We redesigned CO-Pocket to give pilots more useful information at a glance. The Radiant CO-Pocket™ is a fast, reliable carbon monoxide detector in a rechargeable, pocket-sized, self-contained unit, designed specifically for aviation. The 2027 Model replaces the original monochrome display with a color screen showing the current CO level, 90 minutes of history, and the highest reading since power-on. Radiant calibrates every unit individually for gas and temperature, and the enclosure now combines our transparent top with an extra-tough nylon bottom. The improvements go beyond the screen. A front-panel power switch simplifies operation, eight brightness levels let you adjust the display for cockpit lighting, and an optional 110 dB external alarm replaces the original internal beeper. CO-Pocket-2027 remains compact, rechargeable, and easy to move between aircraft. |
Fast visible response. After warm-up, CO-Pocket-2027 responds to CO test gas within 5 seconds. The live reading updates every second, helping you see a developing change without waiting for an alarm threshold.
A color display with more useful information. Large CO numerals, color-coded warning levels, and an on-screen level guide replace the original black-and-white presentation. Readings appear in 1 ppm increments, including single-digit values. The display also shows battery voltage, internal temperature, and sensor communication status.
90 minutes of history, plus PEAK. Each history bar preserves the highest reading from one minute, so a brief increase remains visible after the current reading falls. PEAK retains the highest reading since power-on. You do not have to catch every change as it happens.
Individually calibrated at Radiant. We establish each unit’s clean-air zero, calibrate its response with 100 ppm reference gas, and measure its temperature response in a heated chamber. The instrument automatically applies its own temperature-correction table. No user calibration is required.
Tougher construction and simpler controls. The transparent top is paired with an extra-tough nylon bottom. A front-panel slide switch provides positive on/off control, while two buttons handle brightness, screen wake, and temporary alarm silence.
Visible warnings, with optional powerful sound. The screen changes to yellow at CAUTION and red at ALERT. A flashing red light begins at 35 ppm. Add the optional 110 dB external alarm for repeating audible warnings at 50 ppm and above. A button press silences the sound temporarily without stopping the visual warnings or monitoring.
The external alarm Annunciator is sold separately; the instrument has no internal beeper.
Rechargeable, with continuous monitoring while the screen sleeps. Up to 48 hours of operation on a single charge, with automatic display sleep. Monitoring, history, and peak capture continue while the screen is dark, and a CO warning wakes the display. Recharge through USB-C using the included cable; the instrument can also operate while charging.
We check each instrument in clean air, expose it to 100 ppm reference gas, and characterize it in a temperature chamber up to 42°C. The instrument stores its individual correction data and applies them automatically during operation. This is calibration for the particular unit you receive—not simply a common adjustment applied to every sensor.
There is no pinhole adjustment or user calibration procedure. Before use, switch the instrument on in clean air and allow the full three-minute warm-up to finish.
Easily attached with velcro to an empty spot on my panel. Flashes with red LEDs if the CO level is out of range. One could not miss the flash.
Radiant CO-Pocket Carbon Monoxide Detector
CO detector placed on the instrument panel of our vintage warbird and it tracked the varying CO levels from over the 41ppm limit on takeoff (expected), to 0 during cruise. Convenient size and used Velcro for attachment. Works for us!
Radiant CO-Pocket Carbon Monoxide Detector
It works as advertised and I like the compact design. I tested it at low CO levels (while taxiing with the mixture full rich and the door open) and it closely agreed with another new device I tested (about 22). The 10 year old one showed lower values (about 11) which is what I expected and why Im replacing it. Note: This also demonstrates why you shouldnt do that -)

Screen protector fell off. Found it and taped it back on.
Only one flight so far. Have it hanging from my flight bag. The temperature and humidity track with my other instruments. Need to put it up to the cars exhaust to hear the warning sound.
Radiant CO-Pocket Carbon Monoxide Detector
I cant speak to the sensitivity of the device. I can say that the viewing angle isnt great: hard to read anything unless you are looking at it pretty much straight on.
Radiant CO-Pocket Carbon Monoxide Detector
Annoyingly turns itself on from just being mildly jostled, thus killing the charge. I do like the USB-C recharge port. I would recommend trying a different one.
