Carbon Dioxide Probe for Demanding Measurements
model GMP343


The GMP343 is available as an open path, diffusion aspirated model (left) and as a flowthrough
model (right).

Features/Benefits
• Excellent accuracy and stability
• Vaisala CARBOCAP® Sensor, a silicon-based non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor
• A single-beam, dual-wavelength CO2 measurement with no moving parts
• Compensation options for temperature, pressure, humidity and oxygen
• Low power consumption and heat emission
• Designed for outdoor use
• Compact and lightweight

The Vaisala CARBOCAP® Carbon Dioxide Probe GMP343 is an accurate and rugged probe-type instrument for ecological measurements. Typical applications include:
• CO2 soil respiration
• Ambient CO2 monitoring
• Plant growth chambers
• OEM applications

Open path, diffusion aspirated probe
The product concept eliminates the need for bulky and power-consuming gas sampling systems. The power consumption of the GMP343 itself is low, even below 1 W.

Novel solution for soil respiration measurements
The use of diffusion aspiration eliminates the measurement error caused by pressure differences often present in pump-aspirated measurement systems.

Rugged metal structure
The body of the GMP343 is IP67- classified and suitable for harsh environments. The sensor’s diffusion filter protects it from dust and dirt. Heated optics prevent the formation of condensation.

User-configurable measurement
The GMP343 can output both numerically filtered and raw measurement data. The instrument can also compensate the measurement with an internal temperature measurement and user-set relative humidity, pressure and oxygen values.

MI70
In combination with an MI70 indicator, the GMP343 provides an ideal tool for accurate in-situ measurement. The MI70 is used as a display, communication, and data-login device. To achieve most accurate measurements, a Vaisala HMP75 humidity probe can be connected to the MI70 indicator for automatic humidity compensation. In that case a manual compensation is not needed. The optional MI70 Link Windows® software allows transferring logged and real-time data of the GMP343 from the MI70 to a PC.

Calibration
Each GMP343 is calibrated using ±0.5 % accurate gases at 0 ppm, 200 ppm, 370 ppm, 600 ppm, 1000 ppm, 4000 ppm and 2 %. Calibration is also done at four temperature points, -30 °C, 0 °C, 25 °C and 50 °C. If needed, the customer can recalibrate the instrument using the multipoint calibration (MPC) feature allowing up to 8 user-defined calibration points. With the optional mounting flange, the GMP343 can for example be installed directly into a soil respiration box. The diffusion-aspirated probe eliminates sampling systems and errors related to pressure differences caused by pumps.
