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.
