User interface

1. Can the sensor display the CO2 level to occupants? If yes describe.

Yes - Sensor displays live CO2 readings on LCD screen.

User interface

2. Can the sensor display a visual indicator to occupants that the CO2 level has exceeded a programmed threshold? If yes, describe (what does the indicator look like, what the default thresholds are, and can the threshold be changed).

Yes - Built-in green LED lights up when CO2 is below the low setpoint (800 ppm by default), built-in red LED lights up when CO2 is above the high setpoint (1100 by default), and built-in yellow LED lights up when CO2 is between the two setpoints. Setpoints are configurable on the device.

Reporting capabilities

3. Can the sensor alert facilities (such as an email, text, or call phone application) when the CO2 level has exceeded a programmed threshold? If yes, describe (what does the indicator look like and can the threshold be changed).

Yes - Sensor has an auditory alarm that sounds when CO2 exceeds the high limit. Alarm can be muted.

Integration capabilities

4. Can the CO2 sensor interface with a building automation system (BAS) or demand control ventilation (DCV) system controller? If yes, describe if integration capabilities are vendor specific.

Integration capabilities

5. If sensor can interface with a BAS or DCV system controller, is additional hardware required?

Reporting capabilities, Integration capabilities

6. How can the CO2 sensor data be logged? If proprietary software, describe (what type of account is needed, what logging intervals are available, what does it look like, and describe its capabilities including data download capabilities).

Logged data unavailable.

Installation

7. Does the sensor require specialized software for installation? If yes, describe.

Installation

8. Does the sensor require specialized training for installation? If yes, describe.

Operation

9. Does the sensor require on-going maintenance? If yes, describe.

Operation

10. Does the sensor require service contracts for ongoing data access? If yes, describe.

Miscellaneous

11. Are there any other notes about the user experience?
