Product catalog summary
Introduction to NDIR CO2 Gas Sensors
The document discusses the principles and applications of Non-Dispersive Infrared (NDIR) CO2 gas sensors, which are highly selective due to the strong infrared absorption of gases with asymmetric molecular structures like CO2. The key components of these sensors include an infrared source, a gas chamber, and an infrared detector. The attenuation of light intensity as it passes through the gas is related to the gas concentration.

Types of NDIR CO2 Gas Sensors
Single Beam CO2 Gas Sensor (CM1106): This sensor integrates a photosensitive device and a narrow-band filter to manage light wavelengths. It requires automatic calibration to maintain accuracy over time, making it suitable for environments with fresh air such as classrooms and offices.
Dual Beam CO2 Gas Sensor (CM1107): This sensor includes an internal reference channel for enhanced stability and accuracy, making it ideal for non-ventilated environments like garages and greenhouses.

Applications
The document outlines application cases for both single and dual beam sensors. Single beam sensors are recommended for ventilated spaces, while dual beam sensors are preferred for areas with limited ventilation.

Difference between single beam and dual beam CO2 sensor-1

NDIR CO2 Gas Sensor Introduction Gas with asymmetric molecular structure has strong absorption of infrared. So CO2 gas sensor NDIR-based has perfect selectivity for gas. Basically, the key components of the sensor are an infrared source, gas chamber and an infrared detector. When light wave corresponded to certain gas with absorption spectrum passes through measured gas, the intensity of light wave will be significantly weakened. The intensity attenuation is related to concentration of measured gas. Generally, it can be grouped into two main categories: single beam and dual beam according to the number beam of infrared detector to increase the indoor particle concentrations range from 1.5 to 27 times.

Difference Between Single Beam and Dual Beam Single beam CO2 gas sensor CM1106 The infrared detector is integrated with a photosensitive device and a narrow-band filter to enable a central wavelength of 4.26um to reflect or attenuate light to other wavelengths at the same time. Dual beam CO2 gas sensor CM1107 In addition to this single channel, CM1107 has an internal reference within the sensor itself. The infrared detector is integrated with two photosensitive devices and two narrow band filters. One channel allows the central wavelength of 4.26um to pass through and another channel is staggered...

Difference between single beam and dual beam CO2 sensor-3

Wall-mounted ventilation machine adopts Cubic two air quality sensors, laser particle PM2.5 sensor PM2008 and NDIR single beam CO2 gas sensor CM1106. The single beam CO2 gas sensor will have drift problem when long time usage, the sensor needs automatic calibration to ensure the accuracy. Thanks to the automatic background calibration function, the sensor could calibrate itself. The sensor will take the lowest CO2 reading as the zero point (400 ppm) within several days. In ventilated environment, the lowest CO2 concentration is close to 400 ppm. So the single beam CO2 sensor is suggested to be...
