Exactly, What kind of detection this device provides ? Is it a GAS, CO, and smoke detector ?

This unit detects the presence of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide usually occurs from a gas appliance or furnace that is misfiring, is not burning correctly, or is not vented correctly. Carbon monoxide is an odorless killer.

fire always brings Carbon monoxide. So if there is fire this will always go off. Can it replace a smoke detector > no just like smoke detectors can not detect CO.

It does not continuously display the co levels, only if detected. It will display the gas level if gas is present. I am very satisfied with this plug in detector. I bought two, one for each floor.

Yes...it does. Note these are the best units I have had so far. The other very popular ones crap out within a year and give a false alarm.This is due to the manner in which the smoke particles are sensed. Photoelectric and ionized particles.Bill

Yes, but I have not field tested yet! The manual says that is does detect explosive gas! Hold on let me try! It works! With my torch! Installed rigth by my gas boiler! 224. PPL. Get its good! Install on wall 6" off ceiling

You mean CO, not CO2. No, this model does not have a CO sensor. There are other models that do, though. Call First Alert. They were extremely helpful in making sure I had the model numbers for detectors with the features needed for each location.

It is not a detector of gases. It measure pressure and pressure differentials. Hope this helps!

It is not a carbon monoxide detector, we bought it to measure the draft flow from our coal stove going into our chimney

I have electric wires already installed to make all alarms be on same circuit.(AND uses battery back up) Is there a combination smoke /CO detecting alarm made for this?

Since the detector is intended for the occupied part of the house that is heated and not subject to direct CO from car exhaust, the unit may not work as designed and that is the last thing you want.

Lol. I have wondered the same thing. It thinks it's a smoke detector or must warn the neighborhood the toast is ready.

The "Latching alarm" only comes into play if the unit is hooked up to a A/C power source. and after the unit is exposed to alarm levels of smoke or CO2, and then the levels of smoke or CO2 are lowered, there is a red light flashing until the unit is tested, this also is a means of helping to determine the area where the smoke or CO2 comes from if the whole system of detectors are connected together.

The device detect CO with right sensitivity. I find the acceptable CO density on internet. So it is not important whether it is on some list or not.

The manual states "It's eight sensors work together to understand what's happening in your home and it's photoelectric sensor detects slow, smoldering fires". Did not find any other technical information relative to your question.

They are hybrid probes, as mentioned in the description. You can use one or both to monitor the smoker chamber temp.

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

Dear, this is a signal detector. This product uses the active laser scanning and passive radio frequency sweep combination method can accurately identify eavesdropping , telephone tapping and digital eavesdropping ,tracking ,vehicle eavesdropping, etc

Mine was installed near the ceiling and it worked fine to detect CO from an old stove's pilot light that malfunctioned and turned itself off. My apartment was slowly filling with gas that I only faintly smelled when entering. I believe I had the First Alert brand, but I'm sure they all work the same.
