GMW115 Carbon Dioxide Transmitter for
Demand Controlled Ventilation
The Vaisala CARBOCAP
®
Carbon Dioxide Transmitter GMW115 is a wall-mounted
CO
2
transmitter for demand controlled ventilation.
The wall-mounted Vaisala
CARBOCAP
®
Carbon Dioxide
Transmitter GMW115 is a compact
transmitter for measuring room
carbon dioxide levels in building
automation applications.
Room carbon dioxide level is an
indicator for indoor air quality and
human presence. It can be used to
steer ventilation to introduce an
adequate (but not excess) air flow
based on the true need for fresh air.
Demand controlled ventilation is
well suited to buildings and premises
where occupancy varies. Examples
of such facilities are schools, offices,
meeting rooms, auditoriums, and
sports arenas.
The GMW115 transmitter is designed
for indoor use in various demand
Features/Benefits
▪
Compact, wall-mounted
transmitter for demand
controlled ventilation
▪
Incorporates Vaisala
CARBOCAP®, the silicon based
NDIR sensor with unique
internal referencing
▪
Advanced, single-beam, dual
wavelength measurement with
no moving parts
▪
Excellent long-term stability
▪
Ideal for ventilation control in
all types of occupied spaces
controlled applications. The
transmitter is easy to install and
needs practically no maintenance.
There are two optional ranges of
0…2 000 ppm and 0…5 000 ppm to
select from.
Proven Performance with
the Vaisala CARBOCAP®
Sensor
The GMW115 transmitter uses Vaisala
CARBOCAP
®
carbon dioxide sensor, a
silicon-based infrared (IR) absorption
sensor. The excellent long-term
stability of the CARBOCAP
®
sensor
results from its unique measurement
technology. The sensor features
an electrically tunable Fabry-Perot
Interferometer for built-in reference
measurement. The sensor not
only measures CO
2
absorption but
also a reference, which makes it
possible to compensate for potential
light intensity variations and
contamination and dirt accumulation
in the optical path, making the sensor
extremely stable over time.
CARBOCAP sensor has no need
for any compensation algorithms
that are used in more simple
sensors to compensate for their
drift. In buildings with around-the-
clock occupancy (e.g. hospitals,
manufacturing facilities, residential
buildings, and retirement homes) the
compensations based on assumed
background carbon dioxide level
simply do not work.
