The Ambient Air Pump CO Monitor alerts workers using supplied air respirators when the level of carbon monoxide has exceeded 10 ppm (5 ppm Canada). The CO monitor can be operated in AC or DC mode and uses a single 9-volt alkaline battery. Housed in a portable, rugged Pelican case with handle and latches for protection and security. Comes with a threaded Tee. Connects inline to outlet of any Ambient Air Pump to monitor and warn of any dangerous levels of carbon monoxide entering into the air line supplying breathing air to the user. This unit is powered by a 115V AC to 9V DC power adapter. A 9V DC Alkaline battery acts as an automatic back-up if AC power is lost to the monitor.
