When was the last time you had your CO meter calibrated?

Carbon monoxide (CO) meters are a vital warning system in the endless fight against the odourless and colourless lethal gas.

Keeping your tools calibrated is essential to providing an early warning system that can save countless lives. If you haven't tested your CO meter in a while, it might be time to have a Testo professional take a look at it.

Certified testing

Testo is currently offering a special that's valid until the 31st of May, which offers a discounted calibration price for testo 317-3 CO monitor owners. Technicians are able to receive the following deals:

• One-point calibration reduced from $86 to $69.
• Two-point calibration reduced from $138 to $109.

After sending your CO meter to our state-of-the-art facility, our experts will test it against a reference instrument, which will identify any discrepancies in the following areas:

• Meter output signal.
• Measured readings and any possible deviations.
• Degree of accuracy.

Once your CO meter has been logged in the system, you won't have to worry about remembering to calibrate your tool again. It will be entered into a database that automatically sends out an email when your monitor is due for service. This system also catalogues your certifications, which can be printed and sent to you should you need a replacement. National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) certification is also available upon request.

Upgrade your instrument

If you want to take advantage of the calibration special offer but don't own a testo 317-3, it could be time for an upgrade. The meter is sold with a carrying case and belt clip, as well as an attachable strap for technicians always on the go.

Armed with a three-year warranty, the 317-3 CO monitor is equipped with the latest digital display that makes taking measurements of CO concentration in ambient air a breeze. Able to run for 150 hours on two AAA batteries, it's another dependable tool that provides 3 parts per million (ppm) accuracy and 1 ppm resolution. Users can take advantage of the configurable alarm system, which features both a visual and audible warning when a threshold has been met for simple detection of dangerous CO levels.

Don't wait too long – the discount ends the 31st of May. Contact a calibration specialist today to get information on where to send your monitor for service and to learn more about Testo products.
