Description
Sensorcon Protector Handheld CO Detector 0-1000ppm with 5 Year Battery
Designed from the ground up to minimize high costs of portable gas monitoring
Introducing The Sensorcon Protector Handheld CO Monitor. Its rugged and ergonomic design, intrinsic safety, and IP67 rating make it suitable for on-site applications in HVAC/R, oil refineries, gas pipelines, and other facilities. The Protector utilizes advanced electrochemical sensor technology to detect carbon monoxide gas in the environment.
It can be used as a standalone device to display CO parts per million (ppm) values and log shift, alarm, bump, and calibration data. The Protector handheld gas detector has built-in memory for storing 1109 alarms, 359 bump tests, 19 calibrations, and 359 shifts. Each log is saved in the handheld detector until it is full, and then they will start to be overwritten starting at the beginning.
The Protector also features seamless cloud data storage and connectivity, enabled through built-in Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology. Two options are provided to connect and send data to the Protector Fleet Manager cloud software. An app called Protector Mobile Connect allows quick and efficient data synchronization and provides basic functions to initiate bumps, calibrations, and firmware updates. Optionally, a small footprint dock is available to facilitate the same data synchronization.
Key Features & Benefits

- Four different alarms combining sound, vibration, display changes, and lights to warn of various levels of gas exposure
- Alarm sequences increase in intensity with higher exposure risk
- Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity for seamless sync via app or dock
- Fast bump-test mode under 5 seconds
- OTA (Over the Air) firmware updates via mobile app or dock
- Intrinsically safe, certified for use in hazardous atmospheres
- IP67 rated, protected from dust and can be submerged to 1 meter for 30 minutes
- Long battery life, estimated 5 years (8 hr shift, no alarms, 1 data upload/day)
- Replaceable battery, sensor module/filter, and alarm sounder
- Multiple ways to calibrate, field calibration via device menus, via app, or via optional dock
- High-contrast graphic LCD display with backlight, shows CO ppm, battery status, STEL, shift TWA, and current time
Once opened or activated, units are Non Returnable / Non Refundable. See our Returns Page Exclusions section for more info.
High-Contrast Display and Controls
The device features a high-contrast LCD screen that displays real-time CO concentrations and other essential information. Battery status, current time, STEL, and shift TWA are also displayed along with the gas concentration in the main screen. The main screen also displays special alarm identifiers around the gas type during an alarm condition. The display has a backlight that illuminates on a button press.
Audible and Visual Alarms
The Protector includes four different alarms, which are combinations of sounds, vibrations, display changes, and lights to warn the user of various levels of gas detection. Alarm sequences increase intensity with increased exposure risk.
Advanced Electrochemical Sensor Element
The Protector has an advanced electrochemical sensor that provides reliable and stable CO gas readings. Electrochemical sensor elements are designed to have a linear output response over the operating range. Very small and very large levels of gas can be detected and accurately processed with a microcontroller. Once digitized, the signal can provide warnings of various exposure limits. The sensor module can be easily replaced by the user when needed.
Over the Air (OTA) Firmware Upgrades
The device features convenient over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates through Bluetooth communication to the Protector Mobile Connect app or a dock. Notifications of available firmware upgrades occur on the mobile app and on the Protector Fleet Manager cloud software.
Calibration
The Protector can be calibrated in the field in different ways. The device has a menu system that can be used to initiate a calibration with the use of a calibration cup that snaps onto the housing. A phone app can also make use of the calibration cup and initiate the process from the app. A third way to perform calibrations is with a dock that can be used to calibrate PRO-CO-1000 devices. Calibrating Protectors is recommended at an interval of 30 days to maintain the accuracy of aging sensors.
Bump Testing
The gas detector features a bump function that allows users to initiate and monitor bump tests directly from the companion mobile app.
