Honeywell XC100 Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Product Information

CO can't be seen, smelled or tasted—but it can be prevented from creeping into your home. An early warning system like a carbon monoxide detector makes it easy to detect CO before it affects anyone. If the minimalistic design of this particular model doesn’t fancy you, the 7COC is optionally available with an additional digital display. While carbon monoxide is odourless and obviously invisible, the Mercury 350.135 will not put you or your family members in danger by warning you about the harmful CO levels in no time with its loud alarm system. As soon as you start hearing your unit chirping, replace its battery with the same type. Ideally, the battery is changed every year. Battery replacement will reset your detector and make the chirping stop. On the bright side, however, once the unit is properly mounted and turned on, it will detect any abrupt spikes of CO concentration in the air and notify you about them with a loud (85 dB) alarm noise. What makes it great, though, is that once you turn the sensor on, it doesn’t need further adjustments from your end.

Electronics failure. Two or three short chirps every minute (depending on the Honeywell model) means the device isn't working properly. The 30 ppm sensitivity of the detector makes it quite reliable in terms of critical response time. As for the concentration of the gas and their respective audio cues, the appliance will go off at 50 ppm, 100 ppm, and 300 pm, with alarm response times of 60-90, 10-40, and 3 minutes respectively.

Honeywell XC100 Carbon Monoxide CO Detector

What to do with the expired carbon monoxide detector? Don't discard it along with your household garbage. Because a CO detector is electronic waste, it must be disposed of properly according to local laws and regulations. However, your unit won't stop chirping until you've resolved the issue that's causing it. Here are three ways to stop a Honeywell CO detector from chirping. Fortunately, the Kidde 7COC covers all British gas requirements for household CO detectors while not being overpriced at the same time. The device doesn’t have too many buttons, which makes it fairly user-friendly. Data from the National Vital Statistics System show that in a span of five years (2010-2015), accidental carbon monoxide poisoning had killed 2,244 people in the US. That's a yearly average of 400 deaths. The number peaks in winter when people keep their windows closed and use heating systems.

Like other similar devices, the Kidde 10SCO features a Hush button that allows you to turn off the alarm when it has gone off accidentally. This will be helpful in case you plan on installing the smoke detector in your kitchen since, more often than not, some smoke occurs if you cook on a regular basis. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a silent killer. Exposure to this dangerous gas leads to a headache and even death in as fast as 10 minutes. As much as it's life-saving, an alarm such as a Honeywell wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detector that chirps non-stop could be bothersome. Don't ignore a chirping CO detector—stop it before it's too late. Most carbon monoxide detectors come with a CO sensor as well as alarm and controlling components. While some of the models only signal users about dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, many devices can actually show you the numbers so you can see how bad the situation is. Apart from that, the memory function allows recording the data gathered from CO sensors for up to 4 weeks straight, enabling you to see how the situation changes throughout the whole month.
