1.1 General description

The GE Interlogix carbon monoxide (CO) detection system is the ideal solution for
detection of dangerous levels of CO gas in car parks and other enclosed spaces where
levels of CO gas must be monitored and controlled effectively.
The detection system is based on the analysis of polyatomic gas molecules in the air and
uses a rapid-acting (under ten seconds) SnO2 doped semiconductor housed in the head
of the detector. CO levels are sent to and displayed in the control panel and ventilation
and alarm relays triggered automatically when user-defined CO levels are detected.
System features:
The CO detection system is available in the following versions:
Model
KM260/1
KM260/3
