Gastec CO-50AE Carbon Monoxide Sensor

The Gastec CO-50AE Carbon Monoxide Sensor represents a professional-grade solution for technical teams and system integrators focusing on hazardous gas detection. At its core, the sensor employs the controlled potential electrolysis method. This sensing technology maintains a specific electrochemical state to ensure the highly selective oxidation of Carbon Monoxide molecules, providing a stable electrical output that is directly proportional to the gas concentration.

As part of the CM-5B series, this sensor is optimized for fixed installations. Its integrated design features dual gas inlet ports for secure tubing connections and a pre-wired harness assembly to simplify the installation process. By using this specialized electrochemical architecture, the sensor minimizes cross-sensitivity to interfering gases, ensuring that your safety monitoring systems provide reliable data even in complex industrial environments.
