cap.
Plug-in Oxygen Sensor
The plug-in sensor is secured in the detector assembly by the housing cap. It has two pins
that mate with the sockets in the detector housing body. Through a series of chemical and
electrical reactions, the sensor produces an electrical output that corresponds to the
detection range of the transmitter.
CO Detector
The detector consists of the CO sensor, charcoal filter with rubber boot, detector housing
body, detector housing cap, and cap gasket.

Detector Housing, Housing Cap, & Cap Gasket
The detector housing body protects the sensing components within the housing. Use the
3/4” NPT mounting threads at the top of the housing to screw the CO detector into the
bottom conduit hub of the junction box. Use the removable cap near the bottom of the
housing to access the sensor for maintenance or replacement. The cap protects the sensor
from damage and includes a flame arrestor which contains any sparks which may occur
within the detector housing. A cap gasket seals the interface between the housing and cap.
A flame arrestor guard is permanently bonded to the cap.
Two wires extend from the top of the detector housing body. Use these wires to connect
the CO detector to the multi-point detector. The housing includes a four-socket pattern.
This socket pattern accepts the sensor’s four pins to secure the sensor within the detector
housing. A pre-amplifier, located between the sockets and two interconnect wires,
conditions the sensor’s signal before the signal reaches the controller.
