Senseair releases new CO2 sensing module

JAPAN: Senseair has announced the launch of Senseair S88, a compact and maintenance-free CO2 sensing module, said to be ideal for indoor air quality monitoring and building automation control. 

The S88 uses non-dispersive infrared technology and features Senseair’s proprietary ABC, automatic baseline correction, technology. According to Senseair, the ABC algorithm constantly tracks measurement deviations, enhancing long-term accuracy and reliability without the need for third party interaction with the sensor. 

The S88’s compact form factor (8.7 x 33.9 x 19.8mm), 15+ year life expectancy, and maintenance-free approach make it a good fit for industrial environments where space and accessibility can present a challenge, the manufacturer says.

Similarly, the S88 is pin-compatible with other popular Senseair products and some competing solutions, eliminating the need for costly re-design efforts.

The S88 has high precision across a wide measurement range of 400ppm to 10,000ppm and features an operating temperature range of <50ºC and a humidity range of <85%RH. 

The S88 module’s accuracy is said to align with the latest standards ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2022 Addendum ab, RESET grade B, and WELL Building Standard WELL v2.

Senseair, a subsidiary of Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation, will begin mass production of the S88 in April.
