for %-level measurements in life science incubators, cold storage facilities and all demanding applications

The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide Probe GMP251 is an intelligent, stand-alone, %-level probe for measuring CO2 in life science incubators, cold storage facilities, fruit and vegetable transportation, and in all demanding applications where stable and accurate percentage-level CO2 measurements are needed. The operating temperature range is -40 … +60 °C and the measurement range is 0 … 20%CO2.

The GMP251 is based on Vaisala’s unique,second-generation CARBOCAP® technology that enables exceptional stability. A new type of infrared (IR) light source is used instead of the traditional incandescent light bulb, which extends the lifetime of the GMP251. It has full temperature and pressure compensations of CO2 measurement – integrated temperature measurement for compensation purposes. The sensor head is heated to prevent condensation. Digital output over RS-485: Modbus & Vaisala Industrial Protocol. A calibration certificate is always included with the product

The GMP251 probe is part of the Indigo product family and can also be connected to the Indigo500 and Indigo200 series transmitters to extend its features, for example, for a display or relays.

The GMP251 can also be used with with the free Insight PC Software.

For spot-checking, the ideal choice is the Handheld CO2 Meter GM70.

The GMP251 replaces the following discontinued products: GMM221 and GMT221

The Vaisala RFL100 Data Logger uses Vaisala’s proprietary VaiNet wireless technology. It can be used to monitor temperature (T), relative humidity (RH), and carbon dioxide level (CO2) in a wide range of environments. Suitable applications include warehouses, production areas, cleanrooms, laboratories, incubators, fridges, cold storage areas, and freezers down to −196 °C (approx. −320 °F).

Watch video on how to install Indigo201 and configure analog outputs. Also the probe types are interchangeable reducing downtime. The enclosure with an IP65 classification is safe for harsh environments and resistant to dust and most chemicals. The smooth surface of the enclosure makes cleaning easy.

The Vaisala Indigo, Indigo 510, Indigo 520 transmitter has 4 analog channels that can be configured to mA or voltage type and 2 configurable relays. The Vaisala Indigo510 has 2 analog channels. Any of the output parameters from the connected probes can be assigned to control the analog channels and relays. Digital output protocol is Modbus TCP/IP over Ethernet. Besides Modbus TCP/IP, the transmitter's Ethernet connection provides a web interface and cyber-security that meets the modern standards

The touchscreen display provides local data visualization and easy access to probe configuration. The transmitter also extends the options for connectivity, supply voltage and wiring, compared to using just a smart probe. It also provides mechanical support when wall-mount probe installation is preferred.​ Rugged IP66- and NEMA4-rated  metal enclosure ensures reliable performance even in the harshest conditions.

The Indigo-compatible smart probes include humidity probes (HMP1, HMP3, HMP4, HMP5, HMP7, HMP8 and HMP9), dew point probes (DMP5, DMP6, DMP7 and DMP8),  carbon dioxide probes (GMP251 and GMP252), moisture in oil probe (MMP8), temperature probe (TMP1), and vaporized hydrogen peroxide probes (HPP270). The Indigo520 is also compatible with MHT410 Moisture, Hydrogen and Temperature Transmitter for power transformer online monitoring

The Indigo520 dual-probe support allows simultaneous measurements with two Vaisala Indigo-compatible probes for humidity, temperature, dew point temperature, carbon dioxide, vaporized hydrogen peroxide, and moisture in oil measurements. If you need just one probe, the Indigo510 is an ideal choice.

The Vaisala Carbon Dioxide (CO₂), Humidity and Temperature Transmitter is the most economical way to monitor both indoor air quality (IAQ) and human presence with one sensor. Inadequate ventilation results in elevated CO2 levels, causing drowsiness and decreased productivity. Good indoor air quality can be achieved based on occupancy levels. Energy is saved by minimizing the use of unconditioned outside air. 5-year warranty is valid for instruments purchased in 2021 and beyond.

For accurate and stable HVAC measurements, the wall-mounted Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide and Temperature Transmitter Series GMW80 provides the best stability and reliability on the market, up to 15 years. These indoor air quality sensors designed for standard, demand-controlled ventilation applications. The GMW80 is ideal for buildings occupied 24/7.|

The CO2 measurement of the GMW80 series is based on a second-generation CARBOCAP® sensor, which uses a novel, microglow light source instead of an incandescent light bulb for a longer trouble-free lifetime. The internal reference in the CO2 sensor guarantees the best stability and operation also in constantly occupied buildings without frequent readjustments. The CARBOCAP® sensors give correct CO2 measurements immediately when powered on as they have a built-in reference measurement. Proper operation can be verified immediately after snapping on the device cover.

The following product models are available: GMW83RP, GMW83DRP, GMW83, GMW83A, GMW83D, GMW84, GMW84S, GMW87 and GMW88.

Typical applications include CO2 soil respiration, ambient CO2 monitoring, plant growth chambers, and OEM applications.

The Vaisala Hand-held Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Meter GM70 measures volume concentration of CO2 in the units of ppm or %.

It is a user-friendly meter for demanding spot measurements in laboratories, greenhouses, mushroom farms, and for ensuring CO2 safety during soft drink bottling processes. The measurement accuracy is not affected by dust, water vapor or most chemicals.

The meter can also be used in HVAC and industrial applications, and as a tool for checking Vaisala's fixed CO2 instruments. Also the GMW90  can also be adjusted by using the GM70 meter.

Duct Mounted Vaisala Carbon Dioxide Transmitter Series GMD20 are specially designed for demand-controlled ventilation (DCV). They are easy to install and require no maintenance.

The GMD20 transmitters use the silicon-based Vaisala CARBOCAP® Sensor. The simple structure and reference measurement capabilities make this Single-Beam, Dual-Wavelength NDIR sensor extremely stable and reliable. The CO2 concentration is measured inside the duct without risks for leaks or wrong flow direction affecting the measurement. In addition, the measurement accuracy is not affected by dust, water vapor and most chemicals.  5-year warranty is valid for instruments purchased in 2021 and beyond.

Duct Mounted Vaisala GMD20 series transmitters can be used independently, or incorporated into building energy management systems. The series consists of duct mount units GMD20 and GMD20D. Version D has a display. The duct units' compact sensor head design fits inside the ventilation duct, eliminating the risk of leaking gaskets and measurement errors.

The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide Probe GMP231 is designed to provide incubator manufacturers with accurate and reliable carbon dioxide measurements and sterilization durability at high temperatures, up to 180 °C. The GMP231 probe is based on Vaisala’s patented CARBOCAP® technology and a new type of infrared (IR) light source. 

>The GMP231 probe’s sensor performance is optimized at 5 % CO2  but the sensor measures CO2 up to 20 % with high accuracy. The GMP231 is t's installed through the incubator wall; only the IR sensor and optical components are exposed to the incubation environment. 

In addition, the GMP231 can measure pressure and temperature for CO2 measurement compensation purposes, ensuring the product remains stable and accurate in all CO2 incubation conditions.

The sensor is made of highly durable materials to achieve outstanding stability over both time and temperature. Since water vapor, dust, and most chemicals do not affect measurements, the GMP231 module is ideal for CO2 incubator environments.

Stop the loss. The Vaisala CARBOCAP® MGP262 continuously measures the methane concentration in offgas from your biogas upgrading unit to keep you from letting your profits go up in the air.

Focus on what matters. The MGP262 is the answer to the problem that some methane slip always occurs in the upgrading process. It helps you adjust your process so that you avoid greenhouse gas emissions while you can concentrate on producing the best biomethane possible
