Visual and audio alerts increase proportionally in frequency as the concentration of CO increases. The dual-display LCD is lit by a bright blue backlight for added visibility in dark places. The familiar Fieldpiece ergonomic shape and rubber boot make it easy to hold and tough enough for HVAC field service. Use with the optional AOXP2 aspirator pump for flue CO tests.

    NEW! Combustion Check Meter.
    Flue Tests You Need Without All the Extras You Don't.

    Fieldpiece's introduces the SOX2 combustion check meter. The SOX2 measures % oxygen and temperature and calculates % carbon dioxide and % excess air in flue gas. Most technicians don't need a full-on combustion analysis to tune a system. Heating appliance manufacturers often provide targets for %O2, temperature, and %CO2 in flue gas. Some are now including targets for % Excess Air. The SOX2 gives technicians the measurements they need without the costly extras of full-on combustion analyzers. See www.fieldpiece.com/combustion_check.html for more on the SOX2. — Fieldpiece Instruments
