CO2 safety Frequently asked questions

Why is a CO2 Alarm needed?

CO2 is used as ‘dispense gas’ for beer and sodas
OSHA classify CO2 as a toxic gas, it can, and does, cause deaths, in amounts as little as 2%
OSHA recommends first warning alarm to be at 0.5%
It is odorless, colorless and tasteless so cannot be detected by humans
Unless extracted from a space with a suction pump, it can remain dangerous for years

I don’t need one as my CO2 is stored outside

Although the storage is external, it would then be piped in to the building; most leakage is from pipe joins/valves and badly made connections to beer kegs and post mix units

Where should the Analox 50 be positioned?

Because CO2 is heavier than air, the Analox 50TM should be low down, no greater than 2 foot from floor level
The Analox 50TM is purpose designed for this application and will fix to uneven walls, the Analox 50TM is also water resistant.

Is a special electrical supply needed?

No a standard domestic 110v AC socket is all that is required, this should be within 2 foot of the Analox 50TM.

How much maintenance is needed?

The Analox 50TM is designed not to need regular maintenance although we would recommend a ‘confidence check’ every 2-3 years, where CO2 is applied to the Analox 50TM to check alarms.
Because Analox use a specific Infra Red sensor, this is non consumable and will not require changing in normal use.

What type of alarms does it have?

As a standard the Analox 50TM has audio/visual alarms. An audible sounder is provided on the main sensor unit to warn staff in the gas storage room, a second is provided on the remote alarm repeater to warn staff not to enter the as storage room. In addition red alarm lights will flash on both units.
As an option we offer a remote alarm repeater with a High Intensity LED strobe visual alarm.

We move gas tanks and beer kegs around, how vulnerable is the Analox 50TM?

In high traffic areas we would recommend fitting the stainless steel protector, which should withstand most impacts

Occasionally we hose down the area to clean it, will this affect the Analox 50TM

The Analox 50TM is housed in a water resistant enclosure; in addition the sensor can be fitted with a splashguard which will reduce the likelihood of water entering the sensor.

We have 2 doors in to our gas store area; I notice the Analox 50TM only comes with one remote alarm repeater.
