CO71A

Carbon 

Monoxide Detector

INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Introduction

The CO71A is used to monitor Carbon Monoxide 
(CO) levels in commercial and residential living 
spaces, warehouse operations, combustion engine 
repair facilities, public facilities and any other  
indoor areas where people may work or live. The 
full-featured, compact design of the CO71A allows 
for easy use in most any working environment.

Features include

     • One button ON with Auto Zero   
     • Measures from 0 to 999 PPM CO
     • Captures maximum value
     • Preset alarms
      

• Visual three color LED

      

• Audible tone

     • Data Hold
     • Back lit display
     • Low battery indication
     • 5 year expected sensor life (3 year warranty)

           WARNING!

This instrument should only be used by trained and 
competent persons, after due considerations of any 
risks involved.

 

            Carbon Monoxide is life threatening even at  
relatively low concentrations. Be sure you understand the 
risks before investigating potential leaks.

Instructions

ON/OFF (      button)

The CO71A is operated by a single button for ON and OFF.   
It is designed for use in ambient air, ranging in  temperature 
from 32 to 104°F (0 to 40°C). When the unit is switched 
ON (Only switch ON outdoors or where no CO is present) 
it automatically zeros in 50 seconds. During countdown the 
display shows time remaining  as two digits. 

Turn ON countdown

 

When the countdown reaches 00 the meter will set its 
sensor to zero and display CO concentration using        
three digits.

Normal display

CO PPM

Hold down the ON/OFF key to switch the meter OFF,        
the display will show a single digit and count down for        
9 seconds.

Turn OFF countdown

If turned off accidentally, press the button again to cancel.

Note:

 

The meter will not automatically shut off. This  is to 

avoid interruption during a test. To conserve  battery life, 
be sure to turn off your CO71A when not  in use.

MAX button

Maximum value display

Press MAX to display the highest reading detected while 
the meter is switched ON.

HOLD button

Holds value when button is pressed

Freezes the display with the CO reading at the time  
the HOLD button is pressed. Press again to display   
current value.

Visual Indicator

The LED on the top of the CO71A lights and changes 
color when CO levels increase  or decrease.

These values are based on environmental and health 
standards as listed in table 1.

Checking For CO

•  Zero unit in fresh air

•  Carry the meter to area to be tested

•  View results on display

Note:

 

Ensure that the sensor grille at the rear of  

the instrument is free from obstruction. A quick 
instrument check can be performed by smoke  
from a blown out match. Let smoke enter the  
sensor grille. This will cause the indicated CO level 
to increase.

The CO71A is designed for ambient testing only. DO 
NOT place the instrument in flue gas or warm air 
streams.
