The one in our boat does that sometimes when the boat has been closed up for a number of days. It never does it when we are there and using the boat. Ken H. On Sun, 17 May 2020 at 13:33, bwhitmore via CnC-List wrote: > Hello all, > > I had put a household, battery powered CO detector on our C&

I use atmospheric monitors for confined space entry at the place where I work. We have used different versions and manufacturers over the years. All of them have had what is known as a cross sensitivity on the CO detector to Hydrogen. In fact, I've used it to my advantage when looking for hydroge

I've also got a household CO detector (mainly for the propane heater which we no longer have), but have not had any false alarms. It is mounted just above the outlet in the dinette, so about head level when sitting. We also have two GC batteries under the nav table seat charging on solar, so should

Hello all,I had put a household, battery powered CO detector on our C&C37/40+ a week or two ago, and got on the boat yesterday only to hear it going off.  Everything was turned off, so I'm reasonably certain we didn't have CO building up.   We do, however, have solar panels, and I'm sure they we
