Why Every Generator Owner Needs One
Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless, and produced by every gas generator. It is the single most serious risk of running backup power, and it kills people every storm season — usually because a generator was placed too close to a window, door, or vent, or run inside a garage.
A CO detector is the only way to know whether the air around your setup is actually safe. If you own or are buying a gas generator, this belongs in your kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need this if I already have a home CO alarm?
Wall-mounted home alarms monitor one fixed spot. This handheld unit lets you check the air right where the generator is running, near vents, or in a garage or RV — places a fixed alarm does not cover.
Does it include both sound and visual alerts?
Yes. It uses an audible alarm plus a visual warning on the backlit display.
Can I use it in an RV or truck?
Yes. It is designed for RVs, trucks, and other enclosed spaces where exhaust can accumulate.
Is it ready to use when it arrives?
Yes. Batteries are included, along with a carrying bag and screwdriver.
Note: This device is a monitoring tool and does not replace safe generator operation. Always run gas generators outdoors, at least 20 feet from doors, windows, and vents.
