The Vaisala GMW80 Series provides dependable, cost-efficient room measurement for demand-controlled ventilation and indoor air-quality applications.
The Vaisala GMW80 Series is a family of wall-mounted transmitters for measuring carbon dioxide in offices, classrooms, meeting rooms and other occupied spaces. Depending on the model, the transmitter can also measure temperature and relative humidity or provide a passive Pt1000 temperature signal.
Its CARBOCAP® sensor uses an internal reference to maintain stable operation in buildings occupied around the clock. Low self-heating helps reduce temperature-related measurement error, while the product family offers several output and indication choices for common building controllers.
