Siemens QPA20 Series Room Air Quality Sensors

The QPA20… series room air quality sensors optimize room comfort by enabling demand-controlled ventilation. The sensors can acquire: CO2 and volatile organic compound (VOC) concentrations, relative humidity, and temperature. Models are available for CO2, CO2/VOC, CO2/T, and CO2/T/RH.

The sensor evaluates the CO2/VOC concentrations and transforms it to a 0 to 10 Vdc linear proportional output signal.

For models with humidity, a capacitive humidity sensing element changes capacitance as a function of the relative humidity. An electronic measuring circuit converts the humidity signal to a continuous 0 to 10 Vdc signal that corresponds to a relative humidity range of 0 to 100%. For models with temperature, the sensor acquires room temperature with a sensing element that changes electrical resistance as a function of the temperature. The resistance is converted to an active 0 to 10 Vdc output signal that corresponds to a temperature range of 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) or -31°F to 95°F (-35°C to 35°C).

Sensors with an LCD window display the following measured values:
  • CO2 in ppm
  • CO2 and VOC as a bar chart (4 bars ≈ 2V, 20 bars ≈ 10V)
  • Temperature in °C or °F
  • Relative humidity in %
The wall-mounted sensors are suited for use with all systems and devices capable of acquiring and handling a 0 to 10 Vdc output signal.

Features:
  • Multisensor for CO2/VOC, temperature, and humidity-temperature
  • Maintenance-free infrared CO2sensing element, VOC sensing element based on a heated tin dioxide semiconductor
  • 24 Vac operating voltage, 0 to 10 Vdc output signals
