Overview

The TC1 sensor provides continuous measurement of cabin/saloon temperature and carbon dioxide concentration to support intelligent climate control and air quality management.

By transmitting real-time data over CAN, the TC1 enables HVAC systems to automatically regulate temperature, airflow and fresh air intake via dampers, helping maintain passenger comfort while minimising unnecessary energy use.

Designed for integration into vehicle thermal management architectures, the sensor operates on a nominal 24V DC supply and is suitable for both on-highway and off-highway applications.

Its compact form factor supports flexible installation within vehicle cabins, while automated CO₂-based control strategies help optimise ventilation efficiency in varying occupancy and operating conditions.

Features

These technical characteristics help the product operate reliably by maintaining stable and predictable performance.

  • Combined Temperature and CO₂ Sensing:  Enables holistic monitoring of cabin/saloon comfort and air quality from a single device.
  • Real-Time CAN Communication: Allows HVAC systems to respond automatically to changing cabin conditions.
  • Supports Fresh Air Damper Control: Enables intelligent ventilation strategies based on CO₂ concentration.
  • 24V DC Operation: Compatible with common commercial and heavy-duty vehicle electrical architectures.
  • Continuous Monitoring: Provides stable, up-to-date environmental data during all operating conditions.
