IRC-AT Carbon Dioxide Sensor
CO2 Gas Sensor, NDIR Thermopile, A-Series, low-power multi-range CO2 measurement
Thermopile NDIR CO2 sensor optimised for IAQ, safety and combustion ranges
The IRC-AT is a compact NDIR CO2 sensor using a thermopile detector that delivers excellent resolution from 0–5,000 ppm up to 0–100 % vol CO2. Configurable IAQ, safety and combustion ranges share universal linearisation coefficients, so OEMs can implement a single linearisation model across sensors. IRC-AT is suited to IAQ and HVAC monitors, fixed gas safety systems, combustion analyzers and process instruments where stable CO2 measurement and repeatable linearity are critical.

Feature |
Benefit |
|
Thermopile-based NDIR design |
Provides stable CO2 measurement with low noise and good long-term repeatability. |
|
Universal linearisation (b, c coefficients) |
Single set of linearisation constants supports multiple CO2 ranges, reducing firmware complexity. |
|
Multiple application ranges (IAQ, safety, combustion, process) |
Allows one sensor SKU to serve several instrument SKUs, simplifying inventory. |
|
Integrated thermistor output |
Supports precise temperature compensation for span and zero. |
|
A-Series pinout with recommended socket |
Simplifies mechanical and electrical integration into existing A-Series platforms. |
