SENSEAIR S12 CO₂ Sensor: Compact NDIR Technology

Ultra-Compact CO₂ Sensor for Modern Electronics Solutions

With the new S12 CO₂ sensor, SENSEAIR is setting new standards in CO₂ measurement technology. The sensor combines proven NDIR technology (Non-Dispersive Infrared Technology) with an extremely space-saving design, opening up new possibilities for building automation, smart home systems, and battery-powered air quality sensors. Measuring only 18×15×7mm, the S12 is approximately 75% smaller than previous models and is therefore ideally suited for applications where installation space is limited.

Precise CO₂ Measurement Based on Proven NDIR Technology

The SENSEAIR S12 measures CO₂ concentration directly using an optical NDIR measurement method, delivering stable and reliable measurement results over many years. In Non-Dispersive Infrared Technology, infrared light is directed through a gas chamber. Since CO₂ molecules absorb specific wavelengths of light, the reduction in light intensity detected by the sensor can be used to precisely determine the gas concentration.

Thanks to its low power consumption, the sensor is particularly suitable for battery-powered and wireless IoT devices as well as energy-efficient building concepts. The available SMD (Surface-Mount Device) capability also enables direct integration into modern electronics manufacturing processes and supports efficient high-volume production.

Versatile Applications in Building Automation and IoT

The compact CO₂ sensor was developed for a wide range of applications where reliable air quality monitoring is required in a very small form factor. Typical application areas include:

  • Smart building and building automation systems
  • Demand-controlled ventilation systems
  • Indoor air quality monitoring
  • Battery-powered CO₂ monitors
  • HVAC systems and smart thermostats
  • IoT and embedded applications

Supporting International Standards for Sustainable Buildings

The S12 complies with relevant international requirements, including ASHRAE, RESET, and WELL standards. This allows the sensor to support sustainable building concepts and energy-efficient ventilation solutions across a wide range of applications worldwide.

Why is the SENSEAIR S12 CO₂ Sensor Suitable for Compact IoT and Air Quality Systems?

The SENSEAIR S12 CO₂ sensor is designed for compact air quality systems, combining high measurement accuracy with a small form factor and low power consumption. These features make it easy to integrate into IoT devices, smart building solutions, and battery-powered indoor air quality monitors.
