The KANE-ALERT-CO₂ provides a low cost method of assessing carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels and ventilation rates in offices, public buildings, commercial kitchens and many other locations where indoor air quality is important.  High levels of CO₂ can cause drowsiness, headaches or even long term damage. Examples of recommended CO₂ limits include:

• Building Bulletin 101 states that the average CO₂ concentration in classrooms during teaching should not exceed 1,500ppm
• British Standards BS6896, BS6230 and BS5990 which cover various gas fired heaters state that CO₂ concentrations should not exceed 2,800ppm where people are working.

Other applications for the instrument include monitoring growing conditions in glasshouses and to warn of leaks when CO₂ is stored in pressurised containers in an enclosed area.

Key features of the KANE-ALERT-CO2 include:

• Long life non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor measures CO₂ up to 3,000 parts per million (ppm)
• Measures temperature over the range 0 to 50^oC;
• >Max/Min mode;
• >Alarm mode;
• Logs up to 48 readings at 30 minute intervals;
• Calculates and displays ventilation rates
• Battery life typically 80 hours from 4 x AA;
• Supplied with mains adapter;
• Fitted with tilt stand for ease of use.
