The CO2 concentrations inside rooms or areas can have an influence on human well-being, as well as on stored products and goods.
It is important to have detailed information available, so you can respond quickly if the values move in the wrong direction. The use of a data logger for CO2 enables CO2 recording to be carried out. The design of data loggers for measuring gas concentrations allows the data to be displayed and analyzed.
If you need a CO2 logger, there are some factors which have an important role to play when it comes to selection:
Detailed display of the values
Data protection, even during power loss
Combination of the measurement of gas, temperature, and humidity
Precise measuring instruments
Easy handling
The CO2 concentration in buildings can have different levels. Various factors play a role here. The concentration can itself have a significant influence on the indoor air quality. An optimization of ventilation behavior is generally required, particularly in rooms where many people are active. Unpleasant odors are an indication that the CO2 concentration is too high. This may lead to headaches and discomfort. A CO2 data logger makes it possible to get an overview of the concentration. This enables a better analysis of where an adjustment of ventilation is still required.
However, it is not only in living and working areas that the concentration of CO2 is a necessary measurement parameter. CO2 data loggers are also used in industrial and agricultural systems. So, a data logger makes for easier system monitoring, because measurement results enable faster adjustment of the ventilation. In some cases, it is necessary not just to carry out a natural air exchange, but to use injections in the form of tracer gas. It is important to use a CO2 data logger to assess when the addition of injections is required.
Analysis of the results should be carried out as regularly as possible. Nevertheless, it is important to be able to respond quickly, especially when measuring CO2 values. A data logger ideally has a visual and acoustic alarm when the standard values are exceeded. You can input the standard values yourself and determine what concentration should not be exceeded.
Another feature is data storage. It may be that the instrument has no power or rechargeable battery connection. It is annoying if data is lost in these circumstances, and it may lead to long-term problems. Integrated data storage, even if there is a power outage, is therefore recommended.
Extreme measuring range
Visual and acoustic alarm
Detailed display of the CO2 concentration
Adjustable log rates
No data loss due to power outage
When it comes to CO2 data loggers, there are instruments which are equipped with Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi Data Loggers have the advantage of making it even easier to monitor values. It is helpful, especially when monitoring several or large areas, that the logger can transmit values via Wi-Fi to another device.
The advantages of a data logger can be summarized as follows:
Long operating time
Easy and fast operation
Generate PDFs for detailed analysis
The CO2 data logger is used in different areas for carbon dioxide recording. The recording itself is particularly important to enable an effective and long-term analysis of the gas values. In some cases, it may be helpful to use a data monitoring system. The system passes the data on to a PC or smartphone. A connection to an acoustic alarm is also possible here.
Regardless of whether it is intended to use the instrument for data measurement in the industrial sector or also in office areas, schools or nursery schools, accurate measurement has various advantages:
Long-term overview of the CO2 exposure
Fast response to incorrect values
Getting gas exposure under control faster
With a testo CO2 Data Logger, you get an instrument featuring easy handling. The professional measurements make it possible to get a detailed overview of the gas exposure.
Combining the data logger for CO2 with additional instruments is also recommended in order to ensure optimum ambient conditions. You can use a data logger for temperature or both temperature and humidity. In some cases, the CO2 measuring instruments are already provided with an additional temperature measurement probe.
If there is also a need to get an overview of the UV values, investing in a UV data logger may be worthwhile. For areas involving movement, such as transport, a shock data logger can also provide important measurement data.
