In-vehicle CO2 Meter
CO2 itself is not really that dangerous, but it can lead to poor concentration relatively quickly. Under certain circumstances dangerous situations may arise from this, for example while driving a closed vehicle. To warn you of this a fast responding CO2 meter was developed specifically for in-vehicle use.

Specifications:

- 12 V operation (via cigarette lighter socket)
- Instantly ready for use
- Warns with indicator LEDs when CO2 concentration is too high
- Suitable for measurements of up to 3000 ppm of CO2

 

ZG01C specifications

- Measuring range : 0–3000 ppm / 0.3%

- Temperature range : 0–50 °C

- Humidity range : 0–95%

- Warming-up time CO2 : <60 s

- Measuring interval : 7 s

- Accuracy : ±50 ppm or 5% of the measured value
