GE 250-CO Carbon Monoxide Detector + Adapter for GE240COE Replacement

Product By GE

Lowest Price : $77.99

Product Description

 

The GE SafeAirTM 250-CO carbon monoxide (CO) detector is an means of alerting building occupants of potentially dangerous levels of CO in the protected area. The internal electro-chemical sensor communicates with a sophisticated on-board microprocessor that accurately tracks CO levels over time.


This commercial-grade detection technology results in quick response, reliable sensing, fast reset time, and superior false alarm immunity. Its small size allows the 250-CO to blend inconspicuously with any decor, and its smooth contoured design is compatible with both residential and commercial environments.


Unaffected by normal indoor temperature variations, the GE 250-CO actually self-adjusts for environmental changes and operates reliably under a wide variety of conditions. It also monitors its own performance and automatically compensates for sensitivity drift throughout the course of its service life.


Like all CO detectors, the 250-CO has a limited service life. When it reaches this point, the 250-COs six-year end-of-life timer automatically triggers a warning, locally, at the control panel, and optionally, at a central monitoring station, indicating that the device should be serviced.


An integrated temporal four-horn provides local signaling capability for the 250-CO, and it easily interfaces with any Listed intrusion or fire alarm system by means of its 150mA output relay, which may be connected to the auxiliary input on the control panel. Its low current draw results in little additional demand on the system power supply.


The 250-CO fully complies with the latest UL 2075 requirements which allows for installation in a wide range of residential and commercial settings.


The GE Security Adapter Plate is used when replacing the GE/ESL 240-COe with the 250-CO SafeAir Carbon Monoxide Detector (included).

Technical Details

• This is the factory suggested replacement for discontinued GE240COE
• Includes one adaptor for use when replacing the GE 240COE
• Accurate, reliable, quick response
• Uses commercial-grade detection technology
• Accurately tracks CO levels over time

"MTI LP Gas Detector" 2010-02-11
By Jabart7 (Boulder,CO)
I ordered this LP Detector to replace my original LP detector in my RV.The original was a flush mount CCI Controls PreTell 22 Model # 7770.2. NOTE: There is a large number of CCI LP detectors failing after 4 or 5 years and the company is out of business now. The MTI LP detector mounts just fine in the hole left by the CCI detector. The MTI is slightly shorter then the CCI LP detector but I was able to mount the MTI in the same space with only a slight gap at one end, not really noticeable as my detector is mounted close to the floor.


The MTI detector seems to work just as designed. As a side note, most of the new RV's seem to be using the MTI LP detector.

"No likey" 2010-03-30
By J miller (Minnesota)
I bought 2 of these and 1 of them is a menace, always going off in the middle of the night and we can't shut it off. So, we keep it outside in the garage but it still goes off sometimes. The other one is not going off for no reason, but if it gets bumped out of the outlet- the shrill is relentless and it is not easy to reset. The directions are on the back of this thing, but you have to sit through the shrilling beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppp while you read the instructions. It's enough to drive a person CRAZY. Babies are screaming, pets are running. It's unnecessarily loud.

"Works fine" 2010-03-29
By Clint Westwood (Hollywood Florida)
Got this CO as a gift and it works fine.

Read the other reviews about it being loud so I check it and the sound level is just fine for me and the family.

No problems.

  
"Good alarm no problem" 2010-02-27
By Carolita Jean Rivera (Seattle Washington)
We bought this alarm during the holidays. Works good no problems. I would buy it again. You should buy one or two.

"Very Loud which is GOOD not bad" 2010-02-18
By Nichol Wind
After reading the Amazon reviews about this unit being loud I went to the Kidde website to get more information. Here are a few of the highlights:

-Tamper Resist Feature - Unit goes into constant alarm mode if it has been unplugged or has come loose from the outlet.

-Low Battery Hush® - Silences low battery chirp warning for up to twelve hours in order to maintain protection without having to replace the battery at an inconvenient time.

-Loud 85dB - Alerts you of deadly CO gas.


Amazon tells you the same thing. THIS THING IS LOUD. So if you want a CO Alarm that is quiet do not buy this one. It is also made Tamper Resistant for places, like a hotel, where you do not want the unit ripped off. So if you are going to move your CO Alarm around do not buy this one.


I wanted a LOUD CO Alarm that is going to get me out of the house and tell me IF someone or something messed with it. So I bought this one.

  
"Great Product may have saved my life" 2010-02-17
By Big Kat (Daytona Beach, Florida)
After getting this product we installed it close to the garage. Installation is very easy, just install battery and plug in.....


After a few months the alarm woke us from a sound sleep in the middle of the night. Good thing the alarm is very loud because my wife and I sleep very hard and the bedroom is a distance away from the alarm.


We thought the alarm was defective but asked our fire fighter neighbor to check our home with his "high end" CO level detector.


Turns out our hot water heater was leaking CO.


I also found out the Kidde CO Alarms are UL list and other brands are not. Google "UL listing" if you are too young to know about UL product testing.

Where does carbon monoxide come from?

Carbon Monoxide: The Leading Cause of Accidental Deaths in the U.S.
Carbon monoxide, an invisible, odorless gas, is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are suffering from CO poisoning until it's too late. Because you can't see, taste, or smell it, CO can kill you before you even know it's there. Likewise, exposure to low levels over time can make you ill.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that every home have at least one carbon monoxide alarm with an audible warning signal--like the CO605--installed near sleeping areas. An alarm like the CO605 can detect the CO you can't see, smell, or taste before it causes any physical harm to you or your family.
Electrochemical Technology for Accuracy and Longer Life
The CO605 uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor--the most accurate CO sensor available. In comparison to more commonly available technologies, electrochemical technology is highly accurate, requires a lower amount of power, and boasts a longer life. If the CO605's sensor detects a high concentration of CO, the unit will sound a clear, loud, 85-decibel alarm, giving you a chance to either ventilate the area or safely evacuate.
A/C Power with Battery Backup and User-Friendly Design
This unit runs on A/C power, but in case of an electrical outage, it will switch to battery operation. This gives you peace of mind during storms--when you're more likely to use generators that could potentially give off dangerous levels of CO.
For added convenience, installation is a snap. Simply plug the CO605 into any wall outlet--with no additional mounting--and it's ready to go. The unit features two 'AA' batteries to provide backup power to the monitor in the case of power disruption or outage.
Operation is equally trouble free. One button clearly labeled "Test/Silence" lets you test the unit to see if it's running properly or silence it during a false alarm.
Continually Monitors Both CO Levels and Battery Power
To give you real peace of mind, the CO605 continually monitors CO and re-alarms if dangerous levels persist. At the same time, a low-battery signal let's you know when it's time to replace the backup batteries (included); a low-battery mute quiets the signal for up to eight hours. An easy, front-open compartment allows for easy battery changes without dismounting the alarm, and an end-of-life chirp lets you know when it's time to replace the unit.
The CO605 comes with two 'AA' batteries and a five-year limited warranty. It also comes complete with an "Alarm Action" chart that instructs you on what to do if the alarm sounds.
What's in the Box
Carbon monoxide alarm, two 'AA' batteries, and user's manual complete with "Alarm Action" chart.

"Not sure if this is working???" 2010-02-24
By D. Wilson (Zionsville, IN USA)
Recently, I had a flood in my basement and ran a propane heater for hours on end. Common sense would tell you that a huge quantity of combustion byproducts would be released. My new alarm just sat there happy as a clam. I am suspicious that it is not functioning properly.

  
"Great detector" 2007-12-22
By Tab Man (California Desert)
I really like this CO Detector. Don't confuse this with a model that only works on battery power or A/C power. This one runs on A/C power until your power goes out and then runs on battery power. This is necessary. Say your power goes out and someone stupidly turns on a gas heater in your house. The detector will go off when the CO level rises. If your detector only runs on A/C power, you'd be toast. For your sake and your kids sake, by a CO detector that runs on both A/C and battery power. I've had this for a year with no problems.

  
"Needs replacement in 7 months." 2007-09-12
By Julie (Northern IL)
Bought this alarm in spring 2007. Manufacture date printed on back says 2007 Feb 07. Have had two sets of batteries in it in the time we owned it and recently it started beeping three "chirps" per minute. Checked the back and that means replace alarm... already?


Plugs into the wall, yet will not work without the batteries. Overall pretty disappointed. Previously used a NightHawk carbon monoxide detector. Nearly the same price and nice digital readout. Works off outlet. Unfortunately can't find that quality and price now that CO detectors are required by local code.

First Alert CO410 Battery Powered Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Digital Display

Product By First Alert(7 customers reviews)

Lowest Price : $18.66

Product Description

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people don't know they are 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 at first. That's why a carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the CO you can't see, smell or taste in the air.
The First Alert CO410 carbon monoxide alarm uses an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor-the most accurate technology available. This alarm is perfect for bedrooms, hallways, and basements. Its easy-to-read backlit digital LED display gives you a clear read-out of current CO concentrations in parts per million. It is powered by two AA replaceable batteries giving you peace of mind during power outages. The test/silence button both silences a non-threatening alarm and low battery warning and allows you to test the unit's functionality. The alarm performs its own internal test as well. The unit monitors and re-alarms if carbon monoxide levels persist sounding a loud 85-decibel horn. No installation is required and the attractive design allows the unit to be placed anywhere you need it. It includes an optional wall mount--no outlet required. An audible and visual low battery signal alerts you to replace the battery. UL listed. --Bree Norlander

"Don't wake the dead!" 2010-02-15
By S. Opperthauser (Michigan)
As hard as I tried to find the "sensitivity levels" of this unit, no where in the product info or even the packaging does it indicate at what levels the alarm sounds. The only place I could find any info on that at all was on the back of the actual unit in small letters. This alarm will sound within 15 minutes of a 400ppm reading... this is actually well above lethal levels of CO! A good detector should sound at readings of about 70ppm, even better at 30ppm. Levels of 90ppm+ can render someone unconcious, so at levels of 400ppm you wouldn't even be able to hear the alarm as you will likely already be unconscious if not dead!


Invest a little more and get a lot better unit.

"Broken Battery Door & Did Not Work Properly" 2008-11-06
By K. Powers (Staffordsville, KY United States)
As happened to some of the other reviewers, the battery door on this detector broke the first time I opened it. I decided to give it a chance anyway and installed the batteries. The next day it randomly "alerted" me to high Carbon Monoxide levels. I silenced the alarm and then pushed the button to find out the "Peak Level" so that I would know why the alarm went off. It stayed at 0. Needless to say, I returned this. I ended up buying a Kidde brand detector (which I decided on after much research).

"Failed out of the box. Not a trustworthy brand." 2008-10-19
By Matthew Miller (Boston, MA USA)
I bought this along with the cheaper First Alert CO400 model to replace two Kidde-brand models which had died within two years of purchase. I figured a different brand had to be better, right?


No.
I put in fresh batteries, and its fancy LCD panel displayed random meaningless lines rather than letters or numbers (similar to the way the Kidde models had failed, in fact), and refused to be reset to a sane state no matter what I did (and I tried everything).


The other cheaper model was no better -- it one started making a squealing noise, somewhere between a proper alarm and a sick baby. Something was clearly not right, and again no amount of pushing buttons or changing batteries would help.


I don't know about you, but that's all the chances I'm willing to give First Alert. If the two I got were so broken out of the box, how can I possibly trust any replacement?


So I don't know what I'm going to get, but it won't be from either First Alert or Kidde.

"Not compliant with any current UL safety standard" 2010-03-03
By a reader (california)
I was disappointed to find that this U.S. manufacturer is actually

selling gas alarms that don't address current safety standards.


Specifically, I found that the product manual does not say it is


UL-listed for any relevant Underwriters Laboratories standards, and

when I checked the UL product database I could not find listings for

this product for either explosive gas (UL 1484) or carbon monoxide (UL


2034).


In the case of explosive gas (UL 1484), this product is not UL-listed


though it appears to be compliant in the loose sense that it alarms at


the standard set point of 25% LEL. While other products in this


product line are UL-listed, this one is not, suggesting that the


manufacturer simply doesn't care enough to pay for the appropriate


testing/listing for all of their products.


In the case of carbon monoxide (UL 2034), this product is not

UL-listed and indeed has definitely NOT been compliant with UL

standards for over a decade. The original standard (UL 2034-1992)


specified CO alarm set points at 100ppm(90min), 200ppm(35min), and


400ppm(15min) and these are indeed the alarm points listed in the


product manual (which is dated 1996). In 1998, UL updated the CO


alarm set points to 70ppm(240min), 150ppm(50min), and 400ppm(15min).


But the manual says quite clearly: "This detector has not been


investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 100ppm."


Given the note about calibration that is also contained in the product

manual ("CO sensor calibrated at 200ppm CO specific to avoid false


alarms") one gets the sense that this is a product for people who care


about buying products that won't wake them up with false alarms as


opposed to people who care about safety standards of the current


century. The similar Kidde and First Alert products are UL-listed and


people complain about more false alarms. You pays your money and you


takes your choice.

  
"Very fast" 2009-11-24
By massageya? (way up north)
After my wife bumped a burner knob on our gas range and fell asleep while the house filled with gas, I ordered this alarm overnight. I have it plugged in near the stove. It alarms in seconds if a burner is on but not lit and has never given a false alarm.

  
"Fantastic!" 2009-10-08
By Alan
This unit beats doing a paper test and then forgetting to do it. You just glance at it whenever and it tells you what level you're at. We did a disposable test before we bought our home and it was about 12ppm. I needed to do a long term test so I got the electronic test. Works great! We have 13ppm in the middle of summer with windows open in our basement. We are getting mitigation put in later this month. Then I can watch it and see if it is working.

  
"Useful but False Alarms" 2009-07-04
By Robert Salita (CHI PAR PHX SYD PDX CLD NKC)
After 10 months of use, the Safety Siren sounded an alarm at 10PM. My renter called the HVAC guy and demanded immediate service on the apparent gas leak. After hours of careful inspection, no leaks found. What was found though was a continuously running sump pump that likely would soon fail. One can speculate that there was a connection between the sump pump problem and the alarm sounding. A new detector and sump pump were installed.

  
"Performs well- no false alarms...." 2009-06-21
By Sebring (Boston, MA)
I had the "other brand"- it gave false alarms. I purchased this Safety Siren unit and have had no false alarms ever for the months that I've owned it. I can't attest to its performance when there are elevated gas levels and I hope I don't need to find out. I recommend this model Safety Siren.

First Alert CO615B Carbon Monoxide Detector (with Battery Backup Digital Display)

Product By First Alert

Product Description

 You can't see or smell it, but carbon monoxide gas is poisonous.

Your kitchen, garage, basement or fireplace area are likely locations where the gas can build to dangerous levels. That's why the Consumer Product Safety Commission advises that every home have a detector mounted near bedrooms and utility areas. Our Detector plugs into any standard 120 volt wall outlet and continuously monitors for carbon monoxide. It sounds a warning if low levels of carbon monoxide are present, and triggers a loud 85 decibel alarm at hazardous levels. Includes self-test feature, test reset button and 5-year comprehensive warranty. UL approved. This deluxe model features a battery backup to provide continuous protection even during power outages and backlit digital display that illuminates carbon monoxide levels and battery life.

The detector easily fits to a wall outlet and can be moved to a new location if there is suspected trouble.it's quiet and no trouble yet.


"Very good product" 2010-02-28
By Mark Bernadiner (Pearland, Texas USA)
I selected this detector among numerous productes on the market only because it is designed to detect just one source of truble, natural gas. This single-source detection principle helps me know what should I do, if the detector alarms. Delivery was very fast. Detector works well, as I checked it on my gas fireplace. I have a peace of mined now.

  
"Works Great!" 2009-06-18
By Brigham (Oakley, UT United States)
I have a propane furnace. I have read many reviews about this Gas Detector and was a little skeptical about buying it. I bought it about 6 months ago and have loved it. It has never had a problem. I did spray the house once using Lysol and the alarm went off. Good to see that it works on a variety of different gases. Would recommend to anyone! I give the alarm a full 5 stars.

  
"second detector." 2008-10-23
By HDS (Wheelersburg, OH)
This is our second combustible gas detector. We added this one when we installed a second gas-log fireplace in the new room. These units work well, especially for propane which can collect along the floors and low places in the home. Most outlets are placed perfectly for detecting it. No wiring, no installation. Just plug it in and it starts working.


The instructions are very good and easy to read and follow.


I tested the unit by using an extension cord and placing it in the firebox while I pushed in on the pilot light valve. The unit triggered right away so it takes very little gas to set it off. The unit also has a test button so you don't have to do this. (I just wanted to see if propane would really set it off. Not that I don't trust test buttons, but real gas is better than a test button in my mind.) Most LP vendors will test your detectors for free with a spray can of propane. (This is the way we had the first detector tested.)


The alarm on this unit is a little louder than on our older one but still not as loud as I would like. We can hear it from anywhere in the house so it will work. In any case, I believe it is loud enough to wake me up if I was sleeping. Still, I wouldn't mind a louder alarm.


There is a blinking indicator light so you can tell the unit is working.

Neither unit has triggered falsely. And we have had no leaks but I feel safer with the detectors.


For the price I don't think you can find a better unit, and certainly not find one easier to install.

"CO2 alarm" 2010-03-29
By Martin Rush
CO2 detector works satisfactory except that it does not interconnect with the BRK smoke detectors I purchased a year ago.

  
"All Defective" 2009-04-24
By Ken22
I moved into a new house that had been built about a year before. For the past 17 months I have been changing batteries very often in my three CO detectors. I finally started putting dates on the batteries and found that they only last 2 months (1 month in a cold basement). I'm guessing I spent about $70 in batteries. The batteries are only there to kick in when the AC power fails, which it rarely does and never for very long. However, my tests indicate that the batteries are being drained while the AC power is properly working.


I contacted the company for warranty replacements and was told I would have to pay $20 for shipping & HANDLING to get my "FREE" warranty replacements. I made a big stink and got them to send them at their expense. Only time will tell if the replacements work. Till then I can work on the problem of random beeps from my BRK smoke detectors.

"CO Alarm" 2009-04-13
By D. Rusinko
It seems to be a very well-made product. I'm assuming it would work well. It was a little hard to fit on it's bracket because the insulation overlapped the grooves.

  
"BRK Carbon Monoxide Hard Wired Monitor" 2009-01-06

"It replaced on of my old smoke detectors" 2008-09-14
By J. SPIEGEL (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I recently read that 10 years is about the life of a smoke detector. I just passed my tenth anniversary in my home that I remodeled. So time for a redo of all my hard Wired detectors. They were by BRK so it was easy to get these and replace them. I replaced the old yellowing base mounts so now they're all white and clean. I changed out one smoke detector with this CO detector as it was 6 feet from another smoke detector. Plug 'n Play. It was an easy switch out and they all worked well. The old ones worked great for ten years. I hope they never really have to do their job, but I feel like they will just fine. I test them periodically.

"Bought this for the Digital Display" 2010-02-18
By Big Kat (Daytona Beach, Florida)
We bought this CO Alarm after we had a CO incident. Our neighbor is a fire fighter and recommended a unit with a digital display.This unit was out of the box and in use in about 5 minutes.All Kidde CO Alarms are UL Listed and other brands are not. Google "UL Listing" to find out more about this established testing lab. Some states mandate consumers have UL Listed smoke and CO Alarms. Retailers can sell non-UL Listed products so watch your state codes or you may be liable.

Bought 3 of these and they are all working as they should. Time will tell how long they last.

"Best Alarm with a few problems, but with a responsive company" 2010-03-28
By Mrs. Allen (Atlanta)
We bought this alarm about one and a half years ago. For a while we had no problems at all. It even detected a leak when the line that supplied the gas to our stove cracked. Then we started getting false GAS alarms in the early morning hours. They would happen about 3-4 times a week. After a thorough inspection, we felt certain that these alarms were indeed false. I called KIDDE after reading this suggestion from other reviews. The customer service rep, Kathryn, was very helpful, professional and concerned. She sent us a replacement within 10 days, and we mailed the defective unit back to her for inspection.


Almost all products can have defects, but very few companies actually respond in a professional, quick manner. There is no better alarm out there, and Kidde has proven to be a responsible company.

"Constant False Alarms" 2010-03-25
By Mark Twain (Pittsburgh)
It's garbage. I have two of these and they randomly give false alarms. They're absolutely false alarms since I keep them close (since they're useless anyway) and only one will go off (usually in the middle of the night). I'd heard Nighthawk was the best. This unit is a joke. Buy anything else or simply flush $60 down the toilet for the same result.

  
"Many false alarms" 2010-03-17
By K. Rande (Chicago, USA)
I've had the same problem with this Kiddie combination CO/explosive gas detector mentioned by other reviewers: sporadic false alarms for explosive gas. I'm tossing this piece of junk and buying a CO-only detector.

"Many False Alarms" 2010-03-11
By J. Osborn (Illinois)
This device has given many false alarms. When calling technical support they replaced the broken one. The replacement lasted about 6 months before it started giving false alarms.

  
"False alarms all the time" 2010-02-09
By Tank (Austin TX)
... cannot use hair spray, spray cleaner near this. I rarely use hairspray, but on those occasions I do, I either have to go down to the garage (3 flights) or close the door of the bedroom that is on the same level as the alarm and spray my hair at the window. Normally I could live with this, but my dog is sometimes alone and this thing really freaks her out when we ARE home with her and the thing goes off.

"Kidde CO Detector" 2010-03-15
By S. Dyczkiewycz
Amazon offers a great price and fast shipping on the Kidde CO dectectors. They are easy to install and come with Duracell batteries!

"Convenient and Very Practical" 2009-10-21
By Nuknuk (Springfield, VA United States)
I own this detector for 1 1/2 years before I have to replace batteries. You don't realize how convenient it is to have the battery compartment at the front until you start replacing batteries of the existing smoke and carbon mono detectors in your house. Most of those installed in our house needs 9 volts rectangular batteries which are not easy to find and expensive. This needs 3 regular size "AA" batteries. We also have high ceilings, so I have to use higher stools or ladder to replace them. The battery access is at the back so I need to remove the unit from the ceiling first. It is easy to remove them with a single twist, but once you replace the battery, re-installing them is a nightmare. This unit saves you a lot of frustration and heartaches because you don't have to remove it at all and all you need to do is flip the front battery cover and you are done.Instruction is attached to the back, so you don't have to worry about losing them. 4 quick beeps signal an alarm condition. Single beep every 30 seconds indicate low battery.Simple design. Looks good.

  
"KN-COB-B is crap" 2009-03-18
By Joseph N. Scudder
We have had three of these units for less than six months. We also have two other CO units that are AC only that we have had for a few years.Just about every week one of these three units beeps very loudly for three or four beeps and then quits. This is very annoying when you are sleeping. It does not continue like it is a real alarm. They are not the soft chirps indicating low batteries. I have replaced all the batteries with new quality batteries instead of the cheap ones that come with the unit. Our regular, more expensive, CO units have never gone off at the same time as these cheap units. Buy the more expensive units.We do not think these are unsafe, just annoying.

"Better Safe Than Sorry" 2008-09-17
By Michael Kerner (Brooklyn, New York U.S.A.)
I've used several carbon monoxide alarms from First Alert for the past couple of years. Sadly, I was very dissapointed with the fact that they've shorted out after only a few months. For Kidde, they've made high quality carbon monoxide alarms, but also a very convient prices. The Kidde KN-COBB Basic Carbin Monoxide Alarm is a very simple and easy to setup alarm. This alrm is very affordable, and you can easily hang it up, without any problems. It is also easy to install the batteries, unlike those that require a 9 Volt batteries. Here, all it takes is a trio of AA batteries, and it works better, even during a power outage. Kidde does show it, and I really suggest you have one for your everyday houselhold.

Universal Security Instruments CD-9590 3-LED Plug-in Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup/Drawer

Product By Universal Security Instruments

Lowest Price : $23.12

Product Description

Protect yourself and your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning with the Universal Model CD-9590 Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This plug-in alarm with battery backup provides a clear audible and visual warning when dangerous levels of carbon monoxide are detected, so you'll have plenty of time to escape harm's way.

CD-9590 Carbon Monoxide Alarm At a Glance: CO detector provides a clear auditory and visual alarm Plugs directly into any standard electrical outlet 3 LEDs indicate alarm status Installs quickly without wires Battery backup ensures continuous operation

Included 9V battery provides continual protection even during a power outage. View larger.

3 LEDs make it easy to identify alarm condition.

Reliable Protection Against CO Poisoning
The leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in North America is carbon monoxide (CO), an odorless, colorless, and toxic gas. Because it is impossible to see, taste, or smell, CO can kill you before you are aware it is in your home. That's why CO detectors like the CD-9590 are vital to your family's safety.
Easy to install without wiring, the 120-volt AC-powered CD-9590 plugs directly into any standard (unswitched) electrical outlet. CO alarms should be placed on every level of your home and outside bedrooms, but be sure they are not in areas where they can be accidentally disconnected or unplugged by children. For your safety, check that alarms can be heard in all sleeping areas and install them a minimum of five feet away from any fuel-burning appliance.
Battery Backup for Continuous Operation
Thanks to a secure nine-volt, super heavy-duty backup battery (included), the CD-9590 works continuously, even in the event of a power outage. A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operating conditions. And changing the battery could not be easier: simply pull out the front-load battery drawer--the drawer will not close until a nine-volt battery is installed. Once your battery is ready, press the test/reset button to ensure that the alarm is operating properly and then test the alarm weekly thereafter.
No Costly Sensor Replacement
Three LEDs located right on the front of the alarm make it easy to identify the alarm condition, saving you the cost of replacing expensive sensor equipment. A flashing bright red signal, which is accompanied by an audible alarm, indicates a dangerous level of CO. The green LED indicates AC power is present, and the yellow LED indicates that it's time for the alarm to be replaced. In addition, this alarm features a low-battery warning signal which will sound for at least seven days.
What's more, two self-adhesive labels are provided with this alarm. They contain instructions indicating what to do if the alarm sounds. Add phone numbers for emergency responders and a qualified technician to each label, then place one label near the CO alarm and the other in the "fresh-air" location you will use as a gathering place if the alarm sounds.
The CD-9590 is backed by a five-year limited warranty. This alarm is UL listed to standard 2034 and meets product specification guidelines for jurisdictions requiring CO alarms.
