RKI RI-600 Indoor Stand Alone CO2 Monitor 115 VAC
Description
RKI RI-600 Indoor Stand Alone CO2 Monitor (115 VAC) is an indoor fixed monitor that detects Carbon Dioxide (CO2) in five different ranges including PPM and % volume. It has a sleek, user-friendly design and is easy to operate. The RI-600 has two preset alarms, and comes ready to operate with a simple wall mount bracket and 10-foot power cord. If a high level of CO2 is present, the user is notified by an audible alarm tone and the multicolored LCD digital display.
Applications: Brewing tanks, Filler machines, Storage tanks, Bag & box rooms, Indoor air quality, Greenhouse, Underground car park
Key Features:
- Operates with or without a controller
- Long-life IR (infrared) sensor
- Large easy-to-read digital display
- Power options: 115 VAC
- Compact wall mount design
- Tri-color visual alarm display: Green = Normal, Yellow = Alarm 1, Red = Alarm 2
- 115 VAC power option comes with a simple wall-mount bracket and 10-foot power cord
Note: The RI-600’s standard configuration is with the sensor installed in the main unit. The sensor integrated type does not include the remote sensor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What CO2 concentration ranges does the RI-600 monitor cover?
The RI-600 is offered in three range configurations: 0–5,000 ppm (73-1206-05K) for occupied-space indoor air quality monitoring, 0–10,000 ppm (73-1206-10K) for industrial areas and greenhouses, and 0–5.00% volume (73-1206-50K) for high-concentration storage or process environments such as brewery CO2 rooms and confined carbonation areas. Select the range that matches your facility’s expected maximum CO2 concentration.
How does the infrared sensor in the RI-600 detect carbon dioxide?
The RI-600 uses a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) sensor, which measures the absorption of infrared light at the characteristic wavelength of CO2. Unlike electrochemical sensors, IR sensors do not consume a reagent, giving the RI-600 a long, stable sensor life with minimal drift over time. NDIR sensing is inherently selective for CO2, reducing cross-sensitivity to other common gases.
What are the health and safety effects of elevated CO2 in enclosed spaces?
At concentrations above approximately 1,000 ppm, CO2 can impair cognitive function. At 5,000 ppm — the OSHA PEL per 29 CFR 1910.1000 as an 8-hour TWA — drowsiness and headache are common. Concentrations above 40,000 ppm (4%) are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH). The RI-600 provides continuous monitoring to alert personnel before CO2 reaches harmful levels in occupied or potentially occupied spaces. These thresholds represent compliance benchmarks; employer evaluation of actual risk is required.
Does PK Safety service and calibrate the RKI RI-600 CO2 monitor?
PK Safety services RKI instruments in-house with factory-trained technicians, including fixed-point CO2 monitors like the RI-600. We provide NIST-traceable CO2 calibration, sensor evaluation, and repair services. Call our gas detection team at 800.829.9580 to schedule calibration or to order CO2 calibration gas for the RI-600.
What applications call for CO2 monitoring with the RI-600?
The RI-600 is commonly installed in beverage carbonation rooms and CO2 storage areas (breweries, bottling plants), commercial and industrial greenhouses that use CO2 enrichment for plant growth, underground parking garages, and food packaging rooms using CO2 modified atmosphere packaging. Indoor air quality managers in schools and offices also use CO2 monitoring to manage HVAC ventilation efficiency. See PK Safety’s fixed gas detectors collection for related products.
Can the RI-600 operate independently without a gas detection controller?
Yes — the RI-600 is designed to operate as a fully standalone monitor. It manages its own two-level alarm logic, activates an audible alarm, and changes the tri-color display (green, yellow, red) without any external controller. For facilities that want to integrate the RI-600 into a centralized monitoring system, call PK Safety at 800.829.9580 to discuss controller options from the RKI fixed-system product line.
