The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon
Dioxide and Temperature Transmitter
GMW116 is the compact-size
transmitter that measures both
carbon dioxide and temperature. The
sensor is accurate and durable and it
has an excellent long-term stability,
which decreases maintenance.
The excellent performance of the
Vaisala CARBOCAP
largely from the stable reference
provided by the electrically tunable
Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI).
In buildings with around-theclock occupancy (e.g. hospitals,
work-places, residential buildings,
retirement homes), the assumed
background CO
is simply not applicable. The true
internal reference measurement of
®
sensors results
level reference

Vaisala CARBOCAP
provides years of stable CO
measurements.
The GMW116 Transmitter is designed
especially for demand controlled
ventilation applications with CO
measurement range of
0 … 2000 ppm and temperature range
of 0 ... +50 °C.
With GMW116 there is no need for
temperature compensation. The ideal
gas temperature behaviour is taken
into account automatically.
