Target Carbon Dioxide Range
While the exact target level of carbon dioxide can be debated if the goal is to maximize yield and minimize excess than typically aiming for around 1000ppm should be the goal. Atmospheric levels are about 400ppm so anything above this would be beneficial for the plant. However, going over 1500ppm is considered to be a waste.
Keep in mind that it is not until levels reach 5000ppm does the environment become hazardous to humans.
The controller is set to be around 1000ppm but due to the small space the level will typically be in the 950-1150 range. This controller has a feature called Fuzzy logic, which allows the controller to learn over time how the dosing time impacts the levels of carbon dioxide to reduce the chance of over or under dosing to maximize the efficiency use of the carbon dioxide.
