Electronic carbon dioxide and
temperature sensor
FUNCTION
KSC is an electronic CO2 and temperature sensor which is used to control the ventilation requirement and heating/cooling of premises. KSC has an integrated display that shows the current CO2 and temperature values.
QUICK FACTS
- CO2 and temperature sensor for airing-cooling-heating
- Also available for duct installation
- Measurement range 0 - 2000 ppm CO2
- Integrated display for CO2 and temperature values
- Has three outputs for various applications
- As an extra option there is a LONTALK® connection for communication with a master system or room regulator
- Is available in a variant with only CO2 and without display

DESIGN
KSC is a carbon dioxide sensor of the IR-type configured for Swegon AB with an analogue 0-10 V DC output signal proportional to the CO2-content between 0-2000 ppm. Changes to the measurement range are possible using a computer connection or integrated push buttons. The sensor also features an integrated thermistor for temperature measuring, whose analogue signal can be combined with the CO2-signal. Normally only the CO2 -signal is used in the e.r.i.c. system. The relay output should only be connected to a 24 V AC supply that closes at C02 > 900 ppm and opens at C02 < 800 ppm.
KSC also has an output for heating via radiators. KSC is avaible in a variant with only CO2 measure, the name is KSC 0. KSC is also available in a variant with LONTALK® communications.
MATERIALS AND SURFACE TREATMENT
Enclosure of light beige plastic.
INSTALLATION (See figure 1)
KSC is ideally installed between 1.5 to 2 m above the floor on an optional non sunlit wall in the room. KSC 2, which is intended for duct installation, is fitted in the exhaust air duct as close to the room as possible.
COMMISSIONING
KSC 1 and 2 have pushbuttons that permit adjustment of the preset set values for temperature and C02 connected to OUT 1, 2 and 4. By using a special cable to connect to a computer running UIP software, all the set values can be adjusted and checked graphically. KSC 0 has fixed set values that cannot be changed.
MAINTENANCE
Dirty products may only be cleaned by wiping or vacuum cleaning. Further maintenance is not generally needed.
DECLARATIONS
The product is CE marked.
CE declaration and Environmental Product Declaration are available from our website.
CONNECTION
KSC is connected to a 24 V AC supply and is fuse protected with max 6 A. All other connections are made according to the wiring diagram for the product that KSC is to be connected to, see KCD, KCW, KRF or VAR. The outputs can be loaded with several actuators under the condition that the resulting load resistance is = 5kW.

Diagrams 1 and 2
Diagrams 1 and 2 show the actual value, the largest signal is the one placed on OUT 1, not valid for KSC 0.
Diagram 3
Diagram 3 shows the CO2 value, in the 0-2000 ppm range, for the output that is normally used in the e.r.i.c. system. For KSC 1 and KSC 2 OUT 2. For KSC 0 OUT 1.
