for Spot-Checking Applications
accuracy is not affected by dust,
water vapor or most chemicals. The
GM70 has a two-year recommended
calibration interval.
The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Hand-Held Carbon Dioxide Meter GM70 is the demanding
professional’s choice for hand-held carbon dioxide measurement. The meter consists
of the indicator (center) and probe, used either with the handle (left) or pump (right).

The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Hand-Held
Carbon Dioxide Meter GM70 is a
user-friendly meter for demanding
spot measurements in laboratories,
greenhouses and mushroom farms.
The meter can also be used in HVAC
and industrial applications, and as a
tool for checking xed CO
The GM70 has a short warm-up
time and is ready for use almost
immediately. It has a menu-based
interface, a graphical LCD display and
data logging capability. The optional

Interchangeable probes
The GM70 uses the same probes as
Vaisala CARBOCAP
Transmitter Series GMT220 and
Modules Series GMM220. By plugging
different probes into the handle or
pump, the user can easily change the
measurement range of the GM70.
The meter can also be used as a
calibration check instrument for
Vaisala’s GM20 and series, GMT/
M220 xed CO
probes can even be adjusted by using
the GM70 meter.
The GM70 has two probe inputs.
Vaisala’s relative humidity and
dewpoint probes can also be
used simultaneously with CO
measurement.
