Detcon Model IR-640 Detectors are non-intrusive "smart" sensors designed to detect and monitor carbon dioxide.
The available detection ranges are 0-0.3%, 0-1%, 0-3% and 0-5% by volume.
The sensor assembly consists of a miniature infrared optical sensor in a stainless steel housing that includes a splash guard with integral cal port, a pluggable control emitter circuit, a basic connection board and an explosion-proof enclosure.
