This system has Gray Box with a 30 minute timer....so for 3 minutes each 1/2
hr the fans runs for 3 minutes and then if the CO goes above the set point
on the detectors the fans come and run until the detector gets below the
safe range. Fans ON....intakes also OPEN
One detector senses the north end of the garage and the other the south end

Daytona...

Looks like the unit needs 24 Vac or dc but will switch 5A on a dry
relay. More than enough for a contactor.

Use one of those "piggyback" 120 x 24 v transformers that'll mount to a
4x4 and you're good to go....

I'd talk them into using the alarm contacts too.
