S8 Miniature 5% CO2 Sensor
The S8 Miniature 5% CO2 Sensor is designed to act like a safety switch for alarm applications where CO2 leak detection is required.
Thanks to a new optical path design, the S8 can accurately measure carbon dioxide levels up to 5%, yet it has less than a 30x20x10mm footprint and runs on only 30mA.
This sensor is designed for commercial applications. It provides simple communication via UART which lets you change the measurement period and control the ABC (Automatic Background Calibration) period in real time. Background and zero-gas calibrations are also implemented in a simple manner.
Features
- Low Power, Small Footprint Design
- Automatic Background Calibration
- Industry-Standard UART Communication
