CDM4160, CO2 gas sensor by Figaro

CDM4160 is a new unit which uses TGS4160, Figaro's durable solid electrolyte CO2 sensor. Due to Figaro’s proprietary idea for signal processing with a microcomputer, no maintenance is required for this module. By application of DC voltage to the module, an analog output voltage proportional to CO2 concentration can be obtained. The module can generate a control signal based on a user-selectable threshold concentration. The features mentioned above make this module ideal for air quality control applications in homes, offices and factories as well as in the field of agriculture.

Features & Applications:

* High selectivity to CO2 
* Indoor air quality control in offices,
* Long life homes, and factories
* Maintenance free 
* CO2 monitors
* Pre-calibrated 
* Agricultural applications
* Low cost
* Wide detection range
* Excellent durability
