Powered Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector for Battery Operation

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

This smoke and carbon monoxide detector features an 85-decibel siren that alerts you to the threat, and unique alarm sounds and indicator lights on its face distinguish a smoke warning from a carbon monoxide warning. The battery-operated design eliminates the need for an electrician during installation, and the easy-access battery compartment allows for quick battery changes. The single test/silence button enables you to silence a false alarm or test the unit's functionality.

Carbon monoxide is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America, yet many people are unaware of the danger until it's too late. Symptoms of CO poisoning can mimic the flu, making it difficult to recognize the threat initially. This is why a carbon monoxide alarm, such as the First Alert SCO5CN, is an excellent way to protect your family. It can detect the colorless, odorless, and tasteless CO that you cannot perceive with your senses.

The First Alert SCO5CN utilizes an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor, which is the most accurate technology available. The alarm also employs photoelectric smoke sensing technology, which is more environmentally friendly and reduces nuisance alarms, making it well-suited for cooking areas. Additionally, this smoke and carbon monoxide detector is capable of quickly detecting slow-smoldering fires.

The permanent sensors in the First Alert SCO5CN have a lifetime warranty, ensuring continuous monitoring of CO levels even during power outages. The test/silence button allows you 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.

Included in the package are two AA batteries, a user's manual, and the combination carbon monoxide and smoke alarm. The front cover design may vary, but the product function remains the same. This battery-operated alarm provides continuous monitoring of CO levels, ensuring your family's safety even during power failures.

First Alert has been the most trusted brand in home safety since launching the first residential smoke alarm in 1958, according to a recent brand trust survey. With the SCO5CN Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm, they continue to prioritize the protection of your loved ones.
