COMET T8448 CO₂ and Temperature Transmitter RS485

COMET T8448 CO2 and Temperature Transmitter RS485

The COMET T8448 is a smart and elegant CO2 and temperature transmitter designed for modern building automation and demand-controlled ventilation. Equipped with a high-quality NDIR CO2 sensor, it measures carbon dioxide concentration with exceptional reliability from 0 to 5000 ppm and displays indoor air quality instantly via a large 3-color LED indicator: Green = good (up to 1000 ppm), Yellow = moderate (1001–1200 ppm), Red = poor (above 1201 ppm). You can see immediately when ventilation is required.

In addition to CO2, the T8448 also measures room temperature from –10 to +50 °C – ideal for complete indoor climate monitoring. The large dual-line LCD provides a clear display of both values and can be completely switched off to save power or maintain a discreet appearance. Installation takes only minutes: the unit fits directly onto a standard KU68 flush-mount junction box, just like a light switch.

Through its RS485 interface with Modbus RTU protocol (other protocols available on request), the T8448 integrates seamlessly into any building management system, ventilation control, or SCADA network. Whether in schools, kindergartens, offices, meeting rooms, gyms, or medical practices – the T8448 ensures healthy indoor air while saving energy through demand-based ventilation.

The maintenance-free NDIR sensor with automatic calibration guarantees long-term stability and accuracy – even in normal indoor environments without aggressive gases. The elegant, unobtrusive light-grey design blends perfectly with modern interiors.

Why the COMET T8448 is the No. 1 choice for CO2 monitoring:
