CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR FOR AIR VEHICLES

摘要

A carbon monoxide detector (16) for an air vehicle wherein the indicated and alarmed level of carbon monoxide is compensated to account for the increased susceptibility of a human body to the effects of carbon monoxide as the ambient air pressure is decreased. A pressure sensor (36) provides a signal utilized to adjust a carbon monoxide level signal or a carbon monoxide level alarm set point. A display (24) of the carbon monoxide sensor (16) may be utilized to present both the time and the adjusted level of carbon monoxide to the occupants of the air vehicle.
