Smart Sensor viaSens now with CO2 sensor

Continuous monitoring of room air quality is becoming the standard way to ensure healthy and pleasant indoor spaces. SAUTER has now provided the Smart Sensor viaSens with a CO2 sensor to complete the mix of sensors for VOC, temperature, humidity, brightness, presence and sound level.

 

With increasing awareness of air quality and energy efficiency, monitoring of carbon dioxide concentrations in indoor areas is taking on a key role. The main strategy for reducing indoor CO2 levels is ventilation with fresh outside air. Mechanical ventilation systems and filtration technologies are another way to reduce CO2 and other harmful air pollutants. These measures are crucial to the health and performance of the people in the rooms.

High-quality solution for integrated room automation

CO2 sensors enable demand-led mechanical ventilation that ensures healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) while preventing overventilation. The Smart Sensor viaSens from SAUTER is a true all-rounder. It combines real-time monitoring of VOC, temperature, humidity, brightness, presence and sound level, and now also CO2 (type FMS117 / FMS197) in a single device. The photoacoustic NDIR measuring method makes the CO2 sensor particularly robust and enables miniaturisation.

The viaSens smart sensor also has an animated LED ring, Bluetooth and MQTT and can be optimally integrated into the SAUTER ecos room automation system. It can be used anywhere and meets all the requirements for a precise measuring system such as long-term and temperature stability, fast measuring and reaction times and long-term reliability.

The app makes it easy to commission the smart sensor and integrate it in the Bluetooth network. Real-time CO2 readings now complement the sensor mix for VOC, temperature, humidity, brightness, presence and sound level.

Guaranteed energy efficiency

Continuous CO2 monitoring in individual rooms is becoming the standard way to ensure healthy and pleasant indoor air. As an added bonus, it also provides economic benefits. With demand-led ventilation, the air quantity can be reduced by 20% and the electric drive power by almost 50%. This leveraging effect means it quickly pays off to equip the automated ventilation system with presence and CO2 sensors. According to VDMA 24773, in various types of building the use of sensors can produce savings of up to 70%.

The Smart Sensor viaSens type FMS117 (node) and FMS197 (IoT gateway) is now available.
