$79.99 at Amazon . If your home is set up for a hardwired smoke alarm system, the First Alert Hardwired Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector will do two jobs at once.
A Kidde plug-in carbon monoxide detector. A carbon monoxide detector or CO detector is a device that detects the presence of the carbon monoxide (CO) gas to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. In the late 1990s, Underwriters Laboratories changed the definition of a single station CO detector with a sound device to carbon monoxide (CO) alarm.
Smoke detector mounted on a ceiling. A smoke detector is a device that senses smoke, typically as an indicator of fire.Smoke detectors/alarms are usually housed in plastic enclosures, typically shaped like a disk about 125 millimetres (5 in) in diameter and 25 millimetres (1 in) thick, but shape and size vary.
Make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors on each floor of your home and in all bedrooms. Keep a fire extinguisher in your home, along with heat and smoke detectors in case of a fire.
The carbon monoxide concentration in exhaust gases is closely related, and almost proportional to the air fuel ratio in the rich regions. It is, therefore, of great value when tuning an engine. Carbon dioxide emitted is theoretically directly proportional to the fuel consumed at a given and constant air fuel ratio. Less carbon dioxide will be ...
Before the development of electronic household carbon monoxide detectors in the 1980s and 1990s, carbon monoxide presence was detected with a chemically infused paper that turned brown when exposed to the gas. Since then, many electronic technologies and devices have been developed to detect, monitor, and alert the leak of a wide array of gases.
Sensormatic Electronics Corporation was purchased by Tyco International in 2001. The acquisition was executed by a merger of Sensormatic with a subsidiary of Tyco. Sensormatic is frequently called by the name of its parent company ADT, formerly ADT/Tyco. A product from Sensormatic is the Supertag, a hard loss prevention tag. The Supertag took ...
I just discovered that my carbon monoxide detector has an "end of life" beeping mode, which sounds just the same as it's low battery warning mode. This raises the issue of disposal which is apparently subject to local code, likely a worthy topic to aid people in making the right choice on how to dispose of their "expired" detectors.
