About this manual

The GMM220 series are CO₂ transmitter modules that use a silicon‑based CARBOCAP® NDIR sensor. They are available with two probe types (GMP221 for higher concentrations and GMP222 for lower concentrations) and support analog voltage/current outputs as well as a serial interface for data acquisition.

The guide covers mechanical mounting, electrical connections, LED status indicators, serial command protocol, pressure and temperature compensation settings, technical specifications, compliance information, warranty, accessories and support procedures.

Frequently asked questions

What serial port settings are required for communication?

Set the serial port to 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity and no flow control.

How can I change the CO₂ concentration output format?

Use the DISP command with option 2 for ppm or option 4 for percent; for continuous output use MF_MODE with the same options.

What do the LEDs indicate during normal operation?

During normal operation the green LED blinks while the red LED remains off.
