O2 + CO analyzer choices.

[Shurup]

Bump.
Haven't been on this board for a little while. Any new development in O2 / CO combo meter?

Been reading the forums and googling and found a sensorcon CO analyzers are fairly cheap. There's already one or more topics running on Sensorcon.

Looking at Sensorcon CO analyzer and NitronBuddy O2 analyzer, it looks like the Nitroxbuddy BC adapter could be successfully used with both of these testers??

One think that's not clear about Sensorcon is that their sensors do not require replacement but just re-calibration every few years. I went through their site and FAQ and that is the only info I could find. AFAIK there are 2 types of CO sensors: cheaper chemical sensor (which will have to be replaced every so often) and an expensive electrolytic type.
Sensorcon being the cheapest CO analyzer must have the cheapest, chemical sensor but it's they need replacement??? Confused.
I shoot them an email asking to clarify so will see what they say.

OK, Sensorcon uses a chemical sensor, how come they don't need replacement but only calibration every few years?
Waiting for their reply.

This I will buy. I don't like having to carry a smartphone for the other stuff, but I'll bite the bullet for this. Nice job.

Nice If I didnt have a setup for that I would give it a serious look. However when you come up with a trimix version Ill be all over that.

Damn it DiveNav! I had just about decided what I was going to buy for my O2 and CO analyzing needs, and now you ruined my plans! Any guess when this will be available? Will there be a KickStarter campaign for it?

I just ordered a co analyzer. Damn Alberto, too late. But come up with the HE analyzer and I'm in also.

I am sorry :depressed:

.... Will there be a KickStarter campaign for it?

Yes. We expect to begin the campaign in a couple of weeks.

Hi Jim, it is unlikely that we will have any time soon an He analyzer for 3 reasons: a) market is very small, b) He sensors consume too much power and c) He sensors are so damn expensive (if you can find them).

Do you have a target retail price?

$249.99 for the version without O2 sensor (you can add your own). Will be $199 on Kickstarter
$299.99 for the full version. Will be $249 on Kickstarter
$349.99 for the Deluxe version (it includes low pressure adapter and carrying case). Will be $299 on Kickstarter

COOtwo can be used also in stand-alone mode (no smartphone required - unless you want/need to change some settings and/or calibrate it).
You can retrieve the analysis logs later on when you connect it to your smartphone.

looking forward to the campaign....

..... anybody want to buy a NitroxBuddy???

What is the C0 calibration required? My sensorcon is 180 days with 50 ppm C0.
