Kidde 5CO Battery Powered Carbon Monoxide Alarm 10 Year Life

Product Information

The Kidde 5CO battery operated carbon monoxide alarms are easy to install units that provide reliable protection against the dangers of carbon monoxide. A study of more than 27,000 properties by the Liverpool John Moores University, supported by the Merseyside and West Midlands Fire Services, found that less than 10% of homes have a single carbon monoxide alarm to protect occupants from this deadly gas.

Test/Reset Button - Tests CO alarm circuit operation and allows you to immediately silence the alarm.You are responsible for ensuring the access for our lorry is clear with no overhanging trees or cables. Obviously I hope never to hear it going off for real but if checked regularly should keep the family safe. This will give you the necessary time to check for damage and raise a claim before your project starts and will avoid any damages holding up work.

It is also worth noting that while one detector is better than no detectors at all, larger homes may require several detectors to cover the property fully.

We usually deliver on working days, excluding bank and public holidays, usually between 8 am to 6 pm. Be sure to be warned in case of danger, thanks to its audible alarm of 85 dB, which will wake you even in the middle of the night ! The new, simpler A-G energy rating scale is stricter and designed so that very few products are initially expected to achieve the top “A” rating.

I have had no incident of smoke or CO gas so I can't comment on how effective a response this device has give.The Kidde 5CO carbon monoxide alarm features a 10 year sensor life and is supplied with 2 x Duracell AA alkaline batteries to power the unit. 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. According to statistics released by the Office for National Statistics, throughout England and Wales, there are an average of over 60 deaths every year due to accidental exposure to carbon monoxide - up to 45% of which occur in the home.

PLEASE NOTE: As stated in the Product Manual, when the test button is pressed both the green LED and amber fault LED will come on. Most legislation advises at least one carbon monoxide alarm is fitted near new or replacement fuel-burning appliances that are fixed installations, though rented properties (both social and private sector) often require CO alarms be provided by landlords even if no appliances are being installed or replaced. Because of this, Safelincs strongly recommends the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in every home, and also at head-height in bedrooms to protect occupants while sleeping. The only reason I have given 4**** is because I can not test that it is working correctly unless there was a Carbon monoxide build up!Alternatively, please contact our helpline (or use our online chat facility) for further information.
