Electronic Components:

  • CO Sensor: GAO Tek utilizes electrochemical, biomimetic, or metal oxide semiconductor technology to detect CO levels accurately.
  • Microcontroller/Processor: Controls sensor operation, data processing, and alarm triggering.
  • Alarm System: Produces audible (alarm sound) and visual (LED indicators) alerts upon CO detection.
  • Power Supply: GAO Tek’s usually operates on batteries, though some may have a backup power source or be wired into the electrical system.
  • Communication Module: Sometimes, it allows for connectivity to smart home systems or mobile devices for remote alerts.

Software Components:

  • Algorithm for CO Detection: Processes sensor data and triggers alarms based on preset CO concentration thresholds.
  • Self-testing software: Conduct regular self-checks to ensure the detector’s functionality and accuracy.
  • Data Logging: Records CO levels over time for analysis or diagnostic purposes.

Mechanical Components:

  • Enclosure/Housing: We provide physical protection for internal components and ensure proper placement within living spaces.
  • Display Panel: Some of our models feature digital displays showing CO levels or system status.
  • Ventilation Openings: Allow air circulation for CO to reach the sensor.
  • Test/Reset Buttons: Enable manual testing and resetting of the detector to ensure proper functionality.
