They meet building codes where AC/DC carbon monoxide alarms are required either separately or in combination. The alarms are interconnectable up to 18 devices, of which 12 can be smoke alarms.
Most Accurate Carbon Monoxide Sensor*
Advanced electrochemical CO sensor technology.
Intelligent Sensing Technology is designed to help reduce unwanted or nuisance alarms.
Two Silence Features. Temporarily silence low battery chirp for up to eight hours before replacing low battery or silence an unwanted alarm for several minutes.
Two Latching Features. Alarm Latch: Easily identifies initiating alarm even after alarm condition has subsided. Low Battery Latch: Identifies which unit is in low battery condition.
Smart Interconnect interconnects with most First Alert® and BRK branded smoke, CO and heat alarms. When interconnected with alarming smoke alarms, unit will sound smoke horn pattern.
Dust Cover is included to keep the alarm clean during construction.
Easy Installation/Maintenance features include a large opening in the mounting bracket for easy access to wiring. A battery pull tab keeps the battery fresh until the home is occupied. A Side Load Battery Drawer allows for easy 9v battery replacement without removing the alarm from the ceiling or wall.
Note:
1) This unit does not work without power. If the AC power fails, the battery back-up will power the alarm for at least 7 days provide the 9V battery is fresh and correctly installed.
2) The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
3) This CO Alarm should receive continuous 120VAC, 60 Hz, pure sine wave electrical power. (The battery is meant for emergency backup only). Do not use in an extension cord or outlet controlled by a dimmer or switch.
4) NEVER ignore any alarm. See “If Your CO Alarm Sounds” for more information on how to respond to an alarm. Failure to respond can result in injury or death.
5) Test this Carbon Monoxide Alarm once a week. If it ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.
