Use

Sensors acquire the following values in ventilation and air conditioning plants:

• Temperature
• Relative humidity
• CO2 concentrations

Wireless communication KNX IoT over Thread exchanges sensor data with controllers, tools or the cloud over a wireless Thread network.

Functions

Relative humidity
The sensor acquires relative humidity via a digital capacitive relative humidity sensor with bandgap temperature sensor.
The electronic measuring circuit converts the sensor element’s humidity signal to a wireless digital signal (0…10000), corresponding to a relative humidity range of 0…100 %.

Temperature
The sensor acquires the temperature via a digital humidity and temperature sensor.
The temperature signal from sensing element is converted to wireless digital signal (0…10000), corresponding to a temperature range of 0…50 °C.

CO2 concentration
The SymaroTM air quality sensor acquires the CO2 concentration by infrared absorption measurement (NDIR).
The resulting wireless digital output signal (0…5000) is proportional to the CO2 content of the ambient air, corresponding to a CO2 concentration range of 0…5000 ppm.

Mechanical design
Thread room sensors are designed for wall mounting, flush mounting and tape mounting. They are suitable for use with most commercially available recessed conduit boxes.

The device has 2 parts:

• Plastic housing with electronic components
• Mounting plate

Notes

Safety

  CAUTION

**| National safety regulations**

Failure to comply with national safety regulations may result in personal injury and property damage.

• Observe national provisions and comply with the appropriate safety regulations.

  WARNING

| Explosion due to fire or short-circuit, even with discharged batteries

Risk of injury due to flying parts

• Prevent the batteries from coming in contact with water.
• Do not recharge batteries.
• Do not damage or disassemble batteries.
• Do not heat batteries over 85 °C.

  WARNING

| Risk of explosion
Personal injury and property damage

•  Install the battery at the correct polarity (+/-) using the illustration in the battery compartment.
• Install only the correct battery types according to the indication in the battery compartment.
• In case of a leakage, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes.
• Remove leaking battery from the battery compartment with a cloth.

Observe the following:

• The batteries must be new and undamaged.
• Do not mix new and used batteries.
• Store, transport and dispose of the batteries in compliance with local requirements, regulations and laws and observe the instructions of the battery manufacturer.

NOTICE

❗

| Radio frequency energy

Interference to radio communications

• Install and use equipment in accordance with installation guide.
• Read all regulatory compliance information.

Mounting

Location

• The device is designed for wall mounting, flush mounting and tape mounting.
• Inside wall (not an outside wall!) of the room; not in recesses, behind curtains, above or close to heat sources or shelves and not on walls where a chimney is located. Do not expose the unit to spot lights or direct sunlight.
• Install the sensor in the occupied space about 1.5 m above the floor and at least 20 cm from the next wall.
• Seal the end of the conduit at the sensor to prevent false measurements caused by draughts through the conduit.

Mounting instructions
Mounting instructions are enclosed in the package.

Chemical vapors
The humidity sensor is a sensitive measuring device and must be handled with care. Chemical vapors at high concentration in combination with long exposure times may distort the sensor reading.

NOTICE

❗

| Avoid direct contact with chemicals in any form. Do not touch sensitive components with bare hands or tools as this will negatively impact measurement accuracy.

Colors and patterns
