Use of CO2 sensor
- Indoor air quality sensor
- Sensors used in industry to control and maintain safety conditions
- Safety during plant and animal breeding processes, in agriculture
Security
- The sensor should be calibrated regularly, every 6 months at the most
- During calibration, first warm up the sensor for about 5 minutes and check that it is in the open air.
- Do not use the sensor for a long time in a dirty and dusty environment
- It is forbidden to cut or destroy the sensor
- Use a sensor with the correct power supply
