Heavier than air gases should typically be detected 6 inches from the floor, lighter than air gas sensors should typically be placed on or near the ceiling, and gases which have a density close to that of air should have sensors installed in the "breathing zone" 4 - 6 feet from the floor.
Where should I mount my gas detector?
Sensors should be located near the floor for gases or vapors three or four times heavier than air. They should be installed near the ceiling or roof to detect lighter-than-air gases.
Where are the sensors for CO2 located?
They can be located at the same height (48 inches or 122cm is standard) and on the same wall as you would mount a thermostat. Like a thermostat, they should not be near outside doors or windows that can make the space appear to have more fresh air than it actually does.May 15, 2012

What is CO2 sensor in HVAC?
CO2 gas sensors are commonly used to measure the air composition in ventilation units to monitor the performance of HVAC systems in offices and commercial buildings.
Why are CO2 sensors used?
CO2 sensors are used to monitor fermentation, respiration, photosynthesis, and other carbon dioxide consuming or producing processes. They can be used for HVAC applications to monitor air quality.
Where is the CO2 sensor located?
Because carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and also because it may be found with warm, rising air, detectors should be placed on a wall about 5 feet above the floor. The detector may be placed on the ceiling.Jul 1, 2021
What are the possible sources of measurement error in using a CO2 sensor in a lab environment?
The most important source of error in the measurement of carbon dioxide elimination is rebreathing, which corresponds to about 24 ml of end-expiratory gas per breath with the standard Y-piece and tubing. This problem may be decreased by the use of non-return valves in the Y-piece.
Do CO2 sensors need calibration?
All carbon dioxide sensors need calibration. Depending on the application, this can be accomplished by calibrating the sensor to a known gas or using the automatic baseline calibration (ABC) method.Sep 4, 2020
How do you test a CO2 sensor?
To test a carbon monoxide detector, hold down the “test” button until you hear two beeps sound off. Once you hear these beeps, release your finger off the test button. Recreate this event, but this time hold down the test button until you hear four beeps.
