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.
