When connected via Smart Interconnect and a CO is alerted will only KN-COSM-ib give a vocal gas warning &amp; the other smoke only units say nothing?

If installed correctly, when one unit is activated then all units will alarm. The value of this is that you will be fully warned when a distant hazard is detected. I'm sure that you'd want to know (while sleeping in the master bedroom), that there's a problem brewing in a bedroom on the far end of your home. For this may be the bedroom of your sleeping child. When I installed my new smoke/CO units one-at-a-time, I tested after each install. When I pressed the center test button, my new and old (smoke only) detectors all fired.

I unplugged mine and threw it away because it gave many false alarms. The unit, and others like it according to comments on the Internet, are too sensitive. Hair spray, perfume, etc. may set off the alarm. Many pressurized cans use propane as the propellant, so it's not actually a true false alarm because propane is in the air but all that beeping was too much to deal with.

I just wanted to add - I use mine in a 24 x 24 shop without any ventilation. I use a carbon monoxide detector on the wall, and it has never registered a reading, even after running this unit for four or five hours. By way of comparison, if I start up my wife's van in the same garage, the same carbon monoxide will register a reading in about thirty seconds and the alarm will go off in a matter of a couple minutes.

I utilize these smoke detectors with my Vivint system (all 2GIG equipment including control panel) which is monitored by Vivint. At least on our system, if the smoke detectors sense smoke, then yes it will trigger an alarm and it is transmitted to the Vivint monitoring system and they will call the fire department. This just happened to us two days ago while cooking some overheated stir-fry. Fire department showed up 5 minutes later.

Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house. Mine has never detected has but it has a test button and the alarm is audible throughout my entire house (1700 sq ft.). There is a constant green light on and dashes across the screen indicating it is on. The unit comes with an instruction booklet that explains the display and what to do if the device goes off. We have a gas furnace and it's peace of mind to have this. I live in Oklahoma and just recently a house exploded from a gas leak. This would undoubtedly warn me if levels rose that high so that myself and proper authorities could take action. Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house.

Go here for the specifications and you will see the answer is no: http://www.kidde.com/home-safety/en/us/products/fire-safety/co-alarms/kn-coeg-3/

Not sure if i understand the question, but when the two pieces of the sensor on this unit are separated it sends a wireless signal to a base unit causing it to sent out an audio alert. It has other optional items that work with the same base unit but independently of a traditional alarm system.

Firex units have a self test mode within them to ensure the CO function is working properly. If it fails the tests you will get a warning signal. So no matter if it is 5 or 10 or 15 years it will let you know if it thinks it is not working properly.

Not that I know. I purchased because of the available voice options. The ony way we were able to get the voice to stop was to open windows, and eventually fix the source of co emission.

Two alarms in one - detects carbon monoxide and explosive gas Three convenient mounting options - direct-plug, 6-foot power cord, and table top Digital display shows the level of carbon monoxide the unit is sensing so the unit updates this reading every 15-seconds Peak level button displays the peak CO level recorded by the alarm since it was last reset or unplugged 9-Volt battery backup provides continuous protection, even during power outages 7-year end of life warning alerts user to replace CO alarm after 7-years of operation (40-percent longer than other CO alarms) UL Listed.....

No, unless there is CO2 or natural gas detected, the screen on the device reads "---."

We have it in our MBR hooked into our natural gas connection that feeds our fireplace. It's been connected for one year with no issues other than the initial burn-off smell that only lasts a day or two.I highly recommend that you have your gas company hook it up. Ours did and they only charged us about $150 for the install of the unit and the hookup and parts. Better Safe than Sorry.

Yes, I've paired my ZCOMBO smoke/CO detector. It only sends events (Test, Smoke, CO); you can't trigger the siren remotely.

Yes. My "smoke only" detectors are connected to my "smoke + carbon monoxide" detectors.

No, its not a carbon monoxide tester too. It senses by using photoelectric and ionization to alert for smoke

The pamphlet inside the package recommends putting the detector in certain areas of the house that may become susceptible early-on such as stairs, near kitchen, etc. The height on wall is not specified. I have mine plugged in close to the floor. I am assuming it is calibrated to pickup on low CO levels before it becomes dangerous. You might have to call in and talk to their customer service people about the specifics.

They are hard-wired to start beeping at you after 10 years, which I think is a requirement for CO detectors (used to be 7). I see no reason to replace them sooner than that.
