First Alert Carbon Monoxide Detector

Uvod

The First Alert CO600 Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm is designed to provide reliable detection of carbon monoxide (CO) gas in your home. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly. This alarm utilizes an advanced electrochemical sensor to accurately detect CO levels.

Its simple plug-in design allows for easy installation into any standard 120-volt wall outlet. When elevated CO levels are detected, a loud 85-decibel alarm will sound to alert you to the potential danger. The unit also features a single button for testing and silencing the alarm, and an end-of-life timer to indicate when the device needs to be replaced for continued safety.

Safety Information and Recommended Placement

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a silent killer. It is crucial to install carbon monoxide alarms strategically throughout your home to ensure comprehensive protection for your family. The First Alert CO600 is designed to provide early warning of CO presence.

It is recommended to install at least one carbon monoxide alarm on every level of your home, including the basement, and in or near every sleeping area. This ensures that all occupants are alerted to dangerous CO levels, even during sleep.

If the carbon monoxide alarm sounds, immediately move to fresh air outdoors or open doors/windows to ventilate the area. Call 911 or your local emergency services from a safe location.
