Wall mountable sensor module with improved IAQ sensor response time
A wall mountable sensor module includes a housing defining an internal space that is segmented into a first internal space and a second internal space. The first internal space defines an air channel that extends from an air inlet to an air outlet. Two or more sensors are configured to be exposed to the air flow channel. A first sensor is configured to detect a first air parameter and a second sensor is configured to detect a second different air parameter, wherein the second sensor is situated downstream of the first sensor in the air flow channel. The sensor module includes a fan housed by the housing, the fan configured to cause an airflow to flow in through the air inlet, through the air flow channel thereby exposing each of the sensors to the airflow, and out through the air outlet.
