For businesses and industries that operate at high elevations, whether it’s a bar in the Austrian Alps or a brewery nestled in mountain ranges, ensuring the safety of workers and patrons through effective CO₂ monitoring is essential. But did you know that altitude can directly affect the accuracy of gas detection systems? As you climb higher, atmospheric pressure decreases, influencing how gases like CO₂ disperse and are detected. Fortunately, modern systems, such as the upgraded Analox Ax60+, are specifically designed to tackle these challenges.
Let’s explore why CO₂ detection requires special attention at high altitudes and how Analox’s innovative Ax60+ addresses these needs.
As altitude increases, the surrounding atmospheric pressure drops, making air less dense. This decrease in pressure affects gas dispersion, causing CO₂ to occupy a greater volume at the same concentration. Here’s how pressure changes with elevation:
Without altitude compensation, traditional CO₂ detectors, often calibrated at sea level, may under-report CO₂ levels in these higher-altitude environments. For industries relying on CO₂ for processes like beverage carbonation, the risk of dangerous gas exposure increases, making reliable, accurate monitoring essential.
Before advancements in altitude-compensated systems like the Ax60+, CO₂ monitoring at elevation required manual recalibration, which could be complex and time-consuming. Traditional methods included:
Manufacturer Guidelines: Companies provided adjustment tables, offering estimates for recalibration at different altitudes, though precision varied and required further calculations in areas with extreme conditions.

The Analox Ax60+ takes the complexity out of CO₂ detection at high altitudes by incorporating built-in altitude compensation. Gone are the days of manual recalibrations; the Ax60+ offers precise, reliable detection through these advanced features:
In countries like Germany and Austria, where CO₂ monitoring is mandatory in industries such as hospitality, altitude compensation isn’t just a convenience, it’s essential. High-altitude environments pose unique risks for CO₂ exposure, with symptoms ranging from dizziness and headaches to loss of consciousness or worse. Accurate, compliant monitoring systems, like the Ax60+, keep staff and customers safe.
