1.4 Environmental Aspects
Products from E+E Elektronik®are developed and manufactured observing of all relevant requirements
with respect to environment protection. Please observe local regulations for the device disposal.
The individual components of the device shall be disposed of according to local recycling
regulations. The electronics shall be disposed of correctly as electronics waste.
1.5 Product Description
Beside CO2 concentration up to 10 000 ppm, the EE895 measures temperature (T) and absolute
barometric pressure (p). The active pressure and temperature compensation minimizes the impact of
altitude and ambient conditions on the CO2measured data.
The CO2, T and p measured data is available on I²C or UART digital interfaces. The solder pads, the
plated half-holes and the through-holes allow for various mounting options.
1.6 Operating Principle CO2Measurement
The CO2measurement is based on the dual wavelength Non Dispersive Infra-Red (NDIR) technology
which compensates for ageing effects, is highly insensitive to pollution and offers outstanding long term
stability.
The infrared detector 1 (IR-1) is tuned to 4.2 μm, which is the wavelenght absorbed by CO2, the infrared
detector 2 (IR-2) is tuned to 3.9 μm, which is not affected by any gas. For every single flash of the
infrared lamp (IR-L), the device calculates the CO2concentration from the outputs of both infrared
detectors IR-1 and IR-2. The measuring interval is user selectable (factory default: 15 s).
2 Handling Instructions
EE895 is an ESD sensitive device and must be handled with corresponding precautions. Protect the
sensor outside the EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area) using ESD protective packaging.
The EE895 is packed in stacks of ESD trays with 50 pieces each. The tray dimension is 354.2 x 278.6 x
23.8 mm (13.94 x 10.97 x 0.94 inch).
Operating and storage conditions: -40…60 °C (-40…140 °F)
0…95 % RH (non-condensing)
700...1 100 mbar (10.15...15.95 psi)
The EE895 housing and the circuit board shall not be exposed to unneccessary mechanical stress
during installation and operation. The forces exerted shall not exceed 50 N.
The sensor module deploys a fine dust filter for sensing element protection. If the EE895 is deployed in
a device which is designed for harsh environments, the device shall deploy a filter as well.

Tab. 1 Pin assignment
3.5 Pin Description
Pin 1 - VCC_EM
Power supply for the infrared lamp (IR-L). For optimizing of the energy consumption such as in battery-
powered devices, the IR-L can be powered separately.
The IR-L does not have to be powered continuously, as it needs power supply during the measurement
cycle tmeas only, see Fig. 7. Between the measurement cycles the current consumption of IR-L is approx.
0.1 µA.
Pin 2 - VCC_IO
Power supply for the microcontroller and the digital functional blocks.
Pin 3 – EN (Enable)
For battery-powered devices the user can optimize the energy consumption controlling the status of the
EN pin by an external host controller.
When the EN pin is pulled-down to the logic Low 0 (≤0.4 V), the internal voltage regulator of EE895 is
switched off and the current consumption is typically 1 µA (max 2 µA).
When pulled-up to the logic state High (≥0.9 V), the EE895 operates normally.
If the energy consumption of EE895 is not relevant, the EN pin shall be connected to VCC_IO.
The EN pin may not be left open.
Pin 6 – RDY (Data ready)
During the measurement cycle (tmeas), when CO2, T and p are measured and processed, the pin RDY is
in logic state High. As soon as data is available for read out, the pin RDY goes to logic state Low. The
falling edge at this pin indicates that measured data is available for reading, see Fig. 7.
If used, an external pull-up resistor is required. If not used, the RDY pin may be left open.

3.6 Electrical Characteristics
A DC/DC converter is used to flash the lamp (VCC_EM). Therefore, the supply current is reduced with
higher voltage and vice versa. The microcontroller (VCC_IO) is supplied via a linear reglator, hence the
supply current is constant.
The average current consumption at a sampling interval of 15 s (factory default) is 1.6 mA. Tab. 5 lists
the typical and maximum current values in each individual state during the sampling interval, which is
shown in the current profile in Fig. 10.

3.3 V regulator.
The I2C host enables the EE895 with pin 3 - EN.
By checking the status of pin 6 - RDY (pulled up), the host can read the data as soon as available. After
reading the data, EE895 can be disabled with pin 3.

12 User Manual EE895 Miniature Sensor Module for CO2, T and p
3.7.3 EE895 Connected to a KNX Bus
Fig. 13 Example KNX Bus
Pin 7 - ISEL is connected to the ground → the EE895 features I2C interface.
The VCC_EM and the VCC_IO are connected to the typical 5 V bus voltage.
The I2C host keeps the EE895 enabled with the pin 3 – EN and can read the values at any time,
pin 6 - RDY is not used.
4 Digital Interface
The EE895 features standard I2C and UART interfaces.
The interface selection is made with pin 7 – ISEL, see Tab. 2 on page 9.
On both interfaces, I2C and UART, the data is encapsulated in Modbus Protocol Data Units (Modbus
PDUs).
Please note: Modbus implementation details and request/response examples are described in detail in
the Modbus Application Note AN0103 (available at www.epluse.com/EE895).
4.1 I2C Interface
The EE895 supports the standard I²C specification. For detailed information about the I2C interface,
please refer to NXP document „I²C-bus specification and user manual“, Rev. 6, 4 April 2014:
www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10204.pdf
The I2C interface simultaneously supports two protocols on two different slave addresses:
• Modbus over I2C address 0x5F
• I2C simplified address 0x5E
These addresses are fixed, they cannot be changed by the user.
4.1.1 Modbus Protocol Over I2C Interface
I2C slave address: 0x5F
The I2C interface encapsulates the data according Modbus PDU packets, including CRC:
SSlave Address W A Request: Modbus PDU + Modbus CRC P
SSlave Address R A Response: Modbus PDU + Modbus CRC P
Every byte of the Modbus PDU and the Modbus CRC must be acknowledged
(according to I2C specification, not shown above).

13
User Manual EE895 Miniature Sensor Module for CO2, T and p
The EE895 module supports repeated START or STOP conditions between the request packet and
the response packet. If a START condition and an address match are detected, the EE895 will stay
active until a STOP condition is received or an idle timeout of 500 ms occurs. This might increase the
power consumption and self-heating. The I2C master shall ensure that the data is retrieved as soon as
possible in case of a repeated START.
For the Modbus register map please refer to chapter 4.3, page 15.
Please note: The CRC16 shall be calculated including the unshifted slave address.

Please note: For obtaining the correct value, both registers have to be read with a single request.
The measured value can change between two Modbus requests. Exponent and mantissa may get
inconsistent in this case.
4.1.2 I2C Simplified Protocol
I2C slave address: 0x5E
This I²C protocol is intended for I2C master reading the measured values from EE895 in
“EEPROM-like-mode”.
The simplified I2C does not support any error detection (such as CRC) and provides the measured data
in 8 subsequent registers, as 16 bit integers.

The read pointer is the first register to be set. Additional bytes are answered by the EE895 module
with NACK. If more bytes are read than the 8 registers, the EE895 answers with 0xFF
(i.e. the SDA line is not pulled down). If a START condition and an address match are detected, the
EE895 will stay active until a STOP condition is received or an idle timeout of 500 ms occurs.

*) The EE895 features an exponential moving average filter which to a certain degree suppresses the
influence of short-term CO2variations onto the output CO2data. The filter coefficient is user selectable
and affects the response time of the EE895. A higher filter coefficient leads to smoother output data
and to longer response time, see figure Fig. 14. Fig. 15 shows the number of samples required to reach
63% or 90% of a CO2 step as function of the filter coefficient.
