Vaisala XMW85 CO2, Humidity and Temperature Transmitter
The Vaisala XMW85 Series comprises configurable indoor transmitters for humidity, temperature and carbon-dioxide measurement. Designed for demand-controlled ventilation and smart-building applications, the series provides reliable real-time measurements through Modbus RTU communication.
Two-in-one models measure relative humidity and temperature, while three-in-one models add Vaisala CARBOCAP carbon-dioxide measurement. Versions with or without a local display are available.
The XMW85 helps building-automation systems optimise ventilation, improve energy efficiency and maintain healthy indoor conditions in offices, schools, healthcare facilities and commercial buildings.
