• Proven Accuracy: Features an accuracy of +/- 45 ppm plus 3% of reading, ensuring reliable data for safety and regulatory compliance.
• Dynamic Data Reporting: Provides both instantaneous CO2 levels and an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA), enabling comprehensive CO2 monitoring.
• Configurable Alerts: Set thresholds for critical condition monitoring, allowing for immediate action to maintain safe air quality levels.
• Auto-Calibration: Includes a configurable auto-calibration function to ensure the sensor remains accurate over time without manual adjustments.

Principles of Operation:

The ioX Wireless Carbon Dioxide Sensor utilizes a state-of-the-art non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensing element to measure CO2 concentrations in ambient air. This technology allows for precise and continuous tracking of CO2 levels, crucial for applications requiring strict air quality control.

Data from the sensor is reported at intervals set by the user, known as the Heartbeat, ensuring that all readings are up-to-date and reflective of current conditions. The sensor also compiles an 8-hour TWA by averaging eight hours of instantaneous readings, providing a robust picture of air quality over time. This feature is particularly beneficial for monitoring environments like greenhouses, schools, office buildings, and anywhere that air quality impacts health and productivity.

Every measurement recorded by the sensor is transmitted to the gateway and integrated into the ioX-Connect platform, where it can be accessed for analysis and reporting. This integration supports proactive management of air quality, helping facility managers and health professionals ensure environments are safe and compliant with health standards.

Wireless Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) Sensor: Critical Safety Monitoring in Hazardous Environments

Key Features:

• Precise Measurement Capabilities: Monitors both instantaneous and time-weighted average (TWA) levels of H2S gas, essential for tracking this toxic compound in high-risk areas.
• Extensive Measurement Range: Effectively measures H2S concentrations from 0 to 50 ppm, suitable for industrial safety applications.
• High Resolution: Delivers detailed readings with a resolution of 0.1 ppm, allowing for precise detection of H2S gas levels.
• Accurate and Reliable: Ensures accuracy of ± (5% of reading + 2 ppm), vital for maintaining safety standards.
• Rapid Response Time: Achieves a response time of 200 seconds to reach 63% of actual H2S levels, facilitating timely safety measures.
• Configurable Alerts: Enables critical condition monitoring with customizable thresholds, alerting personnel to dangerous conditions before they become critical.

Principles of Operation:

The ioX Wireless Hydrogen Sulfide Sensor uses an advanced electrochemical transducer for real-time detection of H2S, a hazardous gas commonly found in petroleum drilling and sewage treatment environments. It measures H2S levels every five seconds, ensuring up-to-date and accurate gas monitoring.

Temperature compensation is integral to the sensor's operation, as temperature fluctuations can affect H2S readings. The sensor adjusts the H2S measurement based on the current temperature, which is measured using a precision thermistor and resistor setup to produce a voltage that reflects the ambient temperature. These measurements are converted into digital values and reported alongside H2S levels in every user-defined Heartbeat, as well as when predetermined thresholds are exceeded.

The sensor also recalculates the TWA for H2S every 15 minutes to provide a consistent overview of exposure levels over time. If the sensor has been active for less than 7.5 hours, it calculates the TWA based on the total runtime, ensuring all reports are reflective of the actual conditions.

All data collected by the sensor is transmitted to the gateway and made available on the ioX-Connect platform for thorough analysis and reporting. This capability supports proactive management of H2S hazards, helping to safeguard workers and maintain operational safety in potentially dangerous environments.
