Checking CO and CO₂ in a house with five rooms

A gas engineer has to measure the CO and CO₂ concentration in every room of a house. He brings four testo probes and his smartphone with the testo Smart app. This walkthrough follows him through the app's CO/CO₂ Ambient (CMDDA1) measuring program, screen by screen, and shows where his probes are in the house at every moment.

The equipment: four probes, used as two pairs

CO and CO₂ are always measured together, so each room gets one CO probe and one CO₂ probe. With two pairs, the engineer can measure two rooms at the same time.

All four probes are connected to the testo Smart app over Bluetooth. The app refers to each probe by the last three digits of its serial number.

The house: five rooms

Living room, Bedroom, Kitchen, Bathroom and Hallway. Every room is measured for 15 minutes, and the app reports the average CO and CO₂ value for it.

The plan: three rounds of 15 minutes

Two probe pairs and five rooms mean three measuring rounds. Between rounds, the engineer carries the probes to the next rooms.

  1. Configure the programAdd the second probe set, create the five rooms as measurement sites, and set alarm limits: CO warning 10 ppm, alarm 25 ppm; CO₂ warning 1,200 ppm, alarm 2,000 ppm.
  2. Round 1: Living room and BedroomSet A in the Living room, set B in the Bedroom.
  3. Round 2: Kitchen and BathroomSet B moves to the Kitchen, set A to the Bathroom.
  4. Round 3: HallwaySet A moves to the Hallway; set B is not needed.
  5. Save and reportSave the measurement, then export it as JSON or CSV, or create a PDF report.
