Laser 5524 CO2 Leak Detector,Green

Product Information

engineers and other professional users as handheld tools to detect CO2 presence in dangerous environments. UL-Listed: For peace of mind, and better assurance of their functionality and operational safety, your gas leak detectors should reflect the UL Listed mark, to indicate they have been tested by and meet the safety standards of the Underwriter Laboratories, a third-party organization that conducts rigorous independent research and analyzes safety data to develop standards to guide the safe, sustainable commercialization of evolving technologies. I would highly recommend the SAN-13 to anyone using compressed CO2 gas as part of their daily operations. It satisfies all my requirements for a high quality and effective device for this purpose in that it's solidly built, responsive, accurate, and intuitive to use." Put it somewhere high up, near a gas or fossil burning appliance. Learn more about where to put it Need to know more? Why should I have a CO alarm?

generally have the best range, while lower-priced devices have a smaller range and are thus better suitedSensitivity: Sensors with adjustable and greater sensitivity make it easier to identify the source of the gas leak. Yes. Since it’s small and battery operated, you can even take it with you to your camping trips – in fact, a surprising number of carbon monoxide incidents happen on camping trips. When do I need to replace my alarm? While our engineers haven't yet gotten hands on with the EG Air in our Lab, they're impressed by many of its features. First and foremost, this well-priced detector comes equipped with a six-foot extension cord so you can plug it into an outlet and mount it near the ceiling to detect natural gas or near the floor to detect propane.

Toxic gases like carbon monoxide: Exposure to high levels of colorless, odorless carbon monoxide (CO) from a leaking appliance or a vehicle running in an attached garage is harmful, and can be fatal. These gases are lighter than air, so detectors should be placed high in a room to detect potential leaks. Toxic gases are identified by electrochemical and metal oxide semiconductor technologies. Throughout your home, you may need multiple gas leak detectors, especially if you have more than one bedroom or level. Most of the sensors we recommend will operate continuously, usually for years, to alert you if a gas leak is detected. These detectors are not designed to identify the exact source of a leak. Utility companies strongly caution homeowners against searching for the source if they have been alerted to a potential gas leak.

What is a CO2 leak gas detector?

Carbon dioxide leaks can be deadly even when normal oxygen levels are present. The majority of commercial refrigeration systems, restaurant soda dispensers, indoor grow facilities, brewery fermentation tanks, and draft beer coolers contain high concentrations of CO2 where potential leaks can occur. App-based alerts: Some devices can send data via an app to your smart phone, via WiFi or Bluetooth, to let you monitor the situation even if you’re not there. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on where to put a gas leak detector. Whether the device is plugged into a wall outlet, or is battery operated and mounted on a wall or ceiling, it's important that these detectors are installed in the optimum location so that they have the best chance of detecting a gas leak and alerting you. For example, you'll install a natural gas (methane) detector near a gas appliance. Since natural gas and carbon monoxide is lighter than air and rises, detectors should be placed higher in a room. Meanwhile, propane is heavier than air and sinks, so the sensor should be situated lower to accommodate. aren't affected by too much carbon dioxide. These detectors are also commonly used by professional gas In Jeremy's instance, he knew that CO2 was a potential hazard in most indoor spaces like breweries and a potential danger his staff could encounter.

Combustible gases: Natural gas, mostly comprising methane and propane, have an additive called mercaptan that smells like rotten eggs — but if you’re not in the immediate area where the source is, you might not smell that leak until it’s catastrophically too late. Combustible gas detectors use catalytic and infrared sensors, and since propane gas is heavier than air, detectors should be placed low to the ground. You may need additional sensors placed strategically around your home. According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA), carbon monoxide detectors should be installed in a central location outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home and in other locations where required by applicable laws, codes or standards.

You cannot tell if you have a leak without a CO2 gas detector. What is a CO2 leak gas detector? Stationary devices: These gas leak detectors are installed either on the ceiling or high up on a wall, or in another specific location as directed. They sense toxic gas leaks (like carbon monoxide) or combustible gases (like propane or natural gas); some units also detect smoke. They run continuously and are either battery powered or hardwired to the home’s electrical system. If the device is plugged into an outlet, it should come equipped with an extension so that the sensor can be located higher up the wall to accommodate different gases.

General characteristics

Type of gas: It’s important to understand which gases can be detected by the device and which won’t be. Some detectors can identify more than one gas and some can detect smoke. But don’t make the incorrect assumption that a CO detector will also detect a natural gas leak: Unless it specifically says it will, it won’t.
