A Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector is a device that detects the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas in order to prevent inhalation of this deadly poisonous gas. CO is a colorless and odorless compound produced by incomplete combustion.
It is often referred to as the “silent killer” because it is virtually undetectable without a proper detection sensor. Elevated levels of CO can be dangerous to you and your loved ones, depending on the amount present and length of exposure. Low percentage concentrations can be harmful over longer periods of time while increasing concentrations can be deadly . 6500 ppm can cause death in less than 30 minutes.
CO Detectors are designed to measure CO levels over time and sound an alarm before dangerous levels of CO accumulate in an environment giving adequate warning to safely ventilate the area or evacuate. Some system-connected detectors also alert a monitoring service that can dispatch emergency services if necessary.
Similar detectors are available for both Natural Gas and Propane.
