FENTON MI, USA — Scientists, environmental and agricultural engineers who need to measure indoor and outdoor changes in carbon dioxide levels now have a new tool available with the introduction of the K-33 CO2 sensor.

The K-33 is a low-power sensor that measures carbon dioxide, temperature and relative humidity. Up to 5,400 data points can be stored in on-board memory and downloaded later for analysis.

With its unique “sleep” mode enabled, the sensor can be powered by four AA batteries, and can remotely record atmospheric conditions for weeks or months at a time.

“These sensors open up whole new possibilities for research and new product development,” according to Ray Hicks, President of CO2Meter.com.

“Dozens of companies and universities have told us about projects they are working on, from crop studies to carbon sequestration where these new sensors will be invaluable.”

For rapid application prototyping or scientific experiments, an inexpensive open source SDK (software development kit) is available for the K-33 sensor. This kit enables I2C, UART (serial), analog and digital outputs via a USB connection.

The software allows the user to both read the sensor data log as well as program dozens of parameters for custom applications.

    What is the fundamental principle of physics that is used to measure the concentration of CO2 in the air? It appears that there is a correction factor for humidity that has to be applied-Is this correct?

  2. Mark Lemon says:

    IR is read by a sensor at the end of a tube filled with ambient air. The amount of deflection is used to compute the CO2 content in the sample. Humidity effect is minimized via filters.
