Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet points list
Updated 4 November 2026
The digital GMW95 transmitters measure CO2 and temperature, and the R models add humidity. On BACnet MS/TP each value is an Analog Input; humidity models also give dewpoint, wet bulb, absolute humidity, mixing ratio and enthalpy. Two writable Analog Values set the operating pressure or altitude used for CO2 pressure compensation.
This page lists 12 BACnet objects for the Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP) — 2 of them writable — with each object’s type, instance number, name, engineering units and access. It is re-typed from Vaisala’s own free documentation, linked below.

BMS integration notes: Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP)
Set the protocol, baud rate and MAC address on the DIP switches, give the transmitter a unique device instance, then read CO2 (AI 1), temperature (AI 3) and, on humidity models, relative humidity (AI 2). If the site is well above sea level, write the altitude (AV 2) or pressure (AV 1) once so the CO2 reading is compensated.
Minimum points to map
The short list most integrators start with — enough to run the unit from a BMS. Map more as the job needs.
| Object | Name | Why | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI 1 | CO2 | CO2 concentration, ppm | Read |
| AI 3 | T | Temperature | Read |
| AI 2 | RH | Relative humidity, % (humidity models) | Read |
Sensors & values from the BMS
AV 1 (operating pressure, hPa) or AV 2 (altitude) can be written by the BMS to compensate the CO2 measurement; the two are linked.
Network setup
- BACnet MS/TP on RS-485. DIP switches select the protocol (BACnet or Modbus) and baud rate: Automatic (default), 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800 or 115200.
- MAC address 0-255 on the 8-way address DIP switch; below 128 the transmitter is an MS/TP master, 128 and up a slave.
- The device instance is set to a unique value at the factory; change it, the device name, description, location and Max_Master with the BACNET service-port command.
- With automatic baud the transmitter listens 10 s at each rate and locks to the first valid traffic until reset or power cycle.
Watch out for
- Baud rate 4800 is not available with BACnet.
- OPER P and OPER Altitude are linked; write only one of them (writing one updates the other).
- Objects depend on the model: models without humidity do not have RH or the calculated values.

Integration notes
- All models have AI 1 (CO2) and AI 3 (T). AI 2, AI 4-10 and the AV 1-2 operating objects are listed for models that include humidity measurement.
- Units: the T object (AI 3) Units property is writable (°C or °F); calculated objects list metric/non-metric unit pairs, with Vaisala-defined units for the non-metric absolute humidity and mixing ratio. The display DIP switch has no effect on BACnet.
- AV 1 OPER P and AV 2 OPER Altitude are linked: writing one recalculates the other.
- Analog Input Present_Value can be written only when Out_Of_Service is set.
- The manual prints the same description 'Dewpoint' for both Td (AI 4) and Tdf (AI 5).

Check it against the live device. A points list tells you what the controller can expose; the unit in front of you may differ by firmware or installed options. This list is provided as-is for reference only and may contain mistakes — confirming it before you write, map or commission anything is up to you (terms). Easy BACnet scans a network for BACnet IP devices from an Android phone, reads every object on the GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP) and exports what it actually has to Excel — free.

Questions about the Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP)
How many BACnet points does the Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP) have?
This list has 12 BACnet objects: 10 analog inputs, 2 analog values. The exact set on a given unit depends on its firmware, installed options and configuration.
Which Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet points are writable?
2 of the 12 objects accept a write. Points marked Command have a priority array: a write holds until it is released, so release it back to automatic when you are done.
Where is the official Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP) BACnet documentation?
The source is GMW90 Series Carbon Dioxide, Temperature, and Humidity Transmitters User's Guide (M211659EN-C), revision 2016-04, published free by Vaisala at https://docs.vaisala.com/api/khub/documents/9qppJ_IBz5JrKtQAoZ~ioQ/content.
What are the minimum BACnet points to integrate the Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP)?
Start with AI 1 CO2 (CO2 concentration, ppm); AI 3 T (Temperature); AI 2 RH (Relative humidity, % (humidity models)).
Can the BMS supply sensor values to the Vaisala GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP)?
AV 1 (operating pressure, hPa) or AV 2 (altitude) can be written by the BMS to compensate the CO2 measurement; the two are linked.
How do I check these points on the real GMW90 series CO2, temperature and humidity transmitter (BACnet MS/TP)?
Scan the network with a BACnet IP browser such as Easy BACnet, open the device and compare its object list with this table. Anything missing is usually an option that isn't installed or a point that is disabled in the controller's configuration.
