Carbon Monoxide Detector – Protection Against the Silent Killer

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly when inhaled. Produced by faulty boilers, heaters, gas appliances, or blocked chimneys, it is often called the “silent killer” because it is impossible to detect without a proper alarm.

The Carbon Monoxide Detector continuously monitors the air in your home and provides an instant warning when dangerous levels of CO are detected. When linked to your telecare system, alerts can be sent to caregivers or monitoring staff, ensuring immediate emergency response.

Key Features

• High-Sensitivity Sensor – Detects dangerous levels of CO gas quickly.

• Loud Audible Alarm – Alerts occupants immediately to evacuate.

• 24/7 Monitoring – Integrated with telecare systems for remote alerts.

• Digital Display (in some models) – Shows real-time CO levels.

• Low-Battery Indicator – Ensures continuous protection.

• Compact, Discreet Design – Easy to install and unobtrusive in the home.

Why It’s Essential

CO poisoning can cause headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, or even death if not detected in time. Vulnerable individuals such as elderly people, children, or those with chronic illnesses are at greater risk. This detector ensures you’re never left unprotected against this hidden danger.

How to Use the Carbon Monoxide Detector

1. Installation – Mount the detector at head height on a wall, ideally near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances (boilers, fireplaces, gas stoves).

2. Connection – Link it with your telecare monitoring system for remote alerts.

3. Testing – Press the test button monthly to confirm it’s working properly.

4. Battery Care – Replace batteries when the low-battery signal is heard or indicated.

5. Maintenance – Keep vents free of dust and replace the detector every 7–10 years (depending on the model).

Ideal For:

• Homes with gas, wood, or coal appliances.

• Elderly or vulnerable individuals living alone.

• Families wanting complete safety from hidden risks.

• Care homes and supported living facilities.

The Carbon Monoxide Detector gives you peace of mind, ensuring that invisible, odorless gas doesn’t go unnoticed and that help can be summoned immediately if danger arises.
