Appendix F: Testing for Carbon Monoxide in Ambient Air
The 717 can be used to test for carbon monoxide in ambient air. For example
tests can be performed in work spaces and living areas like offices and houses
to ensure safety.
1. Following the steps outlined on page 8, turn the analyzer on in a clean air
environment away from the area to be tested,
2. After the purge cycle is complete combustion display 1 will be seen. This is
the default start up display and is the display to use when performing this test.
Please see below.
The middle display shows the carbon monoxide level.
For this test, ignore the top display (oxygen).
3. Connect the Mini Pump Protection filter to the analyzer. See picture below.
4. Begin testing for carbon monoxide. Move from space to space to detect any
CO that may be present. The CO reading will be seen in the top part of the dis-
play.
5. If necessary, the flue probe can be attached to test in ducts and plenums.
6. Refer to the chart on page 45 for a list of exposure times and levels of carbon
monoxide in ambient test applications
7. When testing is complete, turn the analyzer off as outlined on page 8.
