Safety that protects lives: CO₂ monitoring at the highest level
The Kundo xT CO₂ Control is a reliable gas warning system that detects dangerous CO₂ concentrations in rooms that are not naturally ventilated and issues an early warning. With optoelectronic sensor technology and modular expandability, it offers tailor-made safety for restaurants, cold rooms and industrial applications.

HIGHLIGHTS
Modular, precise and easy to maintain
The system combines a sensor unit with a warning unit and can be expanded with additional sensors or signaling devices if required. The optoelectronic infrared measurement technology ensures high long-term stability and minimizes false alarms. Thanks to automatic self-monitoring and simple installation, the system is particularly easy to maintain.
Why Kundo xt?
Recognize the difference. Experience the advantage.
Time-saving maintenance: the entire sensor unit is replaced every 4 years, eliminating the need for time-consuming testing and installation work.
Maximum operational reliability thanks to automatic self-monitoring: the system checks its functionality every 3 minutes and reports faults immediately.
The system can easily be extended to another room or a second access door.
WHY IS A CO₂ GAS WARNING SYSTEM SO IMPORTANT?
FAQ - DISPENSING GASES
CO₂ is treacherous: it is colorless and odorless and can accumulate unnoticed in enclosed spaces – especially in areas with CO₂ bottles, dispensing systems or dry ice. CO₂ can affect health from a concentration of 0.5% by volume, and from 5% by volume it becomes acutely life-threatening. A professional gas warning system detects this danger at an early stage and provides a reliable warning – before it becomes critical.
WHEN IS A GAS WARNING SYSTEM MANDATORY?
A CO₂ gas warning system is always required if a risk from CO₂ cannot be ruled out – this applies in particular to rooms without a constant, natural air supply in which CO₂ is used, e.g. beverage storage rooms, technical rooms and almost every walk-in cold store or cold room.
HOW CAN YOU ASSESS A POTENTIAL HAZARD?
By calculating the maximum room concentration. The room volume is calculated for this purpose. The content of a 10 kg CO₂ bottle corresponds to 5m³ of gas. If an entire bottle flows out in a cold room measuring approx. 4 x 3.5 x 2.4 m, then a lethal concentration of over 10% by volume is given. Info: 3 % by volume already leads to dizziness and malaise.
TIP - RISK ASSESSMENT
We are happy to help! Our employees are expert, TÜV-certified dispensing system technicians and are therefore authorized to carry out a risk assessment in order to provide our customers with the best possible advice.
As a member of the association, we are also in close contact with administrative authorities and labor inspectorates.
WHY IS THE DANGER SO GREAT?
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) – also known colloquially as carbonic acid in this context – is heavier than air, which is why it displaces the air we breathe, especially in enclosed spaces such as cold rooms. As the gas is odorless and tasteless, it is not perceived and at a higher concentration, the air in the lungs quickly disappears, leading to unconsciousness and death a few minutes later.
HOW OFTEN DOES MAINTENANCE HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT?
An annual functional check by a qualified person and a sensor replacement every 4 years are required by law. The sensor is then overhauled by the manufacturer.
Our expert staff also carry out follow-up training for the competent person and document the maintenance in the dispensing log.
WHAT TO DO IF AN ALARM OCCURS?
It is important that you do not enter the room during the pre-alarm or main alarm.
A warning sign is displayed on the outdoor unit with the contact details of the competent person, who must be informed immediately and the instructions specified in the event of an alarm must be carried out.
