I am bringing calibration equipment with me this year. I’ll set aside a few blocks of time to do calibrations. Not sure when yet. I’m flying in with the caravan on Saturday and staying until Wednesday. The calibrations will done in the north 40, either at my plane or the caravan tent. I’ll start a separate post in a few days when I figure out the details. No charge for calibrations but I will accept donations to help cover the cost of the test gas.

DanM20C Posted January 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 I have edited my original post to include the current code. The first one was no longer valid. If you don't have a CO monitor, get one! Thanks to @Skates97 for pointing out the old discount code. Cheers, Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted May 2, 2020 Report Share Posted May 2, 2020 To all: I order the Industrial Pro model on Thursday (04/30), just to avoid the Christmas. Being a CB I selected the free shipping option, it arrived this morning (Sat (05/02)). Thanks again Dan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philiplane Posted October 11, 2020 Report Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) I've had good results with Guardian Avionics products. 7 year calibration. They have many different models for all aircraft. Yes, they cost more but I'm not a CB when it comes to keeping my butt safe. https://www.guardianavionics.com/aero-553-panel-digital-display-multi-function-co-detector-tso-certified-aircraft Edited October 11, 2020 by philiplane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they complement each other nicely. The Guardian is always on, and has an audible alert thought the headset. The Sensorcon is more sensitive allowing you to use it to catch problems well before they are serious problems. Being portable it works as a great troubleshooting tool used to find where the CO is entering the cabin. Cheers, Dan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcb Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 Sorry if I missed something, but what is the difference in the 3 units? At least for our planes I know that anything is better than nothing but for such a minor cost difference just makes me think well just buy the best? I bought the classic version but left it as part of my F model that I sold and now need to add one to my new plane. $139, $159, $169? or the Classic version at $129, $149, $159?

cnoe Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) I can't comment on the difference between the "new" version vs. the "classic" version but... The "Industrial Pro" model allows you to change the alarm set-point from the default (35 ppm) to a higher level (up to 100 ppm for the initial LOW alarm). I like that feature and will opt for that model when replacing my existing unit because... ... due to the fantastic sensitivity of these devices it's not unusual for the alarm to activate while idling or during ground maneuvers as small amounts of exhaust enter the cabin through a vent, window, or door. When the red lights start flashing my wife and/or passengers can be alarmed by this unnecessarily. The 35 ppm level is the NIOSH max for 10 hours continuous exposure and isn't a concern at all for short term exposure. Once in flight the display will gradually decrease to "0" in a short while. I'd prefer to have no flashing red lights and alarms going off until the reading reaches 50-100 ppm which is the level at which a slight headache might occur after a couple hours. Only the "Industrial Pro" version allows this. CNoe And THANKS AGAIN to @DanM20C for bringing this issue to our attention and very likely saving a few lives along the way! Edited February 12, 2021 by cnoe ... to thank Dan. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As typical Anthony makes some good points, but I figured I'd offer an anecdotal data point to the conversation... I just looked at my records and can state that my Sensorcon CO detector was put into service in February of 2017 and I've yet to see the "low battery" indicator come on. It seems obvious that the expected (CR123A) battery life (2+ years) is based on time-in-use (not calendar time). And while the sensor element may become less viable with "age", mine still reacts quickly and vigorously to any level of CO in the cockpit. To me, absolute numeric accuracy is less important than prompt gross detection while in flight. I still want the "programmable" model though and will be looking for an excuse to upgrade sometime. Hopefully my existing unit won't continue to work for ANOTHER four years. CNoe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
