## Questions & Answers

**Q: What should I pay attention to before using the CT-300?**
A: Please open the CT-300 in clean air (such as outdoors with ventilation) and wait for the preheating to complete, which is expected to take 5 seconds.

**Q: Why do I smell gas leakage but the CT-300 doesn't display any values?**
A: Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas. The odor you're smelling may not be from carbon monoxide gas. Try using a combustible gas detector for testing.

**Q: Why can't carbon monoxide be detected in a closed room?**
A: When there is no significant source of combustion indoors, even in a closed room, carbon monoxide will not be generated. The gases exhaled by humans contain carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a different gas from carbon monoxide (CO).

**Q: Why can't carbon monoxide be detected even when there is a combustion source present?**
A: Not all combustion produces CO gas, only incomplete combustion does, which is characterized by a red/yellow flame in most cases. Also, ensure proximity during measurement to prevent gas dispersion, which may lead to undetectable concentrations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great detector that gives peace of mind
*by A***R on 11 February 2024*

This funky orange CO detector comes in a nice retail box, which is compact and without wasted packaging. I’m not an expert on this sort of kit but I am impressed by the build quality for such a relatively inexpensive device. This feels pro-level, and I know that those detectors cost in the hundreds. It runs on 3 x AAA batteries, which are included for a change. I recalibrated my unit as it was giving strange readings out of the box, which is not unusual with detectors that have been in storage. (this is covered in the instruction booklet). The LCD is easy to read and has a backlight which helps a lot in dark conditions. The alarm is specific and loud, there’s no mistaking if it has detected excess CO. There is also a visual alarm for those hard of hearing. The unit has a lot of helpful settings, although historic min/max levels are not included, which seems like a strange omission. My £2.50 humidity detector has that function. In testing with our oil burner it easily detected CO from the exhaust, which shows the burner isn’t fully efficient (which no burner is, of course). Inside the house no leaks were found. This will be great for use at home or in a business, of course if you’re having problems always call the experts in right away and don’t rely on a cheap tool like this. The current price is £42.99, which I think is worth it considering how expensive a callout or professional unit would cost.
