The Inspector you can feel. The Sensorcon Inspector Industrial adds a vibrating alarm and intrinsic safety certification to a live carbon monoxide readout, for loud, cold or busy places where a buzzer is easy to miss.
Built for Cold Weather and Loud Places
CO problems peak in winter, when heaters, generators, cooking stoves, open flames and idling vehicles run in closed-up spaces. The Industrial clips to a jacket or belt, keeps working in freezing, wet weather, and vibrates against you if CO starts to climb, even under a hat, earmuffs or hearing protection.
Four Men in an Ice House
In January 2016, four men were fishing on Walker Bay of Leech Lake in Minnesota, inside a camper trailer converted into an ice house. It was heated by propane heaters that weren't vented. One man died, and the other three were treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. Heated, sealed-up shelters are exactly where CO builds quietly, and exactly where an early alarm matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work in freezing weather?
It's rated to operate down to -4 °F. Below that, keep it inside your jacket and clipped near your face so it stays in range and close to the air you're breathing.
Does this replace the CO alarms in my home?
No. The Inspector is a portable monitor. Keep a UL 2034 listed CO alarm on every level of your home and near sleeping areas, and use the Inspector to carry protection with you and to pinpoint where CO is coming from.
How do I keep it accurate?
Electrochemical sensors drift over time, so plan on regular calibration. Our $49 Western/Central US service includes certified-gas calibration and a new battery, back to you in 48 hours.
