Vaisala GMW90 Series CO₂, Temperature and Humidity Transmitters

Vaisala GMW90 Series CO₂, Temperature and Humidity Transmitters

The Vaisala GMW90 Series provides stable wall-mounted carbon-dioxide and temperature measurement, with optional humidity, for demanding HVAC and building-automation applications.

  • Carbon-dioxide measurement from 0 to 5000 ppm
  • CO₂ accuracy up to ±(30 ppm + 2% of reading)
  • Temperature measurement from −5 to +55 °C
  • Optional HUMICAP® relative-humidity measurement from 0 to 95 %RH
  • Voltage, current or Modbus RTU output models
  • Display and CO₂ status-indicator options
  • Field-exchangeable calibrated measurement modules
  • Traceable three-point CO₂ calibration certificate included

High-Quality Indoor CO₂ Measurement for Building Control

The Vaisala GMW90 Series is designed for room-level carbon-dioxide measurement in demand-controlled ventilation, green buildings and other HVAC applications where measurement stability and maintainability are important. Every model measures CO₂ and temperature; R models add relative humidity.

Vaisala CARBOCAP® technology measures CO₂ using an internal reference, supporting stable long-term operation. Exchangeable measurement modules allow maintenance and traceability to be restored without replacing the complete installed transmitter.

Choose the Measurements and Output

RequirementRecommended model familySelection note
CO₂ and temperature only GMW93, GMW94 or GMW95 families Avoid paying for humidity when the control or monitoring system does not require it
CO₂, temperature and humidity GMW93R, GMW94R or GMW95R families Select an R model and provide enough receiving channels or fieldbus registers
Voltage outputs GMW93 family Confirm whether the controller accepts 0–5 V or 0–10 V and check input grounding
Current outputs GMW94 family Confirm 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA scaling and available loop resistance
Modbus RTU GMW95 family Confirm RS-485 wiring, baud rate, parity, address and termination
Local display Models ending in D Useful for commissioning and occupant-facing indication
Visible CO₂ status GMW93RA Adds display and an LED indicator for CO₂ status

Carbon-Dioxide Measurement Performance

SpecificationGMW90 Series
Measurement range 0 to 5000 ppm CO₂
Sensor Vaisala CARBOCAP® GM10
Accuracy from +20 to +30 °C ±(30 ppm + 2% of reading)
Accuracy from +10 to +20 °C and +30 to +40 °C ±(35 ppm + 2.7% of reading)
Accuracy from −5 to +10 °C and +40 to +55 °C ±(45 ppm + 3.8% of reading)
Five-year stability in typical HVAC applications Total room-temperature accuracy of approximately ±75 ppm at 600 and 1000 ppm, including five-year drift
