Fig. 1: BAPI-Stat 3 Room CO2 Sensor
The BAPI CO2 Sensor is an accurate and reliable way of incorporat-
ing demand controlled ventilation into a building’s HVAC strategy. It
measures the CO2 in a range of 0 to 2,000 ppm with a eld selectable
output of 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 VDC.
The non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology has been optimized
to reduce drift. The sensor is also altitude compensated for long-
term accuracy and stability. Changing air pressure, due to altitude
or weather patterns, can change the output of most CO2 sensors by
as much as 17%. The BAPI unit has a built-in barometric sensor that
continuously compensates the output for accurate readings despite
inclement weather or the altitude of the installation.
The unit can be ordered as CO2 alone, or with optional temperature
sensing, temperature setpoint, occupant override and humidity sens-
ing. The large format display is easy to read and alternates between
the measured values (CO2, Temperature or Humidity). The display is
also eld adjustable between °F or °C and all the displayed values
may be turned on or off by an HVAC technician.
Optional indication of the CO2 level as “Good, Fair or Poor” is avail-
able as a three-color LED on the unit or as an arrow on the display.

Mounting
Mounting hardware is provided for both junction box and drywall instal-
lation (junction box installation shown).
Note: Screw the 1/26” Allen lock-down screw into the base to open the
case, less chance of losing it this way. Back out the lock-down screw
to secure the cover.
Junction Box
1. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the junction box, leaving
about six inches free.
2. Pull the wire through the hole in the base plate.
3. Secure the plate to the box using the #6-32 x 5/8 inch mounting
screws provided.
4. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in the Termination
section. (page 3)
5. Mold the foam on the unit’s base to the wire bundle to prevent
drafts. (see note below)
6. Attach Cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover
down and snapping it into place.
7. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a
1/16” Allen wrench until it is ush with the bottom of the cover.
Drywall Mounting
1. Place the base plate against the wall where you want to mount the sensor.
2. Using a pencil, mark out the two mounting holes and the area where the wires will come through the wall.
3. Drill two 3/16” holes in the center of each marked mounting hole, DO NOT punch the holes or the drywall an-
chors will not hold. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
4. Drill one 1/2” hole in the middle of the marked wiring area.
5. Pull the wire through the wall and out of the 1/2” hole, leaving about six inches free.
6. Pull the wire through the hole in the base plate.
7. Secure the base to the drywall anchors using the #6 x 1 inch mounting screws provided.
8. Terminate the unit according to the guidelines in the Termination section. (page 3)
9. Mold the foam on the unit’s base to the wire bundle to prevent drafts. (see note below)
10. Attach cover by latching it to the top of the base, rotating the cover down and snapping it into place.
11. Secure the cover by backing out the lock-down screw using a 1/16” Allen wrench until it is ush with the bottom
of the cover.
NOTE: In any wall-mount application, the wall temperature and the temperature of the air within the wall cavity can
cause erroneous readings. The mixing of room air and air from within the wall cavity can lead to condensation, er-
roneous readings and sensor failure. To prevent these conditions, BAPI recommends sealing the conduit leading to
the junction box, lling the junction box with berglass insulation or sealing the wall cavity.

BAPI recommends using twisted pair of at least 22AWG and sealant lled connectors for all wire connections. Larger
gauge wire may be required for long runs. All wiring must comply with the National Electric Code (NEC) and local codes.
Do NOT run this device’s wiring in the same conduit as AC power wiring. BAPI’s tests show uctuating and inaccurate
signals are possible when AC power wiring is in the same conduit as the signal lines. If you are experiencing any of these
difculties, please contact your BAPI representative.
BAPI recommends wiring the product with power disconnected. Proper supply voltage, polarity and wiring
connections are important to a successful installation. Not observing these recommendations may damage the
product and void the warranty.

User Operation
The display indicates CO2 in PPM, temperature in °F or °C,
%RH, temperature setpoint in degrees °F or °C and override
using the BAPI Man icon. The three triangle icons are used
with the –ARW option to show CO2 levels.
The main display indicates the numeric value of the quantity
being displayed. The minor display indicates the engineering
units of the value, such as PPM, °F, °C or %RH.
Temperature Setpoint Slidepot: Moving the slidepot enough
to change the setpoint by one degree will display the setpoint
on the main LCD display if equipped with display. The setpoint
display will hold for ve seconds after moving the slide pot.
Override Button: When the override button is pressed on
display units, the BAPI Man icon will display. A dry resistance
of less than 1 ohm appears from the override output (OVR) to
the Ground terminal (GND). Latching the Icon to show that
the system is in override requires that a dry contact on your
controller be used to connect terminal EXT to ground.

Output Selection
Diagnostics
Possible Problems: Possible Solutions:
General troubleshooting Determine that the input is set up correctly in the controller's and building automation software.
Check wiring at the sensor and controller for proper connections. If there is corrosion, clean off
the corrosion, re-strip the interconnecting wire and reapply the connection. In extreme cases,
replace the controller, interconnecting wire and/or sensor.
Label the terminals that the interconnecting wires are connected to at the sensor end and the
controller end. Disconnect the interconnecting wires from the controller and the sensor. With
the interconnecting wires separated at both ends measure the resistance from wire-to-wire with
a multimeter. The meter should read greater than 10 Meg-ohms, open or OL depending on the
meter you have. Short the interconnecting wires together at one end. Go to the other end and
measure the resistance from wire-to-wire with a multimeter. The meter should read less than 10
ohms (22 gauge or larger, 250 feet or less). If either test fails, replace the wire.
Check power supply/controller voltage supply for proper voltage (see specications)
Incorrect CO2 Wait 15 minutes after a power interruption.
Check all software parameters
Determine if the sensor is exposed to an external environment different from the room (conduit draft)
If the sensor is reading consistently high, make sure that the power supply to the unit can provide
240mA. A low power situation will cause high CO2 readings.
Note: If the CO2 sensor has consistently given high PPM readings for over 5 days, it will take up
to 14 days for the readings to return to normal.
Incorrect Humidity Check all software parameters
If available, check the sensor against a calibrated instrument such as a hygrometer
Determine if the sensor is exposed to an external environment different from the room (conduit draft)
Incorrect Temperature Check the wires at the sensor and controller for proper connections.
Check the Temperature Output of the unit. Disconnect the temperature sensor’s wire (Terminals
TP+ & TP-) and measure the temperature sensor’s resistance across the sensor output pins with
an ohmmeter. Put the ohmmeter’s black lead on Terminal TP- and the red lead on Terminal TP+.
Compare the temperature sensor’s resistance to the appropriate temperature sensor table on the
BAPI website. (Go to www.bapihvac.com; click on “Resource Library” and “Sensor Specs”, then
click on the sensor type you have.) If the measured resistance differs from the temperature table
by more than 5%, call BAPI technical support.
Determine if the sensor is exposed to an external environment different from the room (conduit or
wall cavity draft)
