Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Extech CO15 Carbon

Monoxide Meter. The CO15 is a digital, pen style meter,

that measures and displays carbon monoxide (CO)

concentrations between 0 and 999 parts per million

(ppm). The CO15 can be used for ambient air safety

checks of residential areas, appliances, HVAC service on

furnaces and hot water heaters, home inspections, and

industrial environments where the accumulation of CO

is possible.

This device is shipped fully tested and calibrated and,

with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

The CO15 Carbon Monoxide Monitor is intended for

general purpose Air Quality monitoring only, and has

not been certified for use pursuant to any state or city

safety Carbon Monoxide Alarm or Monitoring

requirements.

The CO15 Carbon Monoxide Monitor has not been

tested by an independent lab to comply with UL 2034

or IAS 6-96 standard.

It is the responsibility of the customer to obtain and

apply current local, state, and national regulations with

regard to CO alarms, monitoring and testing.

CO15-en-GB_v1.0 6/17

Electromagnetic (EMI) interference my cause erratic

meter readings; do not place meter near areas of high

EMI when taking CO measurements.

Recovery time is required after the meter has been

exposed to high levels of CO (the longer the exposure,

the longer the recovery time).

Carbon monoxide is life threatening even at

relatively low concentrations; learn and

recognize the effects of CO poisoning (see Table

below). Do not use this meter as a personal

safety monitoring device.

Effects of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning

Warning: Ensure that the meter is powered on in room

temperature and in an area free of CO. If not, the meter

will read incorrectly when subsequently measuring CO.

Operation

Power the meter

IMPORTANT: Power the meter in a room temperature

environment and in an area free of CO; otherwise the

meter will read incorrectly when subsequently measuring

CO.

Press the button to power on the meter. The LCD will

switch ON and display the programmed CO alarm limit in

the primary display and the ambient air temperature in

the secondary display (as shown in the LCD description

section above). Replace the batteries if the display does

not switch ON.

The meter performs a 15-second self-test during which

the displayed values will blink. When the self-test is

finished, the meter beeps and enters the normal

operating mode.

Measurements

The CO15 detects the existence of carbon monoxide (CO)

in the environment and displays the reading in parts per

million (PPM) in the primary display.

1. To take a measurement, trace the CO15 around the

area of the suspected leak.

2. The meter indicates the presence of carbon

monoxide (CO) in PPM in the primary display. The

secondary display indicates the maximum value

since powered on.

3. Long press the “backlight” button while in

measurement mode to reset the maximum value.

4. When high CO levels are detected an audible beeper

sounds at 25 ppm alerting the user to the dangerous

CO levels. The higher the concentration of CO, the

faster the beeper will sound.

5. To turn the meter off, press the button. The

meter powers off after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Change Temperature Units

The temperature shows on the display during the self-test

only. Power the meter in a room temperature

environment for the most accurate readings. Long press

the button during the self-test to change the

temperature units to oC or oF.

Alarm Settings

An audible beep sounds at 25ppm alerting the user to

dangerous CO levels. Change the alarm limit value by

following the steps below.

1. Turn OFF the meter by pressing the button.

2. Long press the button until the options display

on the screen.

3. The LCD cycles through these options: 25, 30, 35,

45, 50, 70, 100, 200 ppm.

4. Release the button at the desired alarm limit

value.

5. The meter enters the self-test mode.

Backlight

The meter features a backlit LCD for use in dimly lit areas.

Press the button to power ON and OFF the backlight.

Auto Power OFF

The meter automatically powers OFF after 15 minutes of

inactivity.
