Overview

0019-9370 Rev 1

The analyzer detects and displays the presence of CO by first drawing in a gas

sample from the area being tested by the analyzer’s built-in motorized pump.

The gas sample is next directed into a sensor chamber where the sample is

analyzed for the presence of CO. If CO is detected, the CO ppm level is given on

the analyzer’s main display. A trending screen (accessible from the RUN

screen by using the right or left arrow key) shows dynamic CO levels graphed
