Product Overview

The Venus Solo OEM sensor is a self-contained unit designed for integration into other manufacturers’ equipment and provides a measurement of gas concentration according to specific user requirements. These GFC (Gas Filter Correlation) sensors generate a signal proportional to the infrared absorption of the measured gas.

Providing the gas concentration lies within the designed range of the sensor, the signal is periodically compared with a reference gas. Gas concentrations are indicated through the non-linearised analogue signal output. Gas connections to and from the sensor are via suitable fittings on the gas measuring cell.

The Venus Solo OEM Series sensors electrical supply is designed to accept 24V DC (3amp max).

Our Venus Solo OEM sensor uses GFC (Gas Filter Correlation) technology to give highly accurate gas measurements.

The Venus Solo can be integrated into your own gas analyzer or management system and offers the user a 0-2.5v analogue output.

The sensor is currently available as either: Carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrous oxide (N20), methane (CH4) or nitric oxide (NO). If your application requires a different gas, just let us know and we can customise it to your needs.

The Venus Solo is used in Military applications to protect submariners from carbon monoxide (CO) exposure.
