FEATURES
• 0 to 1000 ppm CO measurement range
• Stores up to 32,510 measurements
• User-programmable warning threshold with bright
• USB interface for set-up and data download
• Expected sensor life: 4 years
• Supplied with replaceable internal lithium battery
This standalone data logger measures and stores up to 32,510 Carbon
Monoxide (CO) readings over a 0 to 1000 ppm measurement range
and -10 to +40°C (14 to +104°F) operating temperature range. The
user can easily set up the logging rate and start time, and download the
stored data by plugging the data logger into a PC’s USB port and running the purpose designed software under Windows 2000, XP and
Vista (32-bit). The data can then be graphed, printed and exported to other applications. The data logger is supplied complete with a long-
life lithium battery. Data is stored in non-volatile memory and is retained when the battery is empty. A bright red LED will Á ash and a buzzer
can sound when a preset warning level has been exceeded.
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE EL-USB-CO WITHOUT READING AND UNDERSTANDING THE DOCUMENTATION. CARBON MONOXIDE
MONITORING IS A COMPLEX PROCEDURE. IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT AS TO THE SAFETY OR APPLICATION - STOP! CONSULT A QUALIFIED
EXPERT.
The EL-USB-CO is a professional measuring instrument, designed to record Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas levels for later analysis. It is not
an alarm/safety/warning device and should not be used in this capacity for the following reasons:
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous. It is a clear, colorless gas that has no smell or taste and can be lethal even in very low concentrations.
It can injure or kill people and animals who are not adequately warned of its presence.
In areas where the safety of humans and animals is a concern we insist that a domestic or industrial CO detector/alarm, designed to a
nationally approved quality standard, with features such as a high decibel alarm or siren and a clear visual warning, speciÀ cally designed
to provide adequate warning of dangerous CO levels, be installed, used and maintained.

... We recommend that you replace the battery every 3 months, or prior to logging critical data. The EL-USB-CO does not lose its stored readings when the battery is discharged or when the battery is replaced; however, the data logging process will be stopped and cannot be re-started until the battery has been replaced and the logged data has been downloaded to a PC. ...
