FIRST ALERT Powered Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector, Battery Operated, 1 Pack, White

The First Alert SCO5CN Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm features advanced sensors to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide in a single device. The photoelectric sensor is designed to identify the smoke most commonly produced by smoldering fires, minimizing false alarms from cooking smoke or shower steam. Additionally, the electrochemical CO sensor is capable of detecting carbon monoxide leaks from various sources, such as faulty fuel-burning appliances, blocked chimneys, and generators operating indoors or too close to homes.

This carbon monoxide and smoke detector is battery-operated, eliminating the need for an electrician during installation. Requiring just two AA batteries and featuring an easily accessible battery compartment, the device offers a single button that allows users to silence a false alarm or test the unit's functionality.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, but many individuals may not recognize the symptoms until it is too late, as they resemble the flu. A carbon monoxide alarm is an excellent way to protect your family, as it can detect the odorless, colorless gas that you cannot see, smell, or taste.

The First Alert SCO5CN carbon monoxide and smoke alarm utilizes an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, considered the most accurate technology available. The alarm also features photoelectric smoke sensing technology, which is more environmentally friendly and reduces nuisance alarms, making it ideal for cooking areas and quickly detecting slow-smoldering fires.

The permanent sensors within the device have a lifetime lifespan. The test/silence button allows users to silence a non-threatening alarm or low battery warning, as well as test the unit's functionality. A low battery signal alerts you to replace the batteries, and an end-of-life alarm of three chirps indicates the need to replace the entire unit. Two AA batteries are included, and the device is covered by a 5-year limited warranty.

This battery-operated smoke and carbon monoxide alarm provides continuous monitoring of CO levels, even during power outages. The indicator lights on the face of the unit display the presence of smoke or carbon monoxide, while an 85-decibel siren provides a clear, loud warning upon detection.

The First Alert SCO5CN can be shipped within the United States, except for New York. First Alert has been the most trusted brand in home safety since launching the first residential smoke alarm in 1958, according to a brand trust survey conducted in February 2018.
