GE Sensing—Telaire Products Releases a New Generation of CO2 Transmitters

Goleta, CA, December 04, 2006.

GE Sensing—Telaire Products is excited to announce the release of a new generation of CO2 transmitters targeting indoor air quality and energy conservation applications. The Ventostat® T8031 / T8041 Duct Mount Series Wall Mount CO2 Transmitters offer accuracy and versatility at an affordable price. This exceptional product line touts an unobtrusive form factor that is easy to install, simple to use, and remains accurate over the expected life of the device utilizing Telaire’s patented ABC Logic (Automatic Background Calibration) technology.

“The new Telaire CO2 Transmitter product line represents a marked improvement in size, ease of use, and customer installation,” says Dave Michels, Global Product Marketing Manager for Telaire Products. “We listen to our customers and deliver innovative solutions.”

"The technology is based on the absorption of light in a gold-plated reflective light pipe or waveguide diffusion gas chamber. A gas permeable Teflon filter prevents particulate and water contamination of the sensor. Light is absorbed in proportion to the CO2 concentration and the remaining light is measured and converted into an analog signal.

The Telaire product line offers patented ABC Logic™ - software for self-correction of drift to better than ±20 ppm per year. The system is virtually free of maintenance and typically has a lifetime of more than 10 years.

CO2 transmitters can be utilized in a broad range of applications including Air Quality monitoring in buildings. CO2 concentration levels in buildings are monitored to provide an indication of occupancy and to drive a ventilation control strategy. An effective DCV (Demand Controlled Ventilation) strategy will conserve energy and maintain indoor air quality.

The new Ventostat® T8031 Duct Mount CO2 Transmitter is one of the smallest in-duct CO2 sensors on the market! Take advantage of this modest form factor to accommodate small diameter (6”) HVAC return air ducts or utilize the T8041 Duct Mount Probe to measure CO2 concentrations in larger air ducts. Both products offer a standard analog 0 to 10 volt output, mounting hardware, and simple mounting instructions.
