Honda Power Equipment is equipping its EU1000i and EU3000iS Super Quiet Series, the Economy Series EG4000, and the EB10000 Industrial Series of portable generators with CO-MINDER, a carbon monoxide (CO) detection system designed to help protect users from injury or death from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. The system continuously measures carbon monoxide levels via a fast-acting sensor in the air near the generator and automatically shuts down the unit before detected CO reaches a dangerous level. A safety light on the main panel notifies the user that a buildup of carbon monoxide caused the generator to shut down. According to the company, the product is not intended to be overridden or tampered with, and the sensors are both moisture- and dust-resistant.
