Product Description
This monitor ONLY Detects (CO) Carbon Monoxide. Nothing else. Designed primarily for industrial and commercial applications, the Sensorcon INSPECTOR displays carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations as low as 1 ppm and features visual and audible alerts, with low level (35 ppm) and high level (200 ppm) alert limits. Even with a presumed presence of CO, (Carbon Monoxide), a measurement of 0ppm is not uncommon. An easy to read LCD displays CO up to 1,999 ppm in 1 ppm increments with +/- 10%, ( or +/- 2 ppm), accuracy. (NOTE: Whichever value is higher) Use as a personal monitor, ambient air monitor, or to inspect combustion equipment using the optional pump and probe. Unlike other similarly priced CO monitors, Sensorcon units are designed for long-term ownership. Replacement battery, sensor, and calibration services are available. Manufacturer warranty is one year.
All Sensorcon units are low-level monitors which display carbon monoxide levels as low as 1 ppm. This particular model sounds the low level alert when carbon monoxide levels are measured from 35 to 199 ppm, and the high level alert from 200 ppm and higher.

I don't have equipment to test this thing for accuracy but after several years of very frequent use, I am convinced that it works reliably and is likely far more accurate that my use requires.
I was not aware that a freshly opened can of coffee grounds contains a high level of carbon monoxide. I open a can of coffee in the vicinity of my unit and its alarm started beeping. I didn't know what the cause was, but eventually I put it near the coffee and the reading went above the upper limit of the device. It seemed to damage the unit. I could not get it to work again, but the next morning it seemed to be functioning normally again. Keep it away from car exhausts especially when the car is cold and just being started, and keep it away from freshly open coffee grounds and you will be very happy with this CO sensor.
I happened to have it with me when I dined in a small restaurant, and as the chef at the far end of the restaurant, lit the stove and began cooking my meal, I could see the unit register trace levels of carbon monoxide. When he shut it down, the numbers went back to zero.
At home I was able to check my furnace, my water heater and units for a few friends. I am well satisfied with this purchase.
The low level warning audible limit at 35ppm has tripped a few times in our small airplanes on descent. I'm able to hear that over my noise canceling headphones and the hum of the engine, although it does take a second to recognize what the alarm is. I haven't heard the upper limit trip yet.
I'm no expert on these; what I learned when researching this product is that the sensor in this and several other handheld devices are chemically based, and thus, need to be periodically calibrated and have the sensor replaced. Maybe future advancements will change the need for that in other devices. For now though, this satisfies my needs.
I've seen complaints on here that this works out to effectively $0.25/day for protection. But how much is your life worth? And do you buy life insurance? $1mm term for someone in their 40s is a little over $1.00 per day. That does nothing to ensure you are living, it simply provides a payout if they lose the gamble and you die. They pay your survivors, not you. This device helps to make sure you don't have to worry about that.
The device can be recalibrated and have sensors replaced by the manufacturer. The cost of that, and whether that's worth it to you or not, I can't speak to that. But for myself, I'll happily buy a new one of these every two years.
