CO2, Temperature, Humidity, and Dew Point Sensor

The ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS from NTI – Your Intelligent All-Round Solution for Precise Environmental Control

In the fast-paced world of IT infrastructure and sensitive production environments, precise air quality monitoring is not a luxury but a necessity. The ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS sensor from NTI revolutionizes how you measure CO₂ concentration, temperature fluctuations, relative humidity, and even dew point in real time – all within one compact, highly accurate device.

With a CO₂ measurement range of 400 to 2,000 ppm based on advanced non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, it provides readings with an accuracy of ±5 percent of the measured value plus 50 ppm at 25°C.

It is complemented by temperature measurements from -10 to +60°C with an accuracy up to ±0.80°C under optimal conditions, and humidity readings from 0 to 100%, deviating only ±6% between 20–60% RH.

Imagine a packed server room where high CO₂ levels due to poor ventilation reduce staff concentration and cause electronics to overheat. The ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS detects this early, triggers alarms, and automatically activates fresh air intake systems – safeguarding both your team’s health and your valuable hardware from costly downtime.

Integrating the ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS into your monitoring system is effortless and unlocks remarkable flexibility. Compatible with NTI’s proven ENVIROMUX models such as the ENVIROMUX-2D (Rev C and later units with dual power inputs), ENVIROMUX-5D, and ENVIROMUX-16D, it connects via a standard RJ45 interface using RS485 communication at a stable 96 kbps data rate.

Operating on just 5 VDC, it’s energy-efficient and ideal for distributed setups. Its digital output ensures robust performance even where electromagnetic interference or long cable distances pose a challenge. Using CAT5/5e/6/6a cables (24 AWG), direct cable runs of up to 15 meters are supported, extendable to 305 meters via the E-RJ8-RS485 Sensor Port Hub, or up to 2 kilometers with ENVIROMUX-FSC Fiber Converter/Extenders.

A real-world example: In a pharmaceutical warehouse where dew point monitoring is vital to prevent condensation on sensitive products, the sensor detects humidity increases during temperature drops. When the dew point is reached, it triggers alerts that automatically adjust HVAC systems – preventing product spoilage worth tens of thousands of euros, often paying for itself within months.

The ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS goes beyond measurement, becoming a vital strategic component in your safety and operations infrastructure. It not only monitors key environmental parameters but also dynamically calculates dew point, crucial in climate-sensitive sites like data centers and laboratories. Its high measurement accuracy of approximately ±1.50°C across the full temperature range and ±9% under extreme humidity ensures reliable data, enabling real-time alerts via email, SMS, or SNMP through NTI’s monitoring software.

CE and RoHS certifications confirm compliance with stringent EU standards for electrical safety and environmental sustainability. Consider a modern call center: high CO₂ levels (1,500 ppm) from occupancy cause fatigue and loss of productivity. The sensor detects this, activates ventilation systems, and logs data for compliance – improving comfort and aligning operations with standards such as DIN EN ISO 7730 for indoor climate quality. With this sensor, you transform passive monitoring into proactive control, reduce risks, and optimize long-term operational efficiency.

Applications: Real-World Uses of the ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS

The ENVIROMUX-CO₂-THS is perfectly suited for a wide range of environments where air quality and climate precision are critical. Below are selected examples that highlight its real-world value:

• Server and data centers: Monitors CO₂ for optimal ventilation and temperature/humidity stabilization. Example: At 1,800 ppm CO₂ and 28°C, the sensor activates cooling – downtime reduced from hours to minutes, saving major revenue losses.
• Office and meeting rooms: Improves comfort through active CO₂ management. Example: In an open-plan office, CO₂ rises to 1,200 ppm; the alert triggers ventilation – productivity up 15%, sick days down.
• Laboratories and research facilities: Dew point accuracy protects sensitive experiments. Example: In a biotech lab, dew point alert prevents condensation – preserving samples worth €20,000.
• Warehouses and archives: Controls humidity to prevent mold. Example: In an archive with 70% RH, the sensor activates dehumidifiers – documents preserved, insurance costs reduced.
• Production environments: Ensures safe CO₂ levels. Example: At 1,600 ppm on an assembly line, ventilation activates – risk of accidents halved, OHSAS 18001 compliance met.
• Green buildings and smart homes: Integrates into IoT systems for energy-efficient climate control. Example: Smart-home HVAC adjusts heating based on dew point – energy costs reduced by 20%.
