Venticator - VC1008FD

Carbon dioxide sensor / transmitter

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Venticator, VC1008FD is a simple, low
cost, state-of-the-art, maintenance-free infrared
carbon dioxide transmitter for installation in the
climate zone or in the ventilation duct.
The VC1008FD measures the carbon dioxide
concentration in the ambient air up to 2,000
ppm and transforms the data into 0-10 V or 4-
20mA output signals and display the
VC1008FD
measurement on a LC Display.
IP20 wall housing
VC1008FD helps you save money by with LC display
decreasing your energy consumption while
maintaining a healthier indoor climate!

FEATURES APPLICATIONS
Using patented state-of-the-art infrared (NDIR) VC1008FD is an extremely cost-effective
wave-guide technology and offers reliable sensor/transmitter for building climate control
measurements and other processes where measurement of
 measurement range: 0 - 2 000 ppm CO2 carbon dioxide concentration is required.
or 0 - 5 000 ppm CO2 By controlling the ventilation based on actual
 analogue outputs (jumper select): demand, it helps to reduce energy consumption
while maintaining a healthy indoor climate!
OUT: 0 - 10 V (= 0 - 2 000 ppm CO2)
or 4 – 20mA (= 0 - 2 000 ppm CO ) The two different housing options and output
2 configurations (current and voltage signal)
 Voltage-free contact pre-set at 800, 1,000 or makes the VC1008FD most suitable for general
8,000ppm (jumper select) applications.
 maintenance-free in normal applications
 non-frill design; cost-optimized for connection
to DDCs
 Two different housing options
1) IP45 wall housing
2) IP65 duct housing

CONNECTIONS
Screw terminals
1 G+ 24 V AC/DC (+)
2 G0 System ground (-)
3 Out Linear output (+) 0-10 V = 0 – 2 000 ppm CO2
4 NO Normally opened contact of relay output
5 COM Common contact of relay output
6 NC Normally closed contact of relay output

Power supply has to be connected to G+ and G0. G0 is considered as

system ground. If the analogue output is connected to a controller the
same ground reference has to be used for the VC1008FD unit and
for the control system
