Compact wearable CO monitoring with visual and audible alarms, ID-card display and a two-year normal-operation life once activated.Wearable CO awareness
Keep identification visible and personal CO monitoring close by.
The KANE78 is designed for daily field use by people working around fuel-burning appliances and mechanical spaces. It sits on the body like a site pass, keeping the ID visible while the alarm remains close to the wearer during service, inspection and maintenance work.
- Combines a carbon monoxide alarm and ID card holder in one wearable unit.
- Helps provide personal CO awareness while working around combustion appliances.
- Audible and visual warning when CO rises above the alarm trigger point.
- Holds ID, access cards or site passes where they stay easy to see.
- Supplied with a lanyard for quick everyday use on site.
- Compact size makes it practical for HVAC/R, gas, plumbing and maintenance teams.
Where it helps
Use the KANE78 as a personal warning accessory in environments where CO may be present. It is not a replacement for proper gas testing, combustion analysis or site safety procedures, but it gives workers an extra layer of awareness while moving through the job.
- Boiler rooms, plant rooms and enclosed mechanical spaces.
- Heating, gas and combustion appliance service calls.
- Maintenance work where visible site ID and CO awareness both matter.

Where it earns its keep
For workers moving through spaces where CO risk can change quickly.
- Technicians entering plant rooms, service cupboards, roof spaces or mechanical rooms.
- Gas, HVAC/R, plumbing and maintenance work around boilers, heaters and flues.
- Contractors who need a visible ID holder and a personal CO alarm in one piece of kit.
- Teams that want a lightweight, easy-to-issue safety accessory for regular site visits.
Alarm behaviour
Respond to the alarm like a genuine CO warning.
If the unit alarms, treat the reading seriously. Stop work, follow site procedures and use appropriate gas-safety equipment to investigate the space before returning.
Important limits
Personal alarm, not a full diagnostic analyser.
- Conduct a bump check before relying on portable gas detection equipment.
- Use a suitable analyser or CO detector for formal testing, reporting and diagnosis.
- Keep the unit dry, clean and protected from heavy impact during storage and use.
