My new Carbon Monoxide sensor has superb pilot friendly features!

 Hi!

We're announcing our new CO ProTM carbon monoxide sensor. It is designed by a pilot (me!!!) for pilots and passengers and travelers and has features I've always wanted in a Carbon Monoxide detector. 

Startup Screen on CO Pro

Without much of a drumroll, here's a list of features:

  • Five year sensor life; possibly extendible as field experience warrants
  • Always On sensor -- useful CO baseline Zero reading in about 15 seconds 
  • Rechargeable battery operation via USB power port 
  • 5 hour life in Bright
  • 10+ hours of operation in Dim mode
  • Aural Alarm which may be muted (touch the SPEAKER button)
  • Zero Recalibration on demand at the touch of a button (touch the CAL button for 3 seconds)
  • 0 to 600 PPM range; 50 PPM denoted in yellow and 100 PPM in red
  • Arrow Trend provides visual and aural warning when CO starts to rise, long before final value is settled
  • Graphing of CO levels over a two minute period; wraps around to show more information
  • Hazard Icon illuminates @ 100PPM and higher
  • Brilliant daylight readable color display
  • Bright mode for daylight and dim mode for nighttime (touch the DIM button for 3 seconds)
  • G-Meter as secondary function (touch the NEXT button briefly and unit will switch modes)
  • G-Meter has current, max and min digital values
  • G-Meter has standard dial indication as well
  • G-Meter has 'Ghosting' feature which shows G history
  • G-Meter mode also displays digital CO values even while G-Meter is active
  • When used in G-Meter mode, will automatically switch back to CO Graphing mode if CO levels start to rise
We also have another CO sensor which is called GEIGER CO.  

In its own right, the older GEIGER CO is a phenomenal product. Here's a photo of the GEIGER CO (orange metal) next to a CO PRO (black nylon with chopped carbon fiber case)



GEIGER CO and the new CO Pro, side by side

I tested GEIGER CO alongside the new CO Pro and uploaded the resulting video to YouTube.

I am getting over a cold as I recorded that.  I hope you like my robust voice. :-)

Here's a look at the screen of CO Pro during a Carbon Monoxide event:

Here's a little bit of what's happening in this screen.
  • The graph shows a wrapped history of what has happened.
  • The Hazard Icon is on; it turns on whenever CO PPM > 100 PPM. 
  • The current CO reading is 194.
  • The max experienced CO was 212.
  • The battery icon shows 3 bars.
  • The speaker icon is visible. Whenever CO > 50 ppm the speaker alarm turns on.  We can clear it with the SPEAKER button.
Here's the G-Meter screen.

  • The Needle shows the current G's (about 1.02 as also shown digitally).
  • The 'Ghosting' effect shows needle history.
  • Also shown are MAX and MIN g values.
  • Below the thin line on the digital value list is CO Max and CO current level. Both are updated while using this as a G-Meter.
  • If the unit senses a rising CO level, it will automatically switch to CO graphing mode.

The CO Pro can be mounted with the optional Holster. It is designed for a standard 3 1/8" instrument cutout.

It can also be mounted to any flat surface using the corner holes.  Rivets; screws; Duct Tape (hint, hint).

Please order the CO Pro (or the GEIGER CO) now.

The pricing and availability are as follows:

CO Pro -- $199 intro offer through the end of the month & year (December 2022).

Optional Holster -- $39 intro offer through the end of the month & year (December 2022). I wish I could include this at no charge, but I can't.  We print them on our $20,000 MarkForged 3D printer and it takes more than one hour of print time.  Also, it is printed using nylon / chopped carbon fiber.  It is an exceptionally high quality print.

Aircraft Spruce has ordered CO Pro inventory for stock and is participating in the intro offer.
