Product Usage Instructions
Installation
- Locate the sensor away from ventilation sources and heat-generating equipment.
- Mount the sensor at light switch height in a vertical orientation.
- Avoid installing the sensor in multi-gang electrical boxes with line voltage or other electrical devices.
Operation
Press the MENU button to cycle between different settings:
- SCL: Scaling options for ppm levels

- SPL: Setpoint Low
- ADJ: Manual calibration adjustment
- CAL: Automatic calibration – ON/OFF
Use the arrow buttons to adjust settings and view current values.
Calibration
The sensor features automatic calibration to track low ambient CO2 levels
and compensate for drift. Field calibration is not necessary but can be done
for compliance purposes:
- Locate calibration instrument and sensor in a controlled environment.
- Compare sensor output to calibration instrument (1V = 200ppm).
FAQ
-
Q: Is field calibration required for the CT1W sensor?
A: Field calibration is not necessary as the sensor comes factory calibrated to controlled test gases. However, provisions for field calibration are provided for compliance purposes. -
Q: How do I lock/unlock the lid of the device?
A: To lock the lid, push in the tabs on the back of the device while applying pressure to keep the lid in place until locks click into place. To unlock, use a small screwdriver in the designated vent to release the lock.

PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITATION:
Senva products are not designed for life or safety applications. Senva
products are not intended for use in critical applications such as nuclear
facilities, human implantable device or life support. Senva is not liable, in
whole or in part, for any claims or damages arising from such uses.
INSTALLATION
-
IMPORTANT! Locate sensor in an area away from ventilation sources and heat generating equipment and appliances. Sensor should be mounted at light switch height in a vertical orientation. Use insulating material behind sensor to ensure reading accuracy.
NOTE : Do not install sensor in multi-gang electrical boxes with line voltage or other electrical devices.
-
Wire sensor as shown above.
-
Set DIP switch positions on (front of device) to accommodate your application. DIP switch 2 only applies to units with transmitter temperature output selected.
-
Apply power to sensor.
OPERATION
Press center MENU button to cycle between:
- SCL Scaling “2” = 2000ppm, “5” = 5000ppm, “10” = 10000ppm
- SPH Setpoint, Hi (Closed above this level)
- SPL Setpoint, Lo (Open below this level)
- ADJ Manual calibration adjustment +/-250ppm
- CAL *Automatic calibration – ON/OFF
The upper arrow and lower arrow will show the current setting and then
adjusted values on consecutive presses.
For No Display, the output is set to 0-2000ppm and ABC is ON *For continuously
occupied areas or greenhouses, it is recommended to turn automatic calibration
to ‘off’.
CT1R-XXX-D (Dual Channel CO2) products will have calibration ‘off’ by default.

FEATURE – LID LOCKS
The CT1W comes standard with locks to keep the lid from being removed, to stop unwanted tampering. There is a Lock located at all 4 lid snaps.
CALIBRATION
Automatic Calibration feature
The sensor will automatically track low ambient CO2 levels and gradually make
adjustments to compensate for sensor drift due to long-term aging of the IR
light source.
Senva CO2 sensors are factory calibrated to controlled test gases. No field
calibration is necessary or recommended. However, to facilitate compliance
with job requirements and commissioning procedures, provisions for field
calibration are provided:
- Locate calibration instrument and sensor in close proximity to each other in a controlled environment free of drafts, peo-ple, and equipment to reduce influence on CO2 and tempera-ture.
- Compare output of sensor to calibration instrument, and note difference. (In 0-10V mode/2000ppm range, 1V =200ppm)
- Using the buttons on front of unit, adjust offset value for CO2 as needed. Factory calibration may be restored by setting offset back to 0.
In extreme cases where the sensor module has been damaged, a new module may be installed in the field. Consult factory for replacement module and instructions.

reading error
| Verify control panel software is configured for correct output scaling.
Verify accuracy of test instrument. Observe installation and calibration
guidelines
Install insulation foam gasket provided to pre- vent thermal conduction from
inside wall.
Perform calibration only if necessary.
