Description

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in The us, yet many of us don’t know they’re suffering from CO poisoning until its too late. Since symptoms of CO poisoning are like the flu, you might not even know you’re in danger to start with. That’s why a carbon monoxide alarm is a wonderful way to offer protection to your family. It can detect the CO you’ll be able to’t see, smell or taste in the air.

The First Alert SCO5CN carbon monoxide and smoke alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology to be had. The alarm uses photoelectric smoke sensing technology which is environmentally friendlier and which reduces nuisance alarms, making it ideal for cooking areas. Additionally it is great for sensing slow smoldering fires quickly. The permanent sensors last the lifetime of the alarm. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning and lets you test the unit’s functionality. The alarm uses different 85-decibel horns and lights depending on whether it’s alerting you to smoke or carbon monoxide. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery and end-of-life alarm of three chirps alerts you to replace the unit. Two AA batteries are included. 5-year limited warranty. UL listed. Not to be had for sale in Massachusetts.–Bree Norlander
