New Carbon Monoxide Detector is fast enough for walk-around testing.

New from Fieldpiece Instruments, the SCM3 Carbon Monoxide Detector includes a three-pin electrochemical sensor that's fast enough for walk-around tests. 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. — Fieldpiece Instruments CIRCLE 178

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

Fieldpiece's SOX2 Combustion Check meter 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 CIRCLE 177
