SCM4 Fieldpiece Carbon Monoxide Detector - Fast Enough for Walk Around Tests. The SCM4 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector has a very fast reaction time, and measures CO in parts per million (ppm). Its electrochemical sensor is fast enough for walk-around tests. Features and benefits include: Field-replaceable CO sensor; Advanced three-pin sensor measures 0 to 1000 ppm CO; Calibrate / Zero SCM4 to ambient quickly with the ZERO button; Audio and visual alarms w/mute; Bright-blue, backlit dual-display with MAX and real-time measurements displayed; Magnetic hanger for hands-free operation; Auto Power-Off (APO).
The "Walk-Around" Test: The SCM4 responds to changes in CO levels in real time.
