Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless gas produced by incomplete combustion in internal combustion engines, making it a serious hazard in enclosed spaces like parking garages. Often referred to as the “silent killer,” CO can build up quickly to dangerous levels before anyone realizes the risk. Even low concentrations, such as 200 ppm, can cause severe symptoms like nausea and dizziness, impairing judgment and increasing the risk of accidents.The Ambetronics Carbon Monoxide Detection System addresses this hazard effectively. It features a CO monitor with a digital display that provides continuous readings of ambient CO levels. When CO concentrations rise, the system automatically activates ventilation fans and triggers an audible alarm if levels continue to increase. This not only ensures safety but also conserves energy by operating ventilation equipment only when necessary.Ambetronics offers two primary solutions: the GM-2200 Monitor, which can accommodate one or two sensor inputs, and the GM-1100 Standalone System for simpler setups. Both systems integrate with CO transmitters to provide accurate, real-time monitoring and control, ensuring optimal ventilation and compliance with building codes.
