GMD/W20 Series Carbon Dioxide Transmitters for
Demand Controlled Ventilation Applications
Features/Benefits
• Versatile transmitters
• Duct and wall mount models
• Incorporates Vaisala CARBOCAP®
Sensor - the silicon-based NDIR
sensor
• Excellent long-term stability
• Negligible temperature dependence
• Ease of installation
e GMD/W20 series transmitters are designed for use in ventilation-related applications.
e duct mounted Vaisala CARBOCAP®
Carbon Dioxide Transmitter Series
GMD20 and wall mounted GMW20
are specially designed for Demand
Controlled Ventilation (DCV). ey
are easy to install and require no
maintenance. e recommended
calibration interval is ve years.
Vaisala CARBOCAP®
technology
e GMD/W20 Series Transmitters use
the silicon-based Vaisala CARBOCAP®
Sensor. e simple structure and
reference measurement capabilities
make this Single-Beam, DualWavelength NDIR sensor extremely
stable and reliable.
e temperature and ow dependences
of the sensor are negligible. In addition,
the measurement accuracy is not
aected by dust, water vapor and most
chemicals.
Versatile transmitters
e GMD/W20 series transmitters can
be used independently, or incorporated
into building energy management
systems. e series consists of duct
mount units GMD20/D and wall mount
units GMW21/D and GMW22/D.
Version D has a display. e two sizes in
the wall-mount series make them easy
to install for most standard junction
boxes.
e duct units' compact sensor head
design requires only a small hole in a
ventilation duct, thereby minimizing the
risk of leaking gaskets and measurement
errors.
In addition to the standard 0 ... 20 mA,
4 ... 20 mA and 0 ... 10 V outputs, there
are three other options: two LonWorks®
interfaces and a relay output. e relay
output is standard with the display
units.
Improve indoor air at
minimal energy costs
e use of the GMD/W20 series
transmitters ensures the best possible
control of air quality and results
in considerable savings in energy
consumption, maintenance and
recalibration costs.
Temperature option
e GMA20T temperature module,
an option with the GMW21 wall
mount unit, combines both CO2 and
temperature measurement into one
transmitter. e GMA20T has an
output of 0 ... 10 V corresponding to a
temperature range of 0 ... +50 °C (+32 ...
+122 °F).
