cerbo, Digital Input settings, CO alert (carbon monoxide)?

Hello,

In the Victron settings of the Digital Input I still found only the bullet point "CO2" alert,
but no "CO" Alert.

@ Victron is it possible to ad/ create an bullet point for carbon monoxide - "CO" as well in the cerbo digital input settings menu?

The facts behind both gases:

- carbon monoxide CO is a problem in houses, campers, boats.
Is a poisonous, flammable Gas, slightly less dense than air.
As a result of running engines generators or gas/ gasoline/ diesel heaters, stoves, barbecue (in closed rooms).
It's a product of a incomplete oxygen O and carbon C.

- carbon dioxide CO2 is normaly a problem in pubs, brewerys, vine cellars, or fire extinguishing systems.
CO2 is a natural gas in atmosphere.
CO2 is more dense than air.
The problem is a huge amount of CO2 that floods deep points eg. cellars or closed rooms and pushes the oxygen of the atmosphere out.
It's a product of a full oxidation of oxygen O2 and carbon C.

@PV_Bauer

How are you setting the alarm?

Once you enable it you have to go back to the devices list and set it up further there.

Instructions are in the manual.

Hi Alexandra,
the digital input/ alarm works.
But I can't find a carbon monoxide alarm. So it is displayed as carbon dioxide CO2 alarm, not as carbon monoxide CO alarm.

You can change the name in the device settings.

Hello derrick thomas,
thank you for the hint. Meanwhile I found this workaround with the displayed name by myself too, to change the carbon dioxide alert to carbon monoxide alert.
