Gas sensor at ppm level

Gas sensor at ppm level

Gas sensor at ppm level

A small, versatile, and high precision 3-channel NDIR sensor for CH₄ and CO₂ sensing 

A breakthrough in the NDIR sensing! With the K96 proof of concept, Senseair introduces a very novel approach to measure simultaneously 3 different species with one mid-IR source. Senseair K96 is a module that is designed for simple integration into products. Every sensor is individually calibrated and is provided with UART digital interface. It offers new cost-effective alternatives for a wide variety of applications related to GHG (CO₂, NO, CH₄) monitoring.

Key benefits: 

  • 3 species measured simultaneously.
  • High precision
  • Maintenance free
  • Long lifetime
  • Individually calibrated with temperature compensation
  • Possibility to correct cross-sensitivities between gas species using the dedicated NDIR channels.
