CO2 sensor for Carbon-X with cable set

High-Range NDIR Sensing for Emergency CO2 Monitoring

An emergency CO2 system like Carbon-X is only as good as the sensor feeding it data, and standard-range CO2 sensors saturate well before a true leak or malfunction reaches dangerous concentrations. This TrolMaster sensor reads up to 30,000 ppm CO2, incorporating an NDIR sensor in a self-aspirated enclosure so it stays accurate at the high end of the range that matters for safety compliance.

A built-in LCD display constantly shows the current CO2 level on the unit itself, and each monitored zone or room can use one or two of these sensors to help satisfy local code requirements.

Key Features & Benefits

• NDIR Sensor Reads to 30,000 PPM — covers the high-concentration range relevant to emergency CO2 safety.
• Built-In LCD Display — shows the current CO2 level continuously on the unit.
• 1-2 Sensors Per Zone — helps satisfy typical local code requirements for redundant coverage.
• Cable Set Included — ships with a 16 ft RJ12 cable and T-shape splitter.

Who Should Use This Sensor

Carbon-X system owners who need high-range CO2 monitoring for emergency safety compliance, rather than general growing-condition monitoring, are the intended users of the MBS-K30. It's a safety-code component, not a supplemental-CO2 growth sensor.

About TrolMaster

This high-range sensor is part of Carbon-X, the dedicated CO2 safety platform TrolMaster engineers at its Sacramento, California headquarters separately from its climate-focused Hydro-X line. Emergency-range sensing like this is what lets Carbon-X function as a code-compliance system rather than just a growing aid.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum CO2 reading?

30,000 ppm. That range is built for emergency safety monitoring rather than typical supplemental-CO2 growing levels.

Does this sensor have a display?

Yes, a built-in LCD shows the current ppm level directly on the unit. No separate app or controller screen is needed to check the current reading.

How many sensors are needed per zone?

One or two, depending on local code requirements. Checking applicable code before installation determines the exact count for a given facility.

Does this require additional power hardware?

Yes, the SPH-1 powered splitter hub is required for supplemental power and is sold separately. The sensor will not operate on standard controller cable power alone.
