The Nova 580 Series Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm monitors are designed for the continuous detection of CO in ambient air. The CO sensor is capable of excursions over 1000 PPM with no damage. The CO sensor is of the disposable electrochemical type with an expected life of between 3-4 years. The sensor needs no warm up time and is ready to go as soon as the monitor is turned on.

The 'DR' models are configured such that the chlorine sensor(s) are mounted outside of, and electrically connected to, the main cabinet (max distance between remote sensor & main cabinet - 50ft). This allows allows CO monitoring of single or multiple remote zones, with centralized display and alarming features. The remote sensors are the diffusion type, with no pump or moving parts.

Optional dual level alarm with local indication, relay contacts, and audible alert available. Alarm set points are pre-set at Nova but are field adjustable if desired. Flashing strobe light and upgraded cabinets also available.




Models:
  • 580DR1 - one diffusion sensor remote from main cabinet
  • 580DR2 - two remote diffusion sensors
  • 580DR3 - three remote diffusion sensors
  • 580DR4 - four remote diffusion sensors
