CO2 Engine ELG
Sensor module for environment parameters logging
CO2 Engine ELG NDIR CO2 Sensor Module General
This document describes a family of sensor modules CO2 Engine ELG designed to measure and store records of environmental parameters such as
- Temperature
- Relative Humidity
- CO2 concentration (up to 5000ppm range).
The sensor module CO2 Engine ELG is designed for battery powered operation with low average power consumption without compromising measurement precision and resolution.
Virtual RTC (Real Time Clock) allows data and events logging with time stamps.
Events include sensor power on, logging start/stop, ABC self calibration, user initiated zero and background calibrations.
Reading of logger via I2C connector and SenseAirs I2C - USB bridge (SADK).
I2C or UART communication can be used to read logged data for built in modules.
CO2 Engine ELGNDIR CO2 Sensor Module Applications
This platform is designed to be an OEM module for built-in applications in a host apparatus and suits low power applications.
