Hazard information
Do not open the device: it does not contain any
components that need to be serviced by the user. There is a
risk of electric shock if the device is opened.
The device may only be operated indoors and must be
protected from the effects of damp and dust, as well as
solar or other methods of heat radiation.
Intended use
The HomeMatic radio-controlled sensor for carbon dioxide
measures carbon dioxide content in the air. As soon as the
CO
content exceeds a defined level, a switching command
2
is sent out.
Using the device for anything other than its intended
purpose will invalidate all warranty and liability claims. This
also applies to any conversion or modification work.

Function
The radio-controlled sensor for carbon dioxide is used to
measure the CO
content in a room. The sensor is located in an
2
adapter housing and runs on the mains power supply. As soon as
the CO
content exceeds a defined level, a switching
2
command is sent to taught-in HomeMatic actuators. The CO
content continues to be measured; a second switching command is
sent accordingly after 20 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. The
following example illustrates the process.
Example:
If the air quality sensor for CO
2
directly on a WinMatic, for example, when the sensor sends a
switching command on account of the high CO
Matic will open the window for 20 minutes to ventilate the room.
Should the CO
content in the air drop after this time (in other words,
2
if the air becomes fresher), the WinMatic will close the window
automatically. If the air does not improve after the first 20 minutes of
ventilation, the window will be kept open for a further 10 minutes.
