CozIR®-Blink Sensor
CozIR®-Blink is an ultra low power CO2 sensor – the lowest power and longest life infrared CO2 sensor available today, with I2C interface! The Blink mode enables customers to manage the power consumption based on their needs and application. The sensor can be turned on when a reading is required and then turned completely off when not in use – no sleep mode here!
Users can customise how much energy is spent on each measurement, putting then in full control of energy trade-offs for ultra low power applications.
It’s world-leading low power consumption makes it ideal for battery powered systems, including IoT applications and smart technology. This means that portable, wearable and even self-powered monitoring systems and solutions are now possible for your application.
Designed for measuring low levels of CO2, this miniature, lightweight sensor offers easy integration into gas monitoring and detection systems.
CozIR®-Blink is built on our unique patented LED technology platform and optical designs. It’s this solid-state technology that enables best-in-class power consumption, lifetime and durability.
