Carbon Monoxide Detector

At higher levels, between 2500 and 3000 ppm, headaches or shortness of breath can occur, and concentrations above that are lethal. As this gas is not detectable by our senses at room temperature, we need a device that will immediately alert us if the concentration of carbon monoxide rises above the critical level. The device quickly and reliably measures the amount of CO2 in the air. By using the sensor, headaches and sickness can be avoided.

What are the benefits of using a carbon monoxide detector?

One of the most important aspects, the protection of your health, has already been discussed above. But in addition, carbon monoxide detectors also help to minimise our energy costs. After all, if there is a leak in the system that is not yet causing us any health symptoms, our wallets will be sorry for our inattention. But we can use these devices not only at home, but also in offices and workplaces, where there is a risk of leaks in many workplaces, such as restaurants and boiler rooms, where large amounts of carbon monoxide above 5000 ppm can also accumulate and pose a health risk.

What units are used to measure carbon monoxide in air?

Carbon monoxide in air is measured in parts per million (ppm), which is an abbreviation for parts per million. So appm gives us, for example, the amount of carbon monoxide in the air per million units.

The carbon monoxide detector records the measured values and gives an alarm if the concentration is dangerous

As mentioned above, carbon monoxide concentrations are dangerous when they exceed a certain level. Yes, but it does matter what level you set, because in public institutions such as schools and museums, where there are large spaces and rooms, even a measurement range of 5000 ppm is not a problem, whereas in a small apartment it can be fatal. Therefore, we must always set the device for the right airspace.

What other functions does the carbon monoxide detector have?

Not only can you use a CO2 detector to detect carbon monoxide, but it also has other convenience features. For example, they also measure values such as temperature and humidity. Some multifunction CO2 detectors also have a time and alarm clock function.

How often do carbon monoxide sensors measure the CO2 concentration in the air?

These devices usually check the CO2 concentration in the air every few minutes.

How accurately do CO2 detectors measure the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air?

These types of devices usually have a measurement accuracy of between ± 50 and 100 ppm, which gives us complete confidence.

Why choose an Emos carbon monoxide detector?

The Emos brand of carbon monoxide detectors available in the DND Telecom webshop will help you to keep your home safe at all times. At least against carbon monoxide poisoning. The device emits an 85 dB audible alarm, loud enough to be heard from a distance of 3 metres, but also loud enough to wake you from your sleep.

The Emos carbon monoxide detector runs on 2 x 1.5 V AA batteries and works perfectly at temperatures between -10°C and 40°C. You should make sure that the humidity in the room where you place this device is between 15 and 93 percent. You can also opt for a device that transmits data to your mobile phone via WiFi, so you can easily monitor the air cleanliness of your home remotely.

Of course, the device works with both operating systems. According to the manufacturer, the device has a lifespan of 10 years, which is long enough to guarantee the health of your family and co-workers for many years to come with the Emos carbon monoxide detector.
