Highly Accurate, Low Power NDIR CO2 Sensor Module

Figaro Engineering Inc. (Japan) is pleased to announce its latest offering—the highly accurate, low power NDIR CO2 sensor module CDM7160.

The CDM7160 CO2 sensor module uses a compact NDIR CO2 sensor featuring excellent performance characteristics, including a high accuracy and low power consumption. Two detector elements inside the module make absolute measurement possible. Unlike recent low-cost single element NDIR CO2 sensor modules that measure relative CO2 levels, CDM7160 can be used in an environment where the baseline CO2 concentration is normally high, such as in hospitals.

Every sensor module is individually calibrated and provided with both a UART and I2C digital interface. The CDM7160 sensor module is designed for simple integration into a user's products. It can be used in a wide range of applications such as ventilation controls for the improvement of energy savings and to assure a good indoor climate.

This new sensor module will be released in 2016, and will be showcased at SENSOR+TEST 2016, Hall 1, Stand 1-556.
