Vaisala Introduces a New Series of Host Devices with Indigo201

VAISALA CORPORATION                                             PRESS RELEASE                                           JANUARY 30, 2017

 

The currently available Indigo compatible CO2 probes, GMP251 and GMP252, are designed for harsh and humid environments. They are used in life science incubators, agriculture, cold storages, and in demanding HVAC applications, such as swimming halls.

 

"Today, carbon dioxide is more and more often used, for example, in refrigeration systems, because it is more environmental friendly and has a lower impact on global warming than the restricted CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants," says Maria Uusimaa, Product Manager at Vaisala. At the same time it is important in these systems to monitor the CO2 levels with reliable measurements for human safety. 

 

The Indigo201 uses a wireless user interface for easy configuration:  Users can easily configure the host using any device with a WLAN connection, such as a laptop, computer or a mobile phone. Also temporary viewing of measurement data of the attached Indigo compatible probe can be done wirelessly.  

 

The host also allows for minimal downtime as the probe can be easily removed and changed to a new one. Users can also calibrate the probe with the help of Indigo201. 

 

The measurement result can be shown on the display, or be converted into other formats, for example, analog output signals and for relay activation. These features are useful in various control and monitoring systems, and the relays can be used even to build small scale system to e.g. turn on/off a fan or giving an alarm. 

 

Product Manager Maria Uusimaa gives a presentation at AHR Expo in Las Vegas USA, on Tuesday 31 January, speaking of the advantages the Indigo201 host and the new smart CO2 probes have for demanding HVAC applications. Come and meet us at AHR, stand C-1053.
