4GS Carbon Dioxide Sensor
0–2000 ppm, Field Adjustable to 0–5000 ppm, Non–Dispersive Infrared Sensor


0–2000 ppm, field adjustable to 0–5000 ppm
Indoor air quality
Non–dispersive infrared sensor
Dual lamp Virtual Reference™
Field selectable outputs and relay points
Proven history and quality


The 4GS is part of our gas sensor family for the low CO2 concentrations (0–2000 ppm field adjustable to 0–5000 ppm), typically used for indoor air quality applications. It uses a very proven, discriminating non–dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor with a second lamp acting as a reference channel for improved longer term stability.

Combined with Sensata’s use of a second lamp as a reference channel and our patented software, the 4GS units only need to be calibrated every 3 years and attain excellent:
  • long–term stability
  • accuracy
  • repeatability
