Knox Safety Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Carbon Monoxide detectors are used to detect poisonous gas and provide an early warning when the gas is detected. They work by measuring the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air and sound an alarm if enough of the chemical is in the air to become a problem.

Both the Knox Safety 7000 and 7200 CO detectors are the only models that support Bilingual visual and verbal instruction when high CO levels are detected.

The three button design details the most recent CO level, carbon monoxide testing, and a silence option for low-threat alarms.

With the TRIO Warning System, a Knox Safety Carbon Monoxide Alarm can:

• Informs: Packs 20+ voice alerts when detecting low and high levels of CO or alarm statuses change. The scrolling LCD display gives detailed information on current detection levels.
• Directs: Alarms gives recommended emergency guidance with three LCD display icons:
  1. Call 911
  2. Exit Immediately
  3. Ventilate Area
• Alerts: Loud 85 decibel alerts sound to notify everyone on the same floor of CO detection.

Knox Safety's CO alarms feature a 10-year sealed battery that never needs replacing.

State requirements vary depending on the state for carbon monoxide detectors. Many states require installation for multifamily dwellings. Other states limit the installation requirement to buildings with fossil fuel-burning devices. Others require the device to be installed upon the sale or renovation of the property or unit.

In terms of regulating carbon monoxide detectors, some states use rules from state building or fire codes. Other states use the International Residential Code while others use local jurisdictions to regulate these detectors.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning is the buildup of carbon monoxide in the blood. When too much carbon monoxide gets into the air, the body begins to replace the oxygen in the red blood cells with carbon monoxide. This can lead to tissue damage, or even worse, death.

Carbon monoxide detectors should be installed on every level of your home so everyone in the home can hear the alarms. The detectors should also be outside every bedroom and sleeping area as well.

Carbon Monoxide detectors can either be placed on the wall or on the ceiling. Wall-mount alarms should install no more than a foot away from your ceiling. While ceiling-mount alarms should install at the highest height of your ceiling and 4 inches from any wall.
