CO Detector
Need to try to get a consensus here - what are you guys using for CO detectors? Thanks in advance!
|
After reading this article I got the CO Expert's detector.
The only problem is that it goes off every time it gets a sniff of exhaust, like when taxying with the canopy cracked open. But it was quick to react when I had an exhaust flange fail. I opened the fresh air vent and landed at the nearest airport. I'm still happy with my choice even if I have to explain the beeping to my passengers. |
I use a Flight Data Systems http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...0carbondet.php
One thing to check out is the life, and cost to replace the detector module. FDS units have long life and reasonable cost to replace detectors. Small, light weight, and uses a built in fan to pull sample air through the unit, so should be able to detect CO a bit quicker than non fan units-------at least that is how I see it. Audio warning, and EFIS script as well as red light on panel. |
I use one.

I looked at the Gardian, but along with the purchase price of around 300-350 dollars., every five years it requires service at 200 dollars. It is a nice unit. But it does cost.

Yes, they give a little core credit, but my unit it built into the panel and now I would have to rebuilt the hole to fit a smaller unit they sell. |
What about this one? It is about 2.5" x 4". Cost is $199 and lasts for 5 years. It reads low levels of CO, has a digital display and a silence button in the event it is going off while the canopy is open during taxi.
