So I just did some comparisons of different Manufacturer's units as I am going to need a CO analyzer.
I am definitely interested in these Sensorcon units. I've seen some posts recommending them and the price point is very attractive.
Here is what I just found today:
OXYCHEQ expedition: +- 2ppm or +- 1%
NUVAIR Pro CO: +- 5%
Palm CO: +1ppm or +5% after factory calibration
Sensorcon Inspector: +- 10% at ambient conditions
Per DAN: "A realistic standard that is safe, achievable and practical for most divers is 5 ppm. Many inexpensive, portable CO analyzers measure from zero to 25 ppm, with a 1 ppm resolution, making them suitable for detecting safe levels of CO in the dive environment."
Someone please feel free to correct my math as math is certainly not my strongsuit:
If Meter reads 5ppm then:
+1% would be 5ppm x .01 = 5.05ppm (Qxycheq)
+5% would be 5ppm x .05 = 5.25ppm (NuvairPro/Palm)
+10% would be 5ppm x .10 = 5.5ppm (Sensorcon Inspector)
Is the Sensorcon Inspector accurate enough?
