Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector BACnet points list
Updated 7 November 2026
The CDTA and CDTC are wall-mount CO2 detectors with temperature, a setpoint and an override button; the CDTA adds humidity. A DIP switch selects BACnet MS/TP or Modbus RTU. On BACnet the device is an application specific controller (B-ASC) with three analog inputs for the measurements, analog values for setpoints, calculated psychrometrics and calibration offsets, and two binary values.
This page lists 16 BACnet objects for the Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector — 10 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Dwyer’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector
Read CO2 (AI 1), humidity (AI 2, CDTA) and temperature (AI 3). Read or write the setpoint AV 1 and watch BV 1 for the occupant override.
Minimum points to map
The short list most integrators start with — enough to run the unit from a BMS. Map more as the job needs.
| Object | Name | Why | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| AV 1 | Set Point | Temperature setpoint | Write |
| AI 1 | CO2 Concentration | CO2 level, ppm | Read |
| AI 2 | Relative Humidity | Space relative humidity (CDTA only) | Read |
| AI 3 | Temperature | Space temperature | Read |
| BV 1 | Override | Occupant override | Write |
Network setup
- DIP switch SW2 sets the MAC address (factory 127); a second DIP switch selects BACnet MS/TP instead of Modbus RTU and can lock the setup menu.
- MS/TP master at 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800 or 115200 baud.
- Default device instance is 607xxx where xxx is the MAC address.
Watch out for
- Barometric pressure (AV 9) is writable; set it for the site.

Object ID lookup: Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector point IDs by name
Integration notes
- The object list comes from the PICS object table; writable objects are those with Present_Value in the writable-properties column.
- Relative humidity (AI 2) and the humidity-derived values (AV 4-6, AV 10) apply to the CDTA; the CDTC has no humidity sensor (Dwyer product manual).
- Temperature units follow BV 2 Use SI Units.
- DIP switch details in the setup notes come from Dwyer's CDTA/CDTC installation manual, not the PICS.
Check it against the live device. A points list tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or installed options. This list is provided as-is for reference only and may contain mistakes — confirming it before you write, map or commission anything is up to you (terms). Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone, reads every object on the Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector
How many BACnet points does the Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector have?
This list has 16 BACnet objects: 3 analog inputs, 11 analog values, 2 binary values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector BACnet points are writable?
10 of the 16 objects accept a write. Points marked Command have a priority array: a write holds until it is released, so release it back to automatic when you are done.
Where is the official Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector BACnet documentation?
The source is Series CDTA and CDTC Communicating Carbon Dioxide Detector - BACnet Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement (Bulletin AQ-CDTA-CDTC-PIC), revision 2013-12-18, published free by Dwyer at https://assets.dwyeromega.com/manuals-do/CDTA_BAC_CDTC_BACnet_Conformance.pdf.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Dwyer Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector?
Start with AV 1 Set Point (Temperature setpoint); AI 1 CO2 Concentration (CO2 level, ppm); AI 2 Relative Humidity (Space relative humidity (CDTA only)); AI 3 Temperature (Space temperature); BV 1 Override (Occupant override).
How do I check these points on the real Series CDTA / CDTC Communicating CO2 Detector?
Scan the network with a BACnet IP browser such as Easy BACnet, open the device and compare its object list with this table. Anything missing is usually an option that isn't installed or a point that is disabled in the controller's configuration.
