Appendix G: Technical Notes Appendix H: Testing for Carbon Monoxide in Ambient Air The 712 can be used to test for carbon monoxide in ambient air. For example Note 1: When performing a pressure or draft test during a combustion test, the tests can be performed in work spaces and living areas like offices and houses pump can be turned on to provide a continuous sample to the sensors.
Appendix I: Carbon Monoxide in Ambient Air Chart Appendix J: CARBON MONOXIDE FACTS This chart contains maximum exposure levels and times for carbon monoxide. Carbon Monoxide (CO) is invisible, odorless, and tasteless. It is the byproduct of This is a general guideline only. It is recommended you check with your local combustion and levels are elevated when there is incomplete combustion.
For best results use a TPI replacement battery part number A007. The battery in your analyzer is 3.6V NiMH 1600mAh rated. Never replace the battery with any other type of battery or damage to the charge circuit will result.
