The detector
(made of non-toxic materials) has a convenient adhesive strip on the back, and
mounts almost anywhere. It can detect as little as 100ppm (parts per million)
carbon monoxide gas at approximate relative humidity range of 33 to 50%. If the
humidity is very high it can detect concentrations as low as 20ppm.
The presence of CO will change the 'impregnated silica' color change from red to
red/brown and then to gray/black as the concentration levels increase. Once the
detector is exposed to fresh air it will return back to red.
Shelf life in an
unopened pack is approximately 2 to 3 years (expiration date is visible through
unopened package); once opened it should be replaced approximately
every 90 days.
The detector will
be inactivated and damaged by the presence of halogens (iodine, chlorine,
bromine), and ammoniac or nitrous gases. Persons with cats may not be able to
use the detector due to the presence of ammonia in the air from the cat litter
box. Also, the detector is not an appropriate device for detecting CO gas in
connection with diesel engines.
