What is CO and NO₂?

Carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) are two hazardous gases commonly found in vehicle exhaust and poorly ventilated indoor spaces. Both are colorless and odorless, which makes them especially dangerous without proper detection. Key…


Why does a unit need calibration?

Gas detection sensors naturally drift away from their original settings over time as they age and are exposed to gases. Without calibration, the readings may become unreliable — which creates a potential health and safety…


What is a full calibration?

A full calibration is the complete manufacturer-recommended procedure for ensuring a gas detector is accurate and safe to use. It typically includes: The instrument’s electronics then determine whether the sensors pass or fail. Full calibration…


What is calibration?

Calibration is the process of exposing a gas detector to a certified test gas and adjusting the unit to ensure its readings are accurate. This service corrects for natural sensor drift as the detector ages…



What is a bump test?

A bump test is a quick, functional check to confirm that a gas detector’s sensors are working correctly. The detector is briefly exposed to a known test gas, and the readings should respond within about…
