained or set with command auto-zero value is still used internally.

Set the auto-zero period.

Example command: 0x2A48 – Set the CO2 auto-zero period to 0x48=72hrs.
