7.10 Ambient CO probe (option)
This optional external probe allows ambient CO monitoring for personnel safety. When connected to the analyzer, it
monitor continuously CO concentration and it signal when the Long-term Exposure (TWA) limits are reached. An
acoustic and visible signals are emitted by unit.
The following page show the current exposure limits for CO gas. This table is a guidance only, and figures must be
checked before being used. Sensors used in safety applications should be fully calibrated at least every six months.

From this moment the unit will compare the monitored value with the CO limit (default OSHA limit: 35ppm). It is possible
to change the CO limit using the GasConfig software for PC.
