9GS Carbon Dioxide Sensor
0–5% or 0–25%, Non–Dispersive Infrared Sensor, Field Selectable Scale and Relay Points


High CO2 concentrations: 0–5% and 0–25%
Non–dispersive infrared sensor
Dual–lamp virtual reference™
Field selectable scale and relay point
Proven history and high quality


The 9GS is part of our gas sensor family for high CO2 concentrations (0–5% and 0–25%), typically used in atmospheric control equipment for incubators and food storage, transportation and processing. It uses a proven, discriminating non–dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensors with a second lamp acting as a reference channel for improved long–term stability.

Combined with TI's use of a second lamp as a reference channel and our patented software, the 9GS units only need to be calibrated every 3 years and attain excellent:
  • long–term stability
  • accuracy
  • repeatability
