Details: The original FORENSICS DETECTORS vehicle and aircraft CO gas detector, made with HIGH-QUALITY Japanese sensor technology for MAX protection. Low-level alarming to prevent CO exposure from exhaust leaks or polluted air entering the vehicle. Have peace of mind and take preventative care to avoid headaches, nausea, and fatigue. The FORENSICS carbon monoxide detector was specifically designed with "reliability and ease of use" for POLICE, Ford Explorer owners (NHTSA Investigation "Ford Explorer Exhaust Odor"), emergency vehicles, aircraft pilots, truck drivers, UBER, fleet vehicles, personal vehicle operation, and personal protection for travel. CO alarms are set at 9 ppm with red LED & 25 ppm with an audible buzzer sound (70 dB). To ensure maximum protection, alarm levels were chosen as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), and American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH). The CO alarm includes smart detection algorithms, a high-quality sensor made in Japan, and a product assembled in the PRC. The small, modern, aluminum-alloy body gives a real "metal finish" high-quality touch at only 2 oz. Comes with a robust case and a 3M stick-on mount option. Regular CO alarms for the home are too slow, alarming in 60 to 240 minutes over 70 ppm - allowing fatigue and drowsiness to lead to accidents. The FORENSICS CO detector has been tested and confirmed at high altitudes for aircraft reliability. One-button operation makes it easy for anybody to operate. Also comes in a white version, called the CO Travel Detector which has exactly the same specs. An alternative is the FD-600-CO, which does have a built-in pump, making it the best candidate for point sampling and leak detection
Included: CO detector with 2 x CR2032 batteries installed, plastic sleeve mount, extra 2x CR2032 batteries and a user manual.
