Consumer and General user Applications
Automobiles (Planes, Trains, and Boats too!)
Any vehicle with a gas or diesel engine will produce potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Sensorcon’s portable carbon monoxide meters will alarm if an unsafe situation arises ensuring the safety of all that are aboard. Bus drivers, truckers, and pilots are particularly encouraged to consider using a portable carbon monoxide detector. (This goes for Trucks, Buses, Cars, Trains, Small Planes, Recreational Vehicles, Motor homes, House Boats, Cabin Cruisers, Trailers, and other RV’s)
Property Owners
Most people have cheap fixed carbon monoxide detectors (e.g. wall or ceiling mounted). These are good to sound an alarm at high CO levels, but don’t work for low concentrations. Sensorcon’s portable carbon monoxide detectors can help property owners measure low levels of carbon monoxide and actually identify the source of CO if there is any present.
Travelers
Many hotels, motels, Inns, and other lodging facilities are not required to have carbon monoxide alarms in their rooms. Carrying your own personal carbon monoxide detector can insure your safety in such facilities, as well as in cars, taxis, a bus, trains, airplanes, boats, ferries, and parking garages.

Professional Applications
Combustion Efficiency
High levels of carbon monoxide in flue stack gas is a critical indication of insufficient combustion. A CO meter with a flue probe and sample pump can easily diagnose such problems.
Indoor Air Quality
Assessments of excess carbon monoxide concentrations in confined living and working environments enables proper corrective action, including maintenance and repair of furnaces, boilers, wood stoves, water heaters, ventilation ducts, and chimneys.
Fire Departments and Emergency Responders
A carbon monoxide incident call may be a life threatening situation. A portable CO detector will ensure personal safety for responders as well as permit identification of potential sources of carbon monoxide.
Identify trouble with furnaces, boilers, hot water heaters, clothes dryers, cooking equipment, chimneys, and other sources of insufficiently vented CO emissions.
Monitor Lethal CO Levels
HVAC Service
Troubleshoot equipment problems by determining the source of elevated CO emissions like cracked heat exchangers and flue obstructions. By always carrying your “powered on” portable CO detector with you during every service call you may be alerted to venting problems leading to the discovery of additional equipment troubles that were unanticipated, thereby leading to increased sales and service opportunities.

Installers of Fireplaces & Stoves
Ensure customer satisfaction and avoid potential liability issues by verifying the combustion efficiency and venting for the products you install. A portable CO meter with sample probe and hand pump provides a simple combustion efficiency analysis, as well as aiding in the detection of leaks in the exhaust stack path, chimney cracks, and ventilation problems due to obstructions caused by blockages or bent and crushed flue pipes. (This relates to any installers of Fireplaces, Wood Burning Stoves, Pellet Stoves, Pot Belly Stoves, Gas Fire Place Inserts, and Wood Burning Inserts)
Plumbers
Gas fired hot water heaters are a source of carbon monoxide emission which can become troublesome when burner combustion is inefficient or when flue pipes are clogged or improperly vented.
Property Managers
If you own, operate, or maintain apartments, condominiums, hotels, motels, restaurants, banquet halls, office buildings, shopping plazas, or sporting facilities you can prevent a potential situation of tenants or guests being overcome by carbon monoxide poisoning by always carrying your carbon monoxide meter. Taking a proactive approach toward the detection of CO during your normal routine can aid in the discovery of problems with heating and cooking equipment as well as ventilation troubles.
