Carbon Monoxide is generated wherever combustion
occurs, including the operation of gasoline and diesel engines. It is
invisible, odorless, tasteless and deadly.
Faulty venting or even a wind shift can create a
dangerous situation, particularly in confined areas like boat cabins.
The following chart spells out in parts-per-million
volume the exposure effects of carbon monoxide.
The computer-controlled CMD-3M is specifically
designed for a harsh marine environment. Its capabilities include averaging
CO concentrations over a period of time, virtually eliminating false alarms,
while still providing unmatched protection. Its alarm signal is activated at
10% COHb. Its circuit board is conformal-coated on both sides. Power
requirement: 12 VDC with a simple two-wire connection.
