Introducing The Protector
The handheld, intrinsically safe and IP67-rated carbon monoxide detector designed to provide precise and reliable monitoring of carbon monoxide levels in many industries.
Rugged. Ergonomic.
Intrinsically Safe.
The Protector utilizes advanced electrochemical sensor technology to detect carbon monoxide gas in the environment. Its rugged and ergonomic design, intrinsic safety, and IP67 rating make it suitable for on-site applications in oil refineries, gas pipelines, and other facilities.
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.
Cloud Software
& Phone App
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 data synchronization, bumps, calibrations, and firmware updates through an insertion pocket that the Protector slides into.
Sort, View and Download Data with Protector Fleet Manager
Cloud storage and data analysis are available with Protector Fleet Manger cloud software, visible from the internet or mobile devices. Fleet management compliance reports and specific data related to all devices in the protector system can be viewed. Data can be sorted, viewed, and downloaded in a way suitable to each customer with dynamic tables. Adjustable parameters for the Protector are synchronized between the handheld and Facility app, allowing setting from the menu or from the cloud.
Lower Cost of Ownership
Designed from the ground up to minimize the high costs associated with portable gas detection management.
Save up to 90% on test gas over other systems and tens of thousands of dollars per year with the FastBump mode.
Maintenance time is reduced by hundreds of hours with a battery that lasts up to 5 years.
Quickly bump test in under 5 seconds making your workforce more productive by hundreds of hours each year.
Quickly configure fleets

Protector Features
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.
