CO2 wall sensors
27 January 2016
Vaisala has introduced two new temperature and carbon dioxide transmitter models in its GMW80 series – GMW84 and GMW84S with current outputs. The company now offers a full range of CO2 wall sensors for HVAC applications.

The GMW80 Series carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity transmitters are suitable for standard demand-controlled ventilation and for spaces occupied 24/7. They are used in a variety of locations, including office buildings, hospitals, and factories to improve the efficiency of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
The device uses second-generation CARBOCAP technology and incorporates Microglow light source technology, patented by Vaisala.
Product Manager Lars Stormbom of Vaisala Controlled Environment, says: "The Microglow chip is a silicon MEMS emitter infrared source, which improves the reliability and stability of the transmitters. We have replaced the traditional filament lamps with this low-power light source, which enables better stability and extends its lifetime to 15 years, at least."
Vaisala has designed the sensor in a way that minimises maintenance, further helping to reduce the cost of ownership. Low product life cycle costs are achieved due to the second-generation CARBOCAP and the latest Microglow technologies. This is said to lead to superior stability, lower power consumption and at least 15 years of reliable calibration-free operation.
The GMW80 series transmitters are ready for use immediately and will show correct CO2 readings right away without any adjustment period. Installation takes less than 2min.
