CO2 Buddy

Personal CO2 Protection Wherever Fixed Monitoring Falls Short

Carbon dioxide is a tasteless, odourless gas that can pose serious health risks without any warning. While fixed CO2 monitoring systems are effective for covering large enclosed spaces, they offer little protection for workers who move between locations throughout the day or who enter confined spaces where fixed monitoring is not installed. The Analox CO2 Buddy was designed specifically to fill that gap.

Using Non-Dispersive Infrared sensing technology, the CO2 Buddy continuously monitors the surrounding air for elevated CO2 levels. When unsafe conditions are detected, it alerts the wearer through audible, visual and vibration alarms simultaneously, ensuring the warning is hard to miss even in noisy or distracting environments. The unit also tracks Time-Weighted Average exposure over an eight-hour period, helping workers and employers stay aligned with workplace exposure standards and identify long-term risk before it becomes a problem.

Simple to Use, Simple to Maintain

Where most portable CO2 monitors require the unit to be sent back to the manufacturer for calibration, the CO2 Buddy can be calibrated on site using nothing more than fresh air. This removes a significant cost and downtime burden for businesses that rely on the instrument daily. Single-button operation keeps the unit straightforward for any worker to use, with a full charge taking just two hours over a standard Micro USB connection.

Built for Daily Use Across a Wide Range of Industries

The CO2 Buddy is used across a broad range of settings where CO2 exposure is a known risk. This includes food and beverage venues such as pubs, bars, breweries and fast food outlets, laboratories and medical facilities undertaking cryogenic process work, food processing and storage facilities, agricultural grow houses, and stadiums and shopping centres using CO2 for refrigeration or beverage systems. Gas and beverage delivery drivers who move between multiple sites throughout the day are also key users, since they are exposed to varying and sometimes unmonitored CO2 risk at each location they visit.

Reliable, Durable Protection

Operating in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C, the CO2 Buddy is built for genuine day-to-day industrial and commercial use. The robust sensor design supports a long service life, and the unit is backed by a two-year warranty. Combining Analox’s trusted sensor technology with Gastech’s local expertise, the CO2 Buddy offers an effective and affordable way to stay protected wherever CO2 is present.
