030-8-0016 K30 1% CO2 Sensor
The K30 1% CO2 Sensor (030-8-0016) is intended to be used to monitor up to 1% CO2 where the levels are constantly higher than normal but still within safety levels.
This sensor comes with the Automatic Background Calibration turned off. ABC only works when the sensor can regularly detect fresh air. If CO2 levels are always higher than outdoor air, this sensor will not drift. However, periodic manual calibration will be required.
Features
- Simple to install, pre-calibrated and ready-to-use
- Proven reliability, low cost
- Maintenance free in normal applications
- Flexible analog and digital outputs
Models
- 030-8-0016 - K30 1% CO2 Sensor Only - For integration into high-volume OEM products. Automatic Baseline Calibration (ABC) turned off.
- Sensor Development Kit (CM-200) - Easy to use, simply plug the sensor into the PCB and plug it into your PC via USB. Use our free GasLab® software to measure and graph carbon dioxide or use our library of source code on Github to build your own application or for OEM batch testing/configuration. Order sensors on this page, then order the Devkit here.
We recommend that all first time users purchase both this sensor and the CM-200 Development Kit for fastest and easiest results.
