As a measure against COVID-19, "ventilation" to improve "poorly ventilated, enclosed spaces" is being emphasized. The CO2 monitor to be released by KING JIM this summer is a reliable product that clearly signals when it's time to ventilate, a detail easily overlooked when the air conditioning is on.

A key feature is that the device complies with the "Guidelines for the Selection of Carbon Dioxide Concentration Measuring Devices" issued by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry.

There are three models in the lineup. The "Zarage CO2 Monitor" features an extra-large LCD screen for excellent visibility, alerting you to ventilation times with light and sound. It illuminates red and beeps when ventilation is needed. In addition to CO2 concentration, the LCD displays temperature and humidity, making it useful for managing indoor environmental conditions.

The "Ventilation Prompt CO2 Monitor" signals ventilation times with light and sound. It indicates CO2 concentration with three light colors—green, orange, and red—and includes a timer function that alerts you to ventilate at regular intervals (30 or 60 minutes).

The compact and easy-to-place "Desktop CO2 Monitor" displays CO2 concentration using four levels of emoticons, allowing you to see at a glance when ventilation is needed. It can be powered by batteries, making it easy to install even without an outlet. It's a smart addition for a comfortable summer.
