CO detector with ability to shut off power

CO detector with ability to shut off power

PostBy: av8r On: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:58 am

I've asked about this in the past and still can't find anything commercially available. I'd like to have a CO detector that would allow for shutting down power to a device, in this case the stoker motor on a coal stove. I know I can rig something up using a latching relay, but I'd prefer to buy something already built. Any ideas?

Jim D. builds all his stoves with that very feature.

I install one on each floor to shut off the power of the blower venting air around the Vig.

Thanks..that has relay contacts, but what do you use for the actual power shutoff module?

I have a power box and the blower is plug in it.
The relay is 12V,and I have a transfo 120V to 12 V placed in a regular electric 120V box with fem.120V plugs. Sorry for my poor translation.
In fact it's is in a gegular 120V outlet box. A plug cord get out of that box and connect to the power. The blower is connected to that outlet. From the relay wires run to the Co alarm. If Co is detected, alarms sound and the blower stops.
Easy to understand for you??????????????? if not I can ask a friend better words.

Yes, in one of the old threads, the guy at CoalJack was offering them to the public, they are standard with their stoves.

I believe you can get them for Boats and RV's too, to shut off the generators if CO is present. Just have to wire them up a bit differently or may need a transformer (12V or 24V) They have many different ones available.

Yes the relay is in it.
The power arrives at the white outlet, the silver box(connected to the white power outlet box) with the relay brings the power to one outlet for the transfo at the bottom and the other to the motor.

Posted this earlier in your other thread...but neither is this a Plug N Play solution.
When this relay is combined w/ a Interconnected Detector it will switch whatever you connect to it.

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Relay Module

This relay will only activate when it receives a CO signal from an interconnected Carbon Monoxide Alarm.


This is the detector which is compatible w/ the relay:
