The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon
Dioxide Transmitter Series GMT220 is
designed to measure carbon dioxide
in harsh and humid environments.
The housing is dust- and waterproof
to IP65 standards.
The GMT220 series transmitters
incorporate the advanced Vaisala
CARBOCAP
sensor has unique reference
measurement capabilities. Its critical
parts are made of silicon; this gives
the sensor outstanding stability
over both time and temperature.
By lengthening the time between
calibration intervals, the user saves
both time and money.
®
Sensor. The patented
Interchangeable probes
The user has a choice of
measurement ranges up to 20%
of CO
. The GMT221 is for higher
2
concentrations of CO
for lower concentrations of CO
GMT220 probes are interchangeable.
They can be removed and reattached
or replaced at any time – without the
need for calibration and adjustment.
The probes can be attached directly
to the transmitter body or, when used
with a cable, installed remotely into
hard-to-reach places or areas with
dangerously high levels of CO
The interchangeability of the GMT220
transmitter’s probes truly facilitates
eld maintenance.
The end user can carry out eld
maintenance without any additional
equipment or heavy and expensive
calibration gas bottles by simply
replacing a probe.
Probes that have been replaced can be
sent to Vaisala for recalibration.
