CO2Meter announces the launch of its latest gas innovation, the PRO-10 Portable CO2 Safety Detector. Designed to provide real-time carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring for personnel working in environments where CO2 is used or stored, the PRO-10 is ideal for applications in the food and beverage industry, dry ice production, indoor agriculture, and scientific or pharma fields. With its rugged design and advanced technology, the PRO-10 delivers unparalleled safety, helping to prevent injuries or fatalities caused by CO2 exposure.
The importance of CO2 safety monitoring
CO2 is widely used in many industries, yet it can be a serious hazard if not properly monitored. Carbon dioxide is colorless and odorless, and even small leaks can lead to dangerous conditions. High concentrations of CO2 can result in dizziness, unconsciousness, and in severe cases, even death. According to OSHA, a concentration of CO2 greater than 5,000 parts per million (ppm) over an 8-hour period can pose serious health risks if not monitored. CO2 leaks in enclosed spaces can quickly escalate, making monitoring essential in preventing workplace injuries or fatalities from occurring.
Without proper CO2 monitoring, personnel in environments like restaurants, beverage distribution facilities, grow spaces, and laboratories are at significant risk. The PRO-10 Portable CO2 Safety Detector is CO2Meter’s latest solution designed to provide immediate and reliable detection of CO2 levels, ensuring that workers remain safe at all times, reducing downtime on the job and providing personnel with peace of mind.
Introducing the PRO-10 Portable CO2 Safety Detector
Building on the success of the SAN-10 Personal CO2 Safety Monitor, the PRO-10 has been developed with feedback from customers and extensive field testing.
Key Features of the PRO-10 Portable CO2 Safety Detector:
- Real-time CO2 Monitoring: The PRO-10 continuously measures CO2 levels from 0 ppm to 50,000 ppm at a rate of 30 readings per minute, providing instant feedback on the concentration of CO2 in the air. This rapid sampling ensures that any changes in CO2 levels are detected immediately, allowing workers to respond quickly to potential hazards.
- Instant Audible and Visual Alarms: When CO2 levels exceed safe thresholds, the PRO-10 activates both audible and visual alarms to alert personnel. The alarm levels are preconfigured to OSHA standards, ensuring compliance and safety. With its loud siren and flashing 3-color code indicators, workers will be instantly aware of elevated CO2 levels, even in noisy environments.
- Durability for Harsh Conditions: Designed for use in tough environments, the PRO-10 features a rugged exterior that can withstand harsh conditions. Whether in a commercial kitchen, a grow space, or an industrial setting, the PRO-10 is built to endure. The addition of a belt hook allows for easy attachment to clothing or equipment, keeping the device secure during movement.
- Rechargeable Battery with Extended Life: The PRO-10 comes equipped with a powerful rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides over 72 hours of continuous use on a single charge. This extended battery life is ideal for workers who need reliable monitoring over long shifts or during fieldwork, without the hassle of frequent recharging.
- OSHA-Compliant Alarm Levels: The PRO-10 is pre-programmed to trigger alarms when CO2 levels exceed OSHA’s recommended exposure limits. This ensures that the device not only protects workers but also helps organizations comply with regulatory requirements.
The PRO-10 Portable CO2 Safety Detector is now available. For more information: www.CO2Meter.com.
