THE BENEFITS OF A CARBON DIOXIDE MONITOR
As CO2 has no taste or smell, it can be hard to detect. This is why CO2 monitors are so important, and a workplace risk assessment may suggest that gas detectors are installed.
Analox offer a wide range of carbon dioxide monitors – from portable monitors like the Aspida and the ACG+ to fixed monitors like the Ax60.
As CO2 is heavier than air, it is recommended that fixed carbon dioxide detectors are not mounted at head height – for example, we recommend that the Ax60 is wall-mounted 450mm off the ground and the repeater unit is placed at head height at the entrance to the room.
