The Macurco CO2 400 PPM is a calibration gas cylinder for fixed CO2 detectors. Specifically, it ships as a 17-liter steel canister with non-refillable disposable construction. As a result, technicians use it for the low-end zero or span point during sensor calibration.
First, the cylinder pairs with Macurco Cal-Kit 4 and the CD6-FCK field kit. Then, it services the CD-6H, CD-12H, CD-6MC, CD-12MC, CD-6G, and CD-6B detector families. In addition, the (M) suffix on the LSC SKU denotes the Macurco-branded gas blend.
When to use Macurco CO2 400 PPM
Fresh outdoor air sits near 400 ppm CO2. Therefore, this cylinder serves as the practical zero reference for indoor CO2 sensors. Also, it provides a span point for low-range CO2 detectors used in HVAC demand-controlled ventilation.
