General Description

The 706 is an advanced state-of-the-art carbon monoxide (CO) gas analyzer designed to provide part per million readings from 010,000 ppm. The 706 is capable of performing ambient as well as flue gas checks with its hot air probe and internal pump.

The 706 is utilizes an advanced long life electrochemical sensor that can be field calibrated and has a low replacement cost.

Features include IR printer port to print hard copy of data, 10 storage locations, Flow block indication, peak reading for test period as well as date and time.

CAUTION: The 706 is not designed as a personal

monitor. The display must be in view to

determine gas concentration.
