The BLACK+DECKER Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Replaceable Battery is a compact, easy-to-install CO alarm designed to help detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in homes, offices, rental properties, workshops and other suitable indoor spaces.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and tasteless gas that can be extremely dangerous if left undetected. This BLACK+DECKER CO alarm uses an electrochemical sensor to monitor for carbon monoxide and alert occupants with a loud audible alarm and visual LED warning when dangerous CO levels are detected.
Powered by a standard 9V replaceable battery, this alarm is simple to maintain and does not require mains wiring. The unit can be wall mounted or used free-standing, making it a practical safety solution for homes, rented accommodation, caravans, offices and properties with fuel-burning appliances.
A carbon monoxide alarm is an essential safety device for properties with fuel-burning appliances such as boilers, cookers, fires and heaters. Carbon monoxide cannot be seen, smelled or tasted, so a working CO alarm provides an important early warning if dangerous levels are detected.
This BLACK+DECKER CO alarm is suitable for use as part of a wider home safety setup and should be positioned according to the supplied instructions and current safety guidance.
The replaceable 9V battery design means the alarm can be installed quickly without mains wiring. When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the unit will provide a low battery warning so the battery can be replaced and protection maintained.
This carbon monoxide alarm should be installed, tested and maintained in line with the manufacturer’s instructions. It should not be used as a substitute for correct appliance servicing, ventilation or professional gas safety checks.
Gas appliances should be installed and serviced by a suitably qualified Gas Safe registered engineer. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the property immediately, avoid using fuel-burning appliances, ventilate the area if safe to do so and seek professional assistance.
