Knox Safety Model 7000
The Model 7000 is a DC-powered CO alarm. This battery-operated alarm uses a sealed, tamper-resistant, lithium battery that lasts about 10 years.
The Model 7000 is typically wall mounted or found on tabletops. Model 7000s are manufactured for single and multifamily homes, restaurants, bars and universities.
Knox Safety Model 7200
While the Model 7200 is also a CO alarm, it has a couple of important differences. The Model 7200 is an AC-powered CO alarm instead of being DC-powered. The alarm also differs because it uses a sealed, tamper-resistant, lithium battery backup that lasts about 10 years.
The Model 7200 can plug into any standard wall outlet. Like the Model 7000, the Model 7200 was also manufactured for single and multifamily homes, restaurants, bars, and universities.
Features of Knox Safety’s CO Alarm
Knox Safety Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms differ from most CO alarms on the market. Three main features make them different. A TRIO warning system with LCD display, Bilingual settings, and low-level detection.
These unique features introduce a faster and more direct way of alerting you to CO levels in your home.
TRIO Warning System
The TRIO Warning System means Knox Safety Carbon Monoxide Alarms will: Alert, Inform, and Direct. A game-changing function of both 7000 Series alarms.
Alerts: Loud 85 decibel alerts to notify occupants of a CO threat.
Informs: Provides over 20 different voice alerts when detecting low and high levels of CO or for alarm statues changes. The scrolling LCD display gives detailed information on current detection levels.
Directs: Alarm gives easy-to-read instructions on how to deal with the emergency using three LCD display icons:
- Call 911
- Exit Immediately
- Ventilate Area
Intelligent LCD Display
Each alarm has three display zones to communicate notifications and alerts.
- Warning zone: This zone gives visual warnings (Danger, CO Level, Hush, Error, END)
- Message Zone: This zone displays a scrolling message with important emergency information.
- Action Zone: Easy-to-Read symbols tell you what to do during an emergency (Call 911, Exit, Replace, Ventilate).
Bilingual Instruction
Each Carbon Monoxide Alarm supports Bilingual visuals and verbal instructions when detecting higher levels of CO.
Low-Level CO Warning
The alarms also provide a low-level CO warning when CO is present. This allows you to act before the CO reaches an emergency level. The alarm also has a non-replaceable battery that has a 10-year battery life.
3-Button Function
The three-button design gives the most recent CO level, carbon monoxide testing, and a silence option for low-threat alarms.
Code Compliant Certifications
Both of the 7000 Series alarms are UL 2034, NFPA 720 and CSFM compliant. The UL 2034 is a standard for single and multiple station carbon monoxide alarms in living spaces. Alarms in this standard are meant to alert when CO levels are too high or too low.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 720 is the standard for installation of CO detection and warning equipment. The California State Fire Marshal (CSFM) is a standard stating CO alarms must be approved before being used. Both Knox models meet these standards, making them operation-ready upon purchase.
What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that is harmful to humans. Unfortunately, it kills many people since it is undetectable.
Household items including gas appliances, generators, and charcoal grills produce this gas, which can lead a carbon monoxide leak. Check your state guidelines to see if you need smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to alert you of possible carbon monoxide in your home.
What is Carbon Monoxide Poisoning?
Carbon Monoxide poisoning is when CO replaces the oxygen in your red blood cells. This can create tissue and brain damage or even death.
Common symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning include shortness of breath, chest pain, weakness, or upset stomach. Most symptoms of CO poisoning are described as “flu-like” symptoms.
If you believe you are dealing with carbon monoxide poisoning, get into the fresh air and call 911 immediately.
