First Alert CO400 battery-operated carbon-monoxide alarm

First Alert · CO400

A battery-operated alarm keeps CO warning independent of the power station.

Primary compromise: Placement, testing, and end-of-life replacement still follow the alarm manual.

A substitute must:

  • Use a listed CO alarm that operates during a utility outage.
