How do i know if my co2 detector is working

1.Calibrate the sensor

Calibrating the sensor is an important means to determine whether the co2 detector is working properly. Sensor calibration aims to determine whether the sensor’s output signal matches the actual measured value. For specific methods of calibrating the sensor, please refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

2.Replace sensors regularly

The carbon dioxide sensor needs to be replaced regularly to ensure the normal operation of the sensor. The service life of a sensor is usually between 2-5 years, depending on factors such as the sensor’s usage environment and workload.

3.Observe the sensor indicator light

When some carbon dioxide sensors detect indoor air quality, they will be equipped with indicator lights to reflect the working status of the sensor. When the sensor is working properly, the indicator light is usually green. If the indicator light is yellow or red, the sensor needs to be inspected or replaced.

In short, carbon dioxide sensors play a vital role in indoor air quality detection. By understanding the working principle and common problems of carbon dioxide sensors, as well as methods to determine whether the sensor is working properly, you can ensure the accuracy and reliability of monitoring results and provide effective guidance for improving indoor air quality.
