Electronic Components:

  • Gas Sensor: At the core of GAO Tek’s CO detectors is a highly sensitive gas sensor designed to detect the presence of carbon monoxide in the air. Our detectors commonly utilize electrochemical sensors, metal oxide semiconductor sensors, or biomimetic sensors.
  • Microcontroller or Processor: GAO Tek’s CO detectors employ a sophisticated microcontroller or processor responsible for processing data received from the gas sensor. This critical component analyzes the carbon monoxide concentration, and we use it to trigger alarms when levels exceed predefined thresholds.
  • Signal Processing Circuitry: To enhance accuracy and reduce false alarms, GAO Tek’s detectors incorporate advanced signal processing circuitry. This technology effectively filters and processes raw data from the gas sensor.
  • Power Supply: GAO Tek’s CO detectors feature a stable power supply, which can be battery-powered, hardwired to the building’s electrical system, or a combination of both for redundancy. This ensures continuous and reliable operation.

Software Components: 

  • Alarm Algorithm: Our CO detectors run specialized software with a proprietary alarm algorithm. This algorithm, developed by us, determines when to trigger alarms based on the concentration of carbon monoxide, providing timely and accurate warnings.
  • Self-Testing Mechanism: GAO Tek’s detectors include a self-testing feature within the software. Our detectors regularly perform tests on the sensor and other components to ensure reliability over time.
  • Memory and Storage: Some GAO Tek detectors come equipped with memory to store historical data or logs related to Carbon Monoxide levels. This information can be valuable for diagnostics and analysis, and we designed this feature with user convenience in mind.

Mechanical Components: 

  • Enclosure: The physical casing or enclosure of GAO Tek’s CO detectors is a robust mechanical component. Our design protects the electronic and sensing components from environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting and efficient functionality.
  • Display and User Interface: GAO Tek’s CO detectors feature a user-friendly display that presents real-time carbon monoxide levels and relevant information. We have incorporated buttons or touch interfaces for user interaction, allowing users to test the detector or silence alarms easily.
  • Alarm System: The mechanical components include an audible and visual alarm system. GAO Tek’s detectors are equipped with sirens, LEDs, and other indicators to alert occupants in case of elevated carbon monoxide concentrations, emphasizing our commitment to safety.
  • Mounting and Installation Components: GAO Tek’s CO detectors come with comprehensive mounting and installation components. These include brackets, screws, and user manuals designed by us for proper setup, ensuring ease of installation for users.
