Belt Detection, always attentive and sensitive to safety issues, has long had carbon monoxide CO detectors among its flagship products.
From today, the Scacco detector, the historic product and flagship of the Belt production, known in the methane and LPG versions, is also available for carbon monoxide CO detection.
The Scacco CO detector is built in compliance with EN50291 standard, and each unit is calibrated with sample gas to respond to low concentrations of carbon monoxide CO in the air.
It is sold in 3 different versions: with battery power supply, with 230Vac power supply, and with 12/24Vdc power supply.
Carbon monoxide is particularly significant among pollutants produced by combustion. It is a toxic, colorless, odorless, tasteless, and non-irritating gas that, without adequate ventilation, can reach high concentrations. It is produced by the incomplete combustion of any organic material, in the presence of low oxygen content in the environment.
Due to its characteristics, it can be inhaled insidiously and imperceptibly, reaching lethal concentrations in the body. The CO present in the air of confined spaces mainly comes from tobacco smoke and combustion sources not equipped with proper exhaust. For example, portable kerosene and gas heaters, boilers, water heaters, fireplaces, and wood, pellet, or gas stoves.
Carbon monoxide can also come from outside when the premises are adjacent to a garage or a workshop or near roads with heavy traffic. In homes, under normal conditions, levels range between 1.5 and 4.5 mg/m³. In the presence of combustion processes, such as heating and cooking systems or tobacco smoke, and inadequate ventilation, indoor concentrations can exceed outdoor ones and reach levels up to 60 mg/m³.
During winter in homes, concentrations can exceed outdoor levels, and the highest pollution levels are due precisely to the heating of these homes.
