Snifi t

 

  Model 50

Carbon Monoxide Analyzer

Introduction

Designed for HVAC professionals and utility person-

nel, the Sni

fi

 t Model 50 Analyzer is ideal for measuring 

low levels of CO in ambient air such as in rooms and 

garages, or around registers, furnaces, stoves, water 

heaters, and other types of combustion appliances. 

The Sni

fi

 t samples the surrounding air and shows the 

detected concentration of CO on its Liquid Crystal Dis-

play. The Sni

fi

 t is 

not 

intended to be used in 

fl

 ue gases 

or in temperatures exceeding 104 °F (40 °C).

Features

• Measures and displays 0 to 1999 ppm CO in room air

• Sensitive CO sensor will last up to 2 years

• Backlight for viewing in dark areas

• Compact pocket size

• Low battery indication

• Manual zero adjust

• Factory calibrated on 100 ppm CO

• Simple 

fi

 eld calibration

• Auto power-off after 35 minutes

• Single 9V battery (included) provides at least

supplied; then reassemble the instrument.

5. Wait 30 minutes; then calibrate the new sensor. 

Figure 3. Battery 

Location

3.  Push the Calibration Cup over the sensor housing.

4.  Attach a CO Span Gas Cylinder to the regulator. 

Then apply span gas to the sensor by adjusting the 

regulator knob for a 

fl

 ow rate of 2 SCFH.

5.  Allow span gas to 

fl

 ow until the displayed reading 

stabilizes – approx. 3 minutes. Then, using Calibra-

tion Tool 0006-9453 (supplied in Calibration Tool / 

Cup Kit 0019-3242), turn the 

Span Adjust

 poten-

tiometer until the displayed reading matches the 

concentration stamped on the Span Gas Cylinder.

6.  Calibration is now complete. Turn off the Regulator 

and remove the calibration equipment.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Remove slotted screw from rear 

of instrument; then lift off front 

case.  

Replace 9V Alkaline battery 

(Duracell MN1604 or equiv.) in 

location shown in Figure 3; then 

reinstall front case.

Sensor Replacement

The sensor needs replaced when 

it can no longer be calibrated to the Span Gas Cylinder 

value using the 

Span Adjust

 potentiometer, or if it no 

longer responds to a CO source.

1.  See Figure 4. Remove the screw from the rear of the 

instrument; then lift off the front case and remove 

the printed circuit board assembly.

2.  Unplug the old sensor and remove its gasket. Dis-

card both items properly.

3.  Inspect the sensor 

fi

 lter. Replace the 

fi

 lter if it has 

become contaminated with dirt.
