SprintIR®-6S CO2 Sensor

Overview

SprintIR®-6S is a very fast response CO2 sensor. With a 6X quicker response rate than the SprintIR®-W, 6S is the fastest response NDIR CO2 sensor available today*.

The sensor takes 20 readings per second, which makes it ideal for high speed sensing requirements, and for measuring rapidly changing CO2 levels.

The SprintIR®-6S measures up to 100% CO2 concentration, and comes fitted with a flow-through adapter.

With a compact design, the 6S can be easily integrated into measurement and detection systems. Its low power requirement also makes it ideal for battery powered systems, including portable, wearable and self-powered applications.

SprintIR®-6S is built on our unique patented LED technology platform and optical designs. It’s this solid-state technology that enables best-in-class speed, power consumption, and durability.

*Based on 0.1 litres per minute flow rate and 0-10% step change in CO2 concentration.

CO2 sensors and solutions

We’ve been designing and manufacturing solid-state CO2 sensors and custom-fit solutions for over a decade. You’ll find our solid-state sensors are being used all over the world – on land, under the seas, and in the skies. So there’s every chance that a GSS sensor is already out there being used for your application.

Our core sensor range is suitable for a wide variety of markets. This includes air quality & HVAC, healthcare, horticulture & food processing, transportation, industrial safety, and aerospace sectors. Whether you need high speed, low power, durability or a really tiny sensor, we’ve got it covered.

As for measurement concentrations, go as low or as high as you want. You can measure ambient CO2 levels at 0-2000ppm, right up to 100% concentration.

Some complex applications require specialist knowledge and experience. Likewise, custom requirements call for a deeper understanding of solid-state technology. This is our specialist area of work, and it’s all we do. So we’re well placed to work with you on your next exciting project.
