Does this just detect Carbon Monoxide or will it detect other gases like a propane leak also?

To the best of my knowledge, CO only, not propane and/or other gases. Since you can smell propane (I think), and not CO -- most of these detectors focus on CO detection

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 However, the unit that I was sold was over 10 years old and outdated and did not work and I had to send it back.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.

The sensor that I bought measures temp, humidity and does leak detection. I use it in the laundry room and to monitor the AC system evap trap.

It works in the whole range of CO2 % in the air. Normally it is from 500 to 1000 ppm. It can detect beyond this range as well but I have never seen it since these are not usual concentrations of CO2 in the room air.

No. This detector is not a carbon monoxide detector. It does detect smoldering fires, which regular detectors usually miss until it is too late.

No. Don't even think of trying it. This device measures vacuum (negative pressure), and not much, from what amounts to a fan sucking on a tube. A propane tank is high positive pressure trying to escape from a tank. Again do not try this. The propane would blow the blue fluid right out the Manometer!

It is a propane sensor, so what it really senses is methane, which is added to propane specifically so you can smell a leak. I don't know whether it senses CO2 or CO.

I have 5 detectors and one co2 unit all connected to each other and it works fine. If you have more and a larger sized home I recommend the units with the voice warnings so you know which one had been activated. Use sticky notes or tape to ID each one when you do the set up

Detects poisoning gases, fire alarm sensor. Had it since 7/13 and have not replaced the battery. Hope this was useful?

You cannot actually test for radon or any other type of gas for that matter with this tool. This unit only measures pressure. There are manometers on existing radon reduction systems to monitor whether your fan is pulling the gas out at the correct amount or not.

All the test button does is check the BATTERY. It does NOT check the smoke sensor. They all say to test the sensor by using a can of 'smoke detector test aerosol'. Why not the real deal like real life smoke/fire I do not know nor understand at all! I find it worrisome.

Yes it will detect a fuel leak in a gasoline engine w/o problems. The amount wíĺl vary with the volume of fuel. Suģgestion: use a separste contreiner witj little volume so that you can get a higher concentration of ink. The laek will be much more visible under black ligth.

It is not a carbon monoxide detector, we bought it to measure the draft flow from our coal stove going into our chimney

No it only lets you know there is a presence of combustible gas - not which gas it is

Most consumer-grade CO detectors can detect and display down to 11 ppm. You'll only see this if you push the peak level button. The Defender CA6150 will show ambient level down to 10 ppm with the push of a button.

Yes, the detector will find gas wherever it is, it does not have to actually touch the connection. Of course it makes it easier to pinpoint the leak by getting as close as possible. I found a gas leak in a meter room and the leaking fitting was inaccessible, but the detector increased in volume and speed the closer I got to the leak. I also found a gas leak in my oven. The detector led me to a bad gas valve way down in back. I think this is a great product.

It should I got it to measure gas pressure after the regulatory in inches of wc. It also measures in other scales seems accurate and sensitive. Check the specifications.

yes. carbon monoxide is a silent killer. you should have both a smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector. just be aware that while cooking the carbon monoxide detector could/prob will go off so you might want to take the batteries out.
