Does it detect co2? or carbon monoxide?

No, it strictly measures gas (propane, methanol,other petroleum based products).

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.

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

I'm going to say no. Although this dectector will detect numerous types of gas, it is intended as a combustible gas detector... which carbon monoxide is not - it is a by product of combustible gas. Also keep in mind it is a leak detector and not designed for open air use.

Yes, if the heater goes out; No, as to excess Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Dioxide or low Oxygen level.

Senses CO2. Smaller than a smoke alarm. I think it lasts 10 years. I just installed it a couple of months agao.

this meter reads postive and negitive pressures. it is not a detector for measuring co2 levels,

This is not a smoke detector this is for burning coal or natural gas Anything that puts off carbon dioxide.

It has the sensor inside. If you're using it for both propane and CO, you should put it low to the ground close to your propane tank.

The device detect CO with right sensitivity. I find the acceptable CO density on internet. So it is not important whether it is on some list or not.

I've used one in an insulated garage workshop for 12 hours at a time over the course of that last two winters. I have two carbon monoxide detectors installed for this reason, and to date neither have registered a reading on their digital display. A couple years ago I used two in the house when we lost power for a week and never had a problem.

Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house. Mine has never detected has but it has a test button and the alarm is audible throughout my entire house (1700 sq ft.). There is a constant green light on and dashes across the screen indicating it is on. The unit comes with an instruction booklet that explains the display and what to do if the device goes off. We have a gas furnace and it's peace of mind to have this. I live in Oklahoma and just recently a house exploded from a gas leak. This would undoubtedly warn me if levels rose that high so that myself and proper authorities could take action. Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house.

this only detects smoke/steam; it does not detect carbon monoxide. It would be useful anywhere that you can hear it.

The green light is on, there is also a test button to test it but if you really want to test it put some gas near it, even butane or canned air sets it off, it isn't overly sensitive but is quick & accurate when those things are near it.

The "Latching alarm" only comes into play if the unit is hooked up to a A/C power source. and after the unit is exposed to alarm levels of smoke or CO2, and then the levels of smoke or CO2 are lowered, there is a red light flashing until the unit is tested, this also is a means of helping to determine the area where the smoke or CO2 comes from if the whole system of detectors are connected together.

I've only used it for automotive detection so far so I have no personal experience with other gasses but according to Fieldpiece it triggers on all CFCs HFCs and HCFCs with varying sensitivity. Here is their link for the SRL8 detector. http://fieldpiece.com/leak-a-gas-detectors/srl8

It's only function is to measure pressure and pressure differential. It doesn't detect carbon monoxide or any other gasses.

Yes, but I have not field tested yet! The manual says that is does detect explosive gas! Hold on let me try! It works! With my torch! Installed rigth by my gas boiler! 224. PPL. Get its good! Install on wall 6" off ceiling
