“do you think the CO monitor is working properly?”

Jeff,

Good question. Have I seen a “calibration test result” for this particular unit? No.

The first time I turned it on was in my hanger without the heaters on. It read zero. I then started all the diesel heater and placed the meter about 10 foot in front. I expected to find some CO – but the meter stayed on zero? Then took it in “the tent” and fired up the 4 propane catalytic heaters. Waited a few minutes, again expecting to have some CO – but the meter stayed on zero? Hmmm – same question – is this thing working properly? I then started up the propane turbo heater and immediately got an indication of CO – it quickly went up to 17 PPM and settled at 13. After 10 minutes I turned the heater off and the meter very quickly returned to zero. Lots of ventilation. I left the meter on during the day and moved it around the hanger – reading stayed at zero.

My trust was still in question so to verify my earlier test I started the propane turbo again – same results.

At the end of the day I started my vehicle and went back into the hanger to gather my stuff and the meter started squawking at me. It was reading in the 30’s. I was surprised by that but it gave me an indication of its sensitivity. I left it on, put it and my stuff in the car. The meter went to zero.

Repeated the procedure the next day – same results.

Tested it at home in a closed garage. Started the car (different vehicle) and the reading quickly went to 57 and after a couple of minutes settled on 53. Turned the car off and the meter slowly returned to zero as the air changes occurred.

So – I’ll continue to use the monitor for reference. I’ll continue to “make some CO” now and then to see the meter move off the zero reading. I’ll continue to monitor other indications for the presence of CO.

Yes – I do think the CO monitor is working properly.
