March 25th, 2025 – ORMOND BEACH, FL – CO2Meter, the leading provider of gas detection solutions, proudly announces the launch of two new accessories for its industry-leading Remote Storage Safety 3 Alarms—the RAD-PMU Power Monitor Unit and the RAD-CDU Central Display Unit. These innovative additions are designed to enhance gas safety compliance while ensuring customers across a variety of industries can meet the ever-evolving safety code requirements around gas storage, usage, and monitoring.
The Growing Importance of Comprehensive Gas Detection Safety Systems
As workplace safety regulations continue to evolve, businesses handling carbon dioxide must stay ahead of stringent gas safety requirements. The risks associated with CO2 exposure ranging from health hazards to catastrophic safety incidents have made gas detection systems an essential component of workplace safety protocols.
Regulatory bodies, including the International Fire Code (IFC), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), and the National Board Inspection Code (NBIC), have introduced updated requirements for CO2 monitoring in enclosed spaces. These codes mandate proper gas hazard detection, emergency alerting, and continuous system operation to prevent occupational exposure risks.
To meet these growing demands, CO2Meter’s Remote Storage Safety Alarm, now complemented by the RAD-PMU and RAD-CDU, offers businesses a robust, code-compliant solution to protect personnel and facilities.
Strengthening CO2 Safety Compliance with New Accessories
The Remote CO2 Storage Safety 3 Alarm has long been recognized as the gold standard in gas safety monitoring, safeguarding workers across industries such as hospitality, beverage dispensing, brewing, indoor agriculture, and industrial manufacturing. Now, with the introduction of the RAD-PMU Power Monitor Unit and the RAD-CDU Central Display Unit, businesses can further strengthen their compliance and safety initiatives.
By integrating these accessories into their gas detection systems, facilities can confidently meet stringent regulatory requirements while improving real-time monitoring, response efficiency, and overall workplace safety.
RAD-CDU Central Display Unit: Maximizing Visibility Across Facilities
In environments where multiple gas sensors are installed, centralized monitoring is critical for quick response times and workplace efficiency. The RAD-CDU Central Display Unit acts as a centralized hub, providing the ability to measure across 12 gas sensors, giving real-time alarm status updates and data consolidation to streamline CO2 or O2 gas safety management.
This solution is particularly valuable for breweries, restaurants, beverage dispense stations, laboratories, and gas distribution centers where multiple CO2 monitoring points are required.
Key Benefits of the RAD-CDU:
- Centralized Monitoring – Consolidates CO2 or O2 alarm data from multiple sensors, reducing response time to potential hazards.
- Improved Workplace Safety – Allows facility managers to quickly assess and respond to CO2 or O2 alerts, preventing hazardous exposure.
- Regulatory Compliance Support – Aligns with International Fire Code (IFC), NFPA, and NBIC requirements by ensuring reliable and accessible CO2 safety monitoring.
“Many of our customers operate in environments where CO2 monitoring spans multiple locations,” said Travis Lenander, CEO of CO2Meter. “The RAD-CDU Central Display Unit enables a proactive approach to safety, providing facility managers with a streamlined, real-time solution to ensure compliance and protect personnel.”
RAD-PMU Power Monitor Unit: Ensuring Uninterrupted Safety
One of the most overlooked risks in gas safety is power failure. A gas safety detection system is only effective if it remains operational at all times. The RAD-PMU Power Monitor Unit provides real-time power monitoring to prevent safety system disruptions, ensuring uninterrupted gas detection even in the event of power failure.
Key Benefits of the RAD-PMU:
- Uninterrupted Monitoring – Alerts users to power disruptions, ensuring continuous CO2 or O2 safety monitoring.
- Regulatory Compliance – Helps facilities meet evolving safety codes by maintaining an active gas detection safety system with up-to-date functionalities and capabilities to mitigate gas hazard from occurring.
- Enhanced Protection – Works with CO2Meter safety alarms, such as the RAD-0102-6 or RAD-0002-ZR, to ensure personnel remain alerted even when power is compromised.
“Power failures can pose hidden hazards when it comes to gas safety monitoring,” said Josh Pringle, EVP of CO2Meter. “The RAD-PMU Power Monitor Unit provides peace of mind for facility operators and gas distributors, ensuring their CO2 safety system remains operational under any circumstances.”
Addressing the Evolving Gas Safety Code Requirements
With workplace safety regulations becoming increasingly stringent, facilities must ensure that their gas safety systems remain compliant with both current and future codes. Several key regulatory changes are shaping the industry:
- International Fire Code (IFC) Updates: Mandating CO2 safety alarms in enclosed spaces, ensuring proper pressure vessel integrity, and emergency alerting.
- NFPA Gas Hazard Monitoring Requirements: Requiring continuous gas monitoring systems to prevent occupational exposure risks.
- Building Code Changes: Increasingly strict CO2 storage and ventilation regulations necessitating advanced gas detection and monitoring solutions.
By incorporating the RAD-PMU and RAD-CDU into their gas safety protocols, businesses can stay ahead of these regulatory shifts, reducing compliance risks while ensuring employee safety.
Why a Comprehensive Gas Safety Detection System is Essential
While individual CO2 safety alarms are critical, a fully integrated gas detection safety system offers the highest level of protection. A comprehensive system should include:
- Reliable CO2/O2 Detection Alarms – Devices that continuously monitor gas levels and alert personnel to hazardous concentrations.
= Power Monitoring for Uninterrupted Operation – Solutions like the RAD-PMU ensure gas safety systems remain active, even during power failures.
- Centralized Visibility and Data Consolidation – The RAD-CDU provides facility-wide insights, enabling faster response times.
- Compliance with Regulatory Standards – Ensuring all safety equipment meets the latest fire, building, and occupational safety codes.
Without a fully integrated system, businesses risk gaps in safety coverage that could lead to serious health hazards, operational disruptions, or non-compliance penalties.
