Do You Analyze Your Gas for CO?

Who is your friend? I would like to buy one.

The two options I know of are the manufacturer (Sensorcon) and Chipoladivers. Make sure you get what you need, the package contents may be slightly different, the same with the service. I bought mine from Chipoladivers, the $129 sale price includes the sensor and a DIN/flow restrictor assembly. Sensorcon has it for $99.99 but for all I can tell without the DIN assembly.

Just bought one from Chipola as a back up to my primary unit.

Sorry, haven't read anything, but I am in the US next month and an considering buying one. How often do you need to replace the sensor, if at all? And what kind of sensor is in it?

The website doesn't mention replacing sensors, just re-calibration every 180 days. You can do that yourself, if you have a known CO source, like a "Bump Kit".

Re-calibration is voluntary too and depends on the precision you want or need. Depending on how often you use it, it may drift by a few ppm, but should still serve the purpose just fine detecting dangerous amounts of CO.

Have you priced the supplies needed for the sensorcon recommended bump test? Its like $500.

I have the luxury of having an account with airgas and priced it out with my discount. Because of the higher co amount and the regulator needed the best price I could find was $280. Airgas couldnt find a smaller alternative bump gas "in a can" at the ppm required. Apparently at the required ppm u can only get it in larger bottles that require a reg

I priced the calibration gas and flow limiter at $70
