Belimo Introduces a New Sensor that you need to know about

We all know that when Belimo gets involved in a technology they are only interested in creating and being the best in that domain. Think about how they changed the game with direct coupled actuators and the Belimo energy valve. If you have been following ControlTrends, you know that Belimo entered the smart sensor game a couple of years ago. Belimo’s intention is clear, they want to change the HCAC and Smart Building  sensor game. So it is no surprise that they are taking  CO2 sensors to a new standard..

What is dual channel technology and why should you care..

Accuracy and Repeatability! This saves time and money!

The dual channel technology measures two-wave lengths split from a single light source. The sensor automatically takes a reading using the reference channel. Any change in the measurement indicates a change in the optics of the sensor.

The sensors automatically adjusts the CO₂ measurement when a change is detected to prevent drift. 

Manual calibration is not needed.

 High accuracy is maintained even in busy applications such as retail stores or hospitals.

Add a temperature sensor and you have the perfect product for..

 applications requiring 24/7 hours of operation such as hospitals, retail stores, manufacturing, and indoor farming.

Also think about…

Greenhouses, indoor farming, and hydroponic growers have expressed their need to monitor CO₂and temperature levels accurately. CO₂ levels are essential for maximizing plant growth. Our high accuracy CO₂/temperature sensors provide the opportunity for grow farmers to really boost their profit while increasing plant yields and reducing cropping time
