KANKANAL CO₂ Sensor

Industrial-grade CO₂, temperature, humidity and pressure sensor with long-range wireless connectivity for smart buildings, agriculture and environmental monitoring.

Product Overview

The KANKANAL CO₂ Sensor is a rugged, long-range air quality node that measures carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity and barometric pressure in a single device. Designed for smart buildings, warehouses, agriculture and parking structures, it delivers accurate environmental data over low-power wireless networks to DeviceBoard or your preferred IoT platform for real-time monitoring and control.

1. High-Accuracy CO₂ Sensing

  • NDIR-based CO₂ sensor for stable, long-term measurements.
  • Measurement range from 400 to 5000 ppm, suitable for indoor air quality and confined spaces.
  • High accuracy and 1 ppm resolution for precise ventilation and safety decisions.
  • Ideal for monitoring CO₂ build-up in offices, schools, greenhouses, warehouses and basements.

2. Temperature, Humidity & Pressure Monitoring

  • Integrated temperature sensor for HVAC optimisation and comfort analytics.
  • Humidity sensor to detect damp conditions, condensation risks or crop stress.
  • Barometric pressure sensor supporting weather trend and environmental analysis.
  • Combining all four measurements enables rich indoor air quality and climate control strategies.

3. Long-Range Wireless Connectivity

  • Built on low-power, long-range wireless technology suitable for campus and city-wide deployments.
  • Internal high-sensitivity antenna for deep indoor and remote coverage.
  • Optimised for low bandwidth telemetry with secure, reliable data delivery.
  • Fits seamlessly into existing KANKANAL LoRaWAN Gateway and DeviceBoard architectures.

4. Ultra-Long Battery Life & Data Reliability

  • Powered by a large internal battery pack designed for up to 10 years of operation under typical reporting intervals.
  • Onboard data logger stores many measurements locally to prevent data loss during temporary network outages.
  • Automatic retransmission of buffered data once connectivity is restored.
  • Configurable reporting and threshold-based event pushing to balance responsiveness and power usage.

5. Rugged, Outdoor-Ready Design

  • IP65-rated housing protects against dust and water spray for indoor or sheltered outdoor use.
  • Wide operating temperature range from –30°C to +70°C and high humidity tolerance.
  • Durable ABS+PC enclosure suitable for industrial, agricultural and commercial environments.
  • Flexible mounting options: wall, pole or bracket for quick installation.

6. Easy Configuration & Platform Integration

  • Supports NFC or wired commissioning for quick setup in the field.
  • Integrates with DeviceBoard for dashboards, alerts, rule flows and long-term analytics.
  • Open payload format for linking into third-party IoT platforms, BMS or ERP systems.
  • Threshold-based alerts can trigger ventilation, alarms or building automation actions.

7. Typical Use Cases

  • Smart buildings – CO₂-based demand-controlled ventilation and indoor air quality dashboards.
  • Schools & offices – monitoring classroom and meeting-room CO₂ levels for comfort and productivity.
  • Greenhouses & agriculture – optimising CO₂ concentration for plant growth.
  • Warehouses & cold rooms – safety monitoring and ventilation control.
  • Parking basements – CO₂-driven fan control combined with other gas sensors.

8. Key Advantages

  • Four sensors in one – CO₂, temperature, humidity and pressure.
  • Low maintenance thanks to long battery life and robust design.
  • Easy deployment with wireless connectivity and flexible mounting.
  • End-to-end integration with KANKANAL gateways and DeviceBoard analytics.
  • Scalable solution for single buildings or large multi-site networks.
