Evikon E2608-CO2 Carbon Dioxide Detector

Carbon dioxide (CO2​) is an odorless, colorless gas that is denser than air. While it is naturally present in the atmosphere and a byproduct of human breathing, it becomes an invisible killer in concentrated amounts. CO2​ accumulation is common in poorly ventilated areas, cold storage facilities, breweries, fermentation vats, and underground spaces.Unlike toxic gases that poison the body, CO2​ primarily displaces oxygen, creating an asphyxiation hazard. As levels rise, the available oxygen drops, leading to symptoms that quickly escalate from drowsiness to unconsciousness. You need an accurate carbon dioxide sensor to manage this hidden threat. The E2608–CO2​ acts as a constant watchdog, preventing dangerous CO2​ gas exposure.

Where to Install Your CO2​ Detector

CO2​ is heavier than air, so it typically sinks and accumulates near the floor, especially in basements or pits. Therefore, for effective monitoring, you should place your carbon dioxide detector no more than 1$.5$ meters (about 5 feet) above the ground. Proper placement ensures the gas sensor for carbon dioxide detects the highest concentration of the sinking gas.

Why the Detector Beeps

When your CO2​ detector is beeping, it means the carbon dioxide detector levels have crossed a predefined safety threshold, signaling an immediate need for action. The default alarm settings on the E2608–CO2​ are typically:

• Alarm 1 (Low): $2500\text{ppm}$. This level signals poor air quality and triggers immediate ventilation.
• Alarm 2 (High): $5000\text{ppm}$. This is the occupational exposure limit and triggers evacuation and emergency response.

Health Hazards of CO2​

The danger to human health from CO2​ depends entirely on the concentration:

• Ambient Air: Around $400\text{ppm}$ is normal outdoor air.
• Poor Ventilation: Levels between $1000\text{ppm}$ and $2000\text{ppm}$ cause drowsiness and difficulty concentrating.
• Extreme Exposure: Sustained levels above $5000\text{ppm}$ are the legal occupational limit. Above $40,000\text{ppm}$ ($\text{4\%}\text{volume}$), CO2​ is immediately life-threatening, causing severe breathing difficulty, rapid heart rate, and potential death within minutes due to asphyxiation.

The CO2​ Compliance Imperative in the UAE and GCC

The rapid industrialization and emphasis on sophisticated HVAC and indoor air quality in the UAE and GCC mandate the installation of reliable environmental monitors. Facilities are now required to demonstrate control over their air quality for both safety and energy efficiency.

The E2608-CO2​ carbon dioxide detector is essential for meeting these requirements. In cold storage, the risk of a refrigeration leak filling the space with CO2​ is constant. In oil and gas, CO2​ processing areas demand continuous monitoring. For modern buildings seeking green certification, the NDIR carbon dioxide transmitter helps fine-tune ventilation, reducing energy waste while ensuring occupant comfort. Installing this reliable carbon dioxide detector is not just about compliance—it is about operational resilience and demonstrating your commitment to global safety standards.
