Carbon Monoxide Probe
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The CO-210 Carbon Monoxide Probe (hereafter referred to as
“the Probe”) detects the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) and
measures concentrations between 1-1000 parts/million (PPM).
The Probe can be used in one of two ways:
•As a stand-alone unit that indicates the presence of CO by a
flashing, light-emitting diode (LED) and a beeper.
•As an accessory to a digital multimeter (DMM) that reads out
1 PPM as 1 mV dc. (The Probe is compatible with most
DMMs that have an input impedance of ≥1 MΩ.)

W Safety Information - Read First
⇒Do not use the Probe as a personal safety monitor.
⇒Learn and recognize the effects of CO poisoning.
0-1 PPM Normal background levels.
9 PPM ASHRAE Standard 62-1989 for living areas.
50 PPM OSHA enclosed space 8-hour average level.*
100 PPM OSHA exposure limit.*
200 PPM Mild headache, fatigue, nausea and dizziness.
800 PPM Dizziness, nausea and convulsions.
Death within 2 to 3 hours.
* U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) Regulation 1917.24: The CO content in any
enclosed space shall be maintained at not more than 50 PPM
(0.005%). Remove employees from enclosed space if the CO
concentration exceeds 100 PPM (0.01%).
Turning the Probe On
Install the battery. To turn the Probe on, press the green button.
The probe beeps twice, then performs a 10-second self-test,
during which the Probe emits a series of 2 beeps followed by a
pause.
If the Probe passes the self-test, the Probe begins monitoring,
which is indicated by a beep every two seconds.
Self-Test
The Probe tests the sensor and the battery each time it is turned
on and continously monitors the battery.
If the battery needs to be replaced or the sensor fails, the Probe
emits a series of five beeps, followed by a long pause, and
another series of five beeps. The Probe then turns itself off.
If after replacing the battery, the alarm condition persists, the
sensor may have failed. Contact an authorized Fluke service
center for information on how to replace the sensor.

Establishing a Baseline
Before testing for CO, establish a baseline against which the
Probe compares other environments.
Do this by turning on the Probe. If the Probe detects between
0-3 PPM of CO, the beeper sounds, the LED flashes once a
second, and the Probe establishes a new baseline.
If the Probe detects more than 3 PPM, it does not establish a
new baseline, but starts taking CO measurements.
Automatic Power-Off
The Probe automatically turns itself off after 20 minutes.
Muting the Beeper
To mute the beeper, press the ON/OFF switch for more than 2
seconds when turning the instrument on.
To re-enable the beeper, turn the Probe off and then turn it back
on.
Using the Probe as a Stand-Alone Unit
When the Probe is used as a stand-alone indicator, the LED and
beeper indicate the presence of CO.
The faster the LED flashes and the beeper sounds, the higher
the concentration of CO.
Above 200 PPM the LED stays on, the beeper sounds
continuously, and the frequency of the tone increases with the
concentration of CO.

Using the Probe as a DMM Accessory
1. Plug the RJ45 connector into the Probe and plug the Probe
cable into the voltage and common jacks on the DMM.
2. Put the DMM in the mV dc (or V dc) function, and turn the
DMM on.
To avoid false readings, replace the battery in the DMM
as soon as the low battery indicator appears.
3. The DMM displays 1 mV dc for each 1 PPM of CO.
Above 1000 PPM, the Probe outputs 5000 mV to indicate an
over-range condition.

Common Sources of CO
Common sources of potentially dangerous levels of CO are:
•Poorly maintained furnaces, gas heaters, or fireplaces.
•Dirty or plugged chimneys, or flue exhausts.
•Poorly maintained gas, oil, or kerosene appliances.
•Internal combustion engines (e.g., automobiles,
lawnmowers, blowers).
