IAQ Detectors, the instrumentation brand of Ace Instruments, manufactures CE certified wall-mount and duct-type carbon monoxide transmitters for parking garages, mechanical rooms, generator rooms, and commercial buildings. Carbon monoxide is colourless and odourless, so continuous instrumentation is the only reliable detection method.
WHO guidelines set an 8-hour exposure limit of 25 ppm, while OSHA 29 CFR 1910 sets a workplace limit of 50 ppm.

Where continuous CO monitoring is required
Parking structures
Enclosed and semi-enclosed parking garages require continuous CO monitoring to trigger exhaust ventilation before concentrations reach alarm thresholds.
Mechanical & generator rooms
Combustion equipment rooms are monitored continuously for CO buildup from incomplete combustion or exhaust leakage.
Hospitals & clinics
Boiler and plant rooms adjacent to occupied hospital areas are monitored per ASHRAE 170-2021 mechanical safety provisions.
Commercial buildings
Underground parking and loading dock areas in commercial buildings integrate CO transmitters with BMS-controlled exhaust fans.
Educational institutions
Boiler rooms and bus loading areas at schools are monitored for CO per NBC India mechanical safety guidance.
Industrial facilities
Enclosed production areas with combustion-based equipment monitor CO continuously for worker safety compliance.
