What is the lowest amount of Carbon Monoxide this can detect?

If the alarm sounds at 30 ppm, then this unit is not compliant with UL standard (unless it has been at 30 ppm for at least 30 days). EN50291 requires 2 hours at 30 ppm for the alarm to go off. Thus, it cannot ever comply with both standards, as currently in force.

The UL certified co sensor ensures that the alarm will sound at 50ppm within 60-90 minutes.

CO is lighter than air while Propane is heavier than air. A CO detector needs to mounted high. On the ceiling or very near is needed to provide an early warning. A propane detector must be mounted low in order to provide an early warning.Any manufacturer who mounts a detector in the wrong location is open to a liability claim from the deceased relatives. If you doubt this, please check with your local fire department. I am a retired firefighter.

What is the lowest level ppm that the unit you have can detect and display on the monitor?

No it is not, whatever room you have it in make sure to have a carbon monoxide detector in it.

The short answer is "Yes." The longer answer is that the CO sensors slowly deteriorate with time and so there is (was?) an industry standard that has devices shut themselves down after a fixed period of several years and signal the need for replacement. It's a safety measure.

model #CO400 (carbon monoxide) conforms to ANSI/UL standard 2034 and model #SA303 (smoke alarm) conforms to ANSI/UL standard 217

Yes. My "smoke only" detectors are connected to my "smoke + carbon monoxide" detectors.

Carbon Monoxide is about the same as air and CO detectors should be placed where each specific manufacturer recommends.

No, its not a carbon monoxide tester too. It senses by using photoelectric and ionization to alert for smoke

To my knowledge, it only detects CO, not propane. However, the unit that I was sold was over 10 years old and outdated and did not work and I had to send it back. It is best to buy a fresh one at Home Depot or Lowes.

One site I looked at, investigating whether to put up combination CO/Photoelectric or separate units, suggested that ceiling mounting can be defeated by a buildup of (presumably warm/hot) air, preventing a CO detector from timely detection of CO. The author suggested wall mount at least 2-ft below the ceiling, or even at eye level, of the CO detector, as it would monitor any CO-laden air passing it on its way up. I plan to have ceiling-mounted smoke detectors (ionization and photoelectric) on each floor with wall-mounted CO detectors appropriately nearby.

From the manual... CO displays from 30 to 999 pm. Alarms at 70 ppm within 60 minutes, 150 ppm 10 - 50 minutes, 400 ppm 4-15 minutes. For methane displays "GAS" . Will alarm before gas reaches 25% of lower explosive limit.

CO2 (carbon dioxide) is heavy, but CO (carbon monoxide) is very close to the same weight as air. That is what makes it so insidious --you can't get away from it by being high or low. Put the sensor wherever it is convenient.

Yes, It Will Give You Results In PPM. Detection Range Is 0.05- 1.0 PPM. Thank You

There is no exhaust to speak of so it is safe to use indoors. BTU size varies depending on what type of room you use it in. If memory serves, 10,000 BTU or less is rated for bedroom use (where we use ours). I did install a "Kidde KN-COPP-B-LPM Battery-Operated Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display" as a precautionary measure, however. It has never registered any measurable CO2.

Since carbon monoxide is heavier than breathable air, a spot waist high or so seems reasonable. Some areas require by code mounting it on the same floor as rooms used for sleeping. I mounted mine in this manner and the code inspector signed off on it. Hope this helps.
