Principle of measurement Molecule like CO2 and CO is composed of different types of atoms, it has absorption spectrum in infrared range. Absorption intensity abides by Lambert-Beer s Law. When light wave corresponded to certain gas with absorption spectrum passes through measured gas, the intensity of light wave will be significantly weakened. The intensity attenuation is related to concentration of measured gas. This relation follows Lambert-Beer s Law. Basic working principle of NDIR sensor is as below, Basic mathematical model:a majority of both organic and inorganic polyatomic gas have specific absorptive wavelength in infrared region. When infrared light passed by, the light transmissivity of this gas molecule to certain wavelength can be expressed by Lambert-Beer Law: Istands for light transmissivity, I=I 0 e -kpl i stands for light absorption intensity, i=i 0 -I= I 0 (1- e -kpl ) I 0 : incident light intensity. l: thickness of gaseous medium p: gas concentration k: absorption coefficient

Calibration Function Description Auto-calibration In the process of use, such as transportation, installation and welding operation may cause NDIR carbon dioxide sensor's drift and reduction of precision, so the sensor through the built-in auto-calibration algorithm to modify the drift. When the accumulative time of the sensor powered-on reaches 7 days, the sensor will record the lowest CO2 concentration data during these 7 days and perform auto-calibration to take this lowest CO2 concentration data as the zero point (400ppm). To ensure the accuracy of the sensor, please make sure the lowest CO2 concentration data during these 7 days could reach to close to outdoor atmospheric level (400ppm). Manual calibration In the process of use, such as transportation, installation and welding operation may cause NDIR carbon dioxide sensor's drift and reduction of precision. To quickly recover the accuracy of the sensor after installation, you can do manual calibration. Before manual calibration, please place the sensor in the environment which has same CO2 concentration level with outdoor atmospheric level (400ppm) and make sure the CO2concentration is stable. When performing manual calibration, pin CA side short circuit grounding for at least 2 seconds, the sensor will activate the calibration procedure after 6 seconds. In addition, the sensor can also activate the calibration procedure through software instruction, please refer to the communication protocol for more details.

Explanation of Working Mode Picture 4: The master-slave working mode (The sensor is the slaver) Note: If the sensor is always powered on, it will start a new 6 seconds working period per every 15 minutes. Average power consumptioncalculation If the sensor works every 15 minutes (900 seconds) by getting power from host and the calculation period plus communication period take 2 seconds. Then, 1. The average power consumption in 6s working period is 18mA 2. The average power consumption in 2s calculation and communication period is 5mA 3. The average power consumption in the rest time is 0.1μA. The average power consumption during 15 minutes period is I avg = (6*18*1000 + 2*5*1000+(900-6-2) *0. 1)/900 = 131μA
