Kidde 5DCO 10 Year Life Digital Display Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Product Information

There are many different types of CO alarms including smart versions which can send alerts to a smartphone.

According to respected CO alarm manufacturer Kidde, “a carbon monoxide detector is a time-weighted alarm that measures the buildup of carbon monoxide in a house. Its sensor is set to sound the alarm after 60-90 minutes of exposure to at 50ppm, at which point you can expect a rude awakening from its 85dB siren.

Compact and lightweight battery-powered digital CO alarm provides essential protection against the dangers of deadly carbon monoxide and provides continuous monitoring of CO levels. com/image/upload/w_350,q_auto,f_auto/v1549711680/kidde/products/carbon-monoxide-alarms/kidde-carbon-monoxide-alarm-plugin-battery-backup-KN-COP-DP-B. But if CO levels become dangerously high, the centre lamp glows red and a very loud, high-pitched beep is emitted along with a spoken warning letting you know which room is affected. All of these concentrations are bad enough when you’re awake and realise that something isn’t quite right – especially if others are feeling a similar effect – but if you’re asleep, you may wake up with a severe headache and nausea and be incapable of even crawling for fresh air.

Safety Features

There are many special features that can help protect you and your home, or make your safety products easier to maintain and operate. If your property has an attached garage with a connecting door through to the house, it is recommended to fit a CO alarm inside the house leading from that doorway.

CO detectors should be installed near potential sources of carbon monoxide, essentially any fuel-burning appliances such as boilers, cookers and ovens, fireplaces (both open and enclosed burners), and portable generators. But there’s another gas that is possibly even more deadly because you can’t see it, smell it or taste it. Many of these features are not well known by their name, so to learn more about specific features of a model, select it and view its detail page.
