Snifit
Model 50
Carbon Monoxide Analyzer
Introduction
Designed for HVAC professionals and utility person-
nel, the Snifit Model 50 Analyzer is ideal for measur-
ing low levels of CO in ambient air such as in rooms
and garages, or around registers, furnaces, stoves,
water heaters, and other types of combustion appli-
ances. The Snifit samples the surrounding air and
shows the detected concentration of CO on its Liquid
Crystal Display. The Snifit is not intended to be used in
flue gases or in temperatures exceeding 104 °F (40 °C).

Backlight for viewing in dark areas
Compact pocket size
Low battery indication

3. Push the Calibration Cup over the sensor housing.
4. Attach a CO Span Gas Cylinder to the regulator.
Then apply span gas to the sensor by adjusting the
regulator knob for a flow rate of 2 SCFH.
5. Allow span gas to flow until the displayed reading
stabilizes – approx. 3 minutes. Then, using Calibra-
tion Tool 06-9453 (supplied in Calibration Tool /
Cup Kit 19-3242), turn the Span Adjust potentiom-
eter until the displayed reading matches the
concentration stamped on the Span Gas Cylinder.
6. Calibration is now complete. Turn off the Regula-
tor and remove the calibration equipment.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
Remove slotted screw from rear of
instrument; then lift off front case.
Replace 9V Alkaline battery
(Duracell MN1604 or equiv.) in
location shown in Figure 3; then
reinstall front case.
Sensor Replacement
The sensor needs replaced when it
can no longer be calibrated to the
Span Gas Cylinder value using the Span Adjust potenti-
ometer, or if it no longer responds to a CO source.
1. See Figure 4. Remove the screw from the rear of
the instrument; then lift off the front case and
remove the printed circuit board assembly.
2. Unplug the old sensor and remove its gasket.
Discard both items properly.
3. Inspect the sensor filter. Replace the filter if it has
become contaminated with dirt.
