TSM400-4-CP_R1.7 –November 2023 Page 2
1. Short description
TSM400-4-CP is a multi-parameter sensor that supports MODBUS RTU protocol over the RS-485
interface. The sensor measures barometric pressure and CO2concentration. The MODBUS device
integrates an advanced non-dispersive infrared sensing element (NDIR) for CO2measurements. The
measurement principle is based on the absorption of infra-red (IR) light with specific wavelengths by
CO2molecules. The CO2sensing element is temperature compensated for better accuracy. Self-
calibration is available for carbon dioxide measurements. It is done if the sensor is left in fresh (around
400 ppm CO2concentration) air.
The basic sensing element for barometric pressure is factory calibrated and it does not require any
lifetime recalibration.
The MODBUS CO2and pressure sensor TSM400-4-CP is housed in a slim plastic enclosure. The bottom
part of the enclosure is suitable for installation on standard flush-mounted/cavity wall boxes ø68mm,
with installation openings on 61 mm.
