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.

Visual Indicator
The LED on the top of the CO71A lights and changes
color when CO levels increase or decrease.
OFF: 0-1 PPM
GREEN: 2-9 PPM
AMBER: 10-34
PPM
RED:
35 PPM
or higher
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.
