The ExplorIR®-M-100 (formerly known as MinIR-GC-0025) is a miniature CO2 sensor, capable of measuring up to 5% concentration. Its compact and robust design enables easy integration into gas monitoring and detection systems.

ExplorIR®-M is specifically designed for applications that require the sensor to operate reliably in extreme environmental conditions, especially where the pressure, temperature or vibration regime is particularly harsh. This makes it the ideal for applications from fire systems testing to compressed CO2 transportation.

The sensor is designed to take 2 readings per second, making it ideal for applications where gas concentrations are rapidly changing.

The ExplorIR®-M uses patented solid-state optical technology, which enables the sensor to provide high accuracy CO2 measurement capability over an extended lifetime.

Features

  • Measures up to 100% CO2
  • Low power CO2 sensor
  • Solid-state LED optical technology
  • Vibration and shock resistant
  • UART interface
  • Built-in auto-zero function

Models

  • ExplorIR®-M-100 Sensor (EXPLORIR-M-100) – for integration into high-volume OEM products.
  • ExplorIR®-M-100 Sensor w/ MX Board - (CM-40830) – same functionality as the development kit without USB cable or software.
  • ExplorIR 100% CO2 Sensor Development Kit (CM-40831) - Easy to use, simply plug the sensor PCB module into your PC via USB. Use our free GasLab® software to measure and graph carbon dioxide in real time or for data logging. Use a tube cap adapter to create a sampling sensor.
  • Sensor Development Kit (CM-200) - Easy to use, simply plug the sensor into the PCB and plug it into your PC via USB. Use our free GasLab® software to measure and graph carbon dioxide or use our library of source code on Github to build your own application or for OEM batch testing/configuration. Order sensors on this page, then order the Devkit here.

We recommend that all first-time users purchase either the CM-40831 or CM-200 Development Kit for fastest and easiest results.

Accessories

Gas Sensor Development Kit (CM-200)- designed to provide customers with an easy drop-in solution. Includes our free Gaslab data logging software. Sensor sold separately.

Tube cap adapters easily convert 20mm standard gas sensors from diffusion to sampling sensors. Molded polymer. Tube cap adapters are not pre-installed. For accurate results you must mount the tube cap permanently.

Micro-Pump Kit includes all the tools you need to utilize the tube-cap adapters as part of a sampling sensor system.

Nafion Tubing is a highly selective, semi-permeable membrane to water vapor. If gases inside Nafion tubing are wetter than gases surrounding the tubing, drying will occur. If the surrounding gases are wetter, humidification will occur.

Micro Gas Sampling Pumps provide a constant flow of air across the sensor with a tube cap - perfect for bench-top testing of sensors for closed-loop sampling applications.

Probe Enclosure for Development Kits gives a strong and secure container to mount the sensor. Hydrophobic filters available for enclosure for outdoor use.

Excellent

It is reliable sensor we used.

Works great for the application!

The CO2 sensor has a large dynamic range and fast response time. I've noticed a gain error of ~30% but have subsequently calibrated the measurement by mixing various ratios of CO2 and air. Overall, the sensor is small and easy to communicate with and works excellent for our research application.

MiniR-100

A very stable sensor within the range from 0-100%. the correlation over the hole range is at 99.999%. An excellent product.

"Easy to install, easy to set up, and easy calibration - just what I was looking for."
