Extech Instruments has launched the new CO230 Indoor Air Quality Carbon Dioxide (CO2) monitor. Designed for use in a wide range of building applications ranging from schools to workplaces, the tabletop/wall-mount monitor can alert occupants to issues such as dizziness, headaches and fatigue resulting from inadequate ventilation by measuring and tracking carbon dioxide (PPM), temperature (°F/°C) and humidity (RH%).
Technicians can use the CO230 to identify and validate air quality problems when occupants complain about stuffy air or when reduced productivity is reported due to too-hot or too-cold work areas. Using the CO230 can alert technicians, for example, when a fresh air intake system is not operating correctly and may need adjustments or repairs.
The CO230 features a large, three-way display with carbon dioxide (PPM), temperature (°F/°C) and humidity (RH%). Users can program high and low alarm thresholds that will trigger both a visible flashing LED alarm and an audible ~80dB beeping alarm. Plus, an external relay jack expands the monitor’s alarm capability to activate external devices like remote alarms or ventilation controls.
