Dracal VCP-DXC120 Offers

The DXC120 is a compact and high-performance carbon dioxide (CO2) detector, ideal for monitoring CO2 levels in environments such as homes, workplaces, or any other spaces with moderate conditions. Like all instruments in the DXC series, it is based on advanced non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, ensuring high precision and exceptional stability with its integrated automatic calibration mechanism that compensates for long-term drift. Manual calibration can also be easily performed with a single click via our software for added flexibility.

It offers a typical accuracy of ±(30 ppm + 3%) and repeatability of ±10 ppm, with temperature stability of 2.5 ppm/°C, ensuring consistent and reliable measurements even with temperature variations. With an operational lifespan of 15 years and individual factory calibration, this device is a durable and reliable investment for any application requiring rigorous CO2 monitoring.

Like all Dracal measurement instruments, the DXC120 is compatible with free software tools, making it an essential component of a DAQ solution. For those who wish to integrate the DXC120 into their system, there are two options available: command line tools and VCP mode (VCP- model, sold separately). If you prefer a graphical interface, DracalView is the appropriate choice.
