The DrägerSensor IR CO2 precisely measures the concentration of carbon dioxide and warns of hazardous gas concentrations.

  • Compatible with the Dräger X-am 5600 and Dräger X-am 8000
  • Works on the principle of infrared absorption and offers high stability in daily use
  • Fast response time in both diffusion and pump mode
  • Measurement of CO2 in ambient air; measuring range 0 to 5 vol.% CO2

Technical data – DrägerSensor IR CO2

Resolution0.01 vol.% CO2 or 50 ppm CO2, depending on the measuring range
Measuring range0 to 5 vol.% CO2
Accuracy (sensitivity)
  • Repeatability at 0 vol.%: ≤ ± 0.01 vol.% CO2
  • Repeatability at 2.5 vol.%: ≤ ± 0.08 vol.% CO2

Long-term drift at 20 °C (68 °F)
  • Zero point: ± 0.005 vol.% CO2/month
  • At 2.5 vol.% CO2: ± 0.1 vol.% CO2/6 months
Environmental conditions
  • Temperature: −20 to 50 °C
  • Humidity: 0 to 95 % RH
  • Pressure: 700 to 1,300 hPa; for the CO2 range, 800 to 1,100 hPa
Effect of temperatureZero point: ≤ ± 0.0002 vol.% CO2/K; at 2.5 vol.% CO2: ≤ ± 0.0015 vol.% CO2/K
Effect of humidityZero point: ≤ 0.0001 vol.% CO2/% RH
Test gas2.0 vol.% CO2 in air. Before safety-critical measurements the calibration must be checked and adjusted if necessary.
