4. Functionality

The S05-CO2-MSB operates as a wireless CO₂ monitoring node within a ZigBee network. The integrated NDIR sensor detects carbon dioxide concentration by measuring the absorption of infrared light at specific wavelengths corresponding to CO₂ molecules. The sensor’s optical chamber and infrared source are optimized for stability and low drift, ensuring consistent readings over time.

The device periodically measures CO₂ levels and transmits the data wirelessly via ZigBee to a central coordinator, gateway, or Modbus-compatible controller. The Modbus interface allows the sensor to be polled for data or configured remotely. The battery-powered design eliminates the need for wired power connections, making it ideal for distributed sensing in large facilities or outdoor installations.

Use Cases and Applications:
- Building Automation: Integration into HVAC systems for demand-controlled ventilation based on CO₂ concentration.
- Indoor Air Quality Monitoring: Offices, schools, hospitals, and public buildings.
- Agriculture and Greenhouses: Monitoring CO₂ levels to optimize plant growth and photosynthesis.
- Industrial Safety: Detecting elevated CO₂ concentrations in confined spaces or production areas.
- Smart Cities and IoT Networks: Environmental sensing nodes for air quality and climate data collection.

Compatibility:
The sensor is compatible with ZigBee coordinators, gateways, and Modbus-enabled controllers. It can be integrated into existing IoT ecosystems, including cloud-based monitoring platforms and building management systems (BMS).
