Device Overview
Front view of the Protmex PTH-10D detector, highlighting the digital display for CO, temperature, and humidity readings.
Diagram showing the compact dimensions of the detector: 70mm width, 76mm height, and 30mm depth.
The device features a central LCD screen displaying real-time CO concentration in PPM, current temperature in Celsius, and relative humidity percentage. Surrounding the display is a color-coded ring indicating safety levels. A single button below the screen controls power and display modes. The top includes a loop for attaching a lanyard or carabiner, and the back features magnetic adsorption for easy placement.
Setup
- Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge the device using the provided USB cable. Connect the cable to the charging port on the device and a standard USB power adapter (not included). The battery indicator on the display will show charging status.
- Power On/Off: Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the device on or off.
- Placement: Place the detector in an area where carbon monoxide may be present, such as near fuel-burning appliances, in an RV, tent, or cabin. Ensure the sensor openings are unobstructed. For optimal CO detection, place it at breathing height.
Operating Instructions
Understanding the Display
The display shows the current CO concentration in parts per million (PPM), temperature, and humidity. The surrounding ring changes color based on CO levels.
Detailed view of the temperature and humidity readings on the detector's screen.
- CO (ppm): Displays the current carbon monoxide concentration.
- Temperature: Shows the ambient temperature in Celsius.
- Humidity: Indicates the relative humidity percentage.
- Battery Indicator: Shows the remaining battery life.
Color-Coded Alarm Levels
Visual representation of the CO alarm thresholds: Green for safe, Yellow for warning, and Red for danger.
- Green (0-49 ppm): Indicates safe CO levels.
- Yellow (50-99 ppm): Warning level. An audible alarm may sound, and the device will flash yellow. Take precautions and ventilate the area.
- Red (100+ ppm): Danger level. A loud audible alarm will sound, and the device will flash red. Immediately evacuate the area and seek fresh air.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquid enters the sensor openings.
- Battery Care: Recharge the device when the battery indicator is low. Avoid fully depleting the battery frequently to prolong its lifespan. If storing for an extended period, charge it periodically.
- Storage: Store the device in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not turn on | Low or no battery charge | Charge the device fully using the USB cable. |
| Inaccurate CO/Temp/Humidity readings | Sensor obstruction, extreme environmental conditions, or device malfunction. | Ensure sensor openings are clear. Move the device to a stable environment. If issues persist, contact support. |
| Audible alarm sounds frequently without apparent CO source | High CO levels are genuinely present, or false alarm due to strong fumes/chemicals. | Evacuate to fresh air immediately. If it's a false alarm, ventilate the area and ensure no strong odors are near the device. |
| Battery drains quickly | Frequent alarms, continuous backlight use, or aging battery. | Reduce exposure to CO sources. Ensure device is fully charged. If battery life significantly degrades, consider contacting support for replacement options. |
