- Sensor head heated to prevent condensation Vaisala CARBOCAPâ Carbon Dioxide Probe GMP251 is an intelligent probe for measuring carbon dioxide. This robust, standalone measurement device is designed for use in demanding applications, such as life science incubators, where stable, reliable, and accurate performance is required. Benefits
- Excellent long-term stability
- Reliable and accurate
- Calibration certificate included GMP251 is based on Vaisala’s patented, latest-generation CARBOCAP technology that enables exceptional stability. A new type of infrared (IR) light source is used instead of the traditional incandescent light bulb, which extends the lifetime of GMP251. GMP251 incorporates an internal temperature sensor for compensation of the CO2 measurement according to ambient temperature. The effects of pressure and background gas can also be compensated for. The measurement range is 0 ... 20 %CO2 and the sensor performance is optimized at 5 %CO2 measurement. The operating temperature range of the probe is wide (−40 … +60 °C (−40 ... +140 °F)), and the probe housing is classified as IP65. Condensation is prevented as the internal sensor head is heated. GMP251 is resistant to dust and most chemicals, such as H2O2 and alcohol-based cleaning agents. Ease of use GMP251 is a compact probe with easy and fast plug-in, plug-out installation. The surface of the probe is smooth, which makes it easy to clean. The probe provides several output options, including analog current and voltage outputs and digital RS-485 output with Modbusâ protocol. GMP251 can be connected to Indigo series transmitters and the Indigo80 handheld indicator for an extended range of output and configuration options. See www.vaisala.com/indigo. For easy-to-use access to field calibration, device analytics, and configuration functionality, the probe can be connected to Vaisala Insight software for Windowsâ. See www.vaisala.com/ insight.
Applications
GMP251 is ideal for life science incubators, cold storages, fruit and vegetable transportation, and for all demanding applications where stable and accurate %-level CO2 measurements are needed. A flow-through adapter with gas ports is available as an accessory, enabling tubing for easy and flexible remote measurement with a separate pump. A multiplexer can also be added for sampling gas from several locations. 1) 1) Third-party pump and multiplexer not provided by Vaisala.
