In a test (on CO2 exhaust port) the device showed only on errors (Err) and just beeped (a sound) at greater distances. It was only after manual reset of the unit the CO2 value has been displayed and it squeaked in short intervals (four tones). The beep was adequate in volume and would in case of danger warning sufficed .Unfortunately the alarm is triggered only after my intervention. The device is in my opinion not recommended. I'll dispose of the device.
