here<\/a>) means that if the oxygen gets too low that the unit will shut off using what’s called an ODS. (Oxygen Depletion Sensor) <\/p>\n\n\n\nIn my opinion, in an enclosed space this is an important feature. You should never rely on an O2 deprivation sensor to help you in a tough spot, but it’s one layer of protection that could save your life if all other safety precautions are missed. In an enclosed space, a lack of oxygen and too much carbon monoxide can make you sleepy and careless, which can be fatal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even with an oxygen depletion sensor, it’s important to never use a heater while you sleep in an enclosed space because your life is now resting on the proper functioning of that sensor. As I mentioned above, I’ve tested this feature, and the oxygen can get to a dangerous level even with the sensor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip Detection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
If your heater tips, it must shut off–we have an electric heater that does not shut off when tipped, so it’s not a feature that’s in every heater. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a tent you have very limited space and the entire tent is made from fabric, so it’s very important that the heating element of the heater is not close to any walls, and therefore, if it tips it has to shut off or else it could start a fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even with a properly working tip detector, it’s important to remember that the heating element is still off and you can melt or ignite your tent. It’s crucial to avoid a tip situation in the first place.
