Provides protection from fire and carbon monoxide in one unit with Photoelectric sensor. Fire warning - The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning message “Fire Fire” The alarm will repeat pattern until unit is reset or smoke is eliminated. Carbon monoxide warning - Four short alarm beeps followed by a verbal warning “Warning, Carbon monoxide” This continues until the unit is reset or the CO is eliminated. Low battery warning - One chirp followed by warning “low battery”. The red LED light will flash. This pattern will continue every minute for the first hour. After the first hour the red LED light will flash once every minute accompanied by the chirp sound. The “low battery” warning will only sound once every fifteen minutes. Voice Hush Indication: “Hush activated” and “Hush cancelled” voice announcement. Alarm memory - The green LED will blink once every 16 seconds to alert a user when the unit has alarmed for smoke or has detected a concentration of CO. If the alarm has detected a CO level of 100ppm or greater, when the test/reset button is pressed the unit will announce “CO previously detected”. If the alarm has detected abnormal levels of smoke since its last test, it will produce three rapid beeps.

One of them malfunctioned during a power outage.

I bought these detectors because the detectors in my house were over 10 years old. These detectors were fairly easy to install as the electrical connection was the same as the previous ones. Until the recent power outage at home I thought they were fine. After a power outage in my house, an alarm system started warning and proclaiming "THE CARBON GUARANTEE” over and over. This caused one of the other alarms to do the same. The constant alarm sound plus this voice prompt was very annoying. I…

Pros
  • Fire Warning - The red LED will flash and be accompanied by three long beeps followed by a verbal warning of "Fire Fire".
Cons
  • Protection

Best Price Photovoltaic/Carbon Monoxide Combo

Easy assembly. Good price. I was deciding between this and First Alert's combined photoelectric/CO detector (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UQW8OS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER), but the price is about $10 cheaper. for Kidde. I installed two of these in my father-in-law's apartment. Installation was easy. It used to have a 15 year old Firex (FADC #5000) in it, but rewiring is easy. I didn't pay $4.50 for the adapter to avoid having to rewire it since it's so…

what's not to like? so I bought 6 in Feb 2014

Useless junk. I'm rarely asked to write a review on the many things I buy on Amazon, but this one "deserves" it. Trust the 1 star reviews and don't make my mistake. I was thinking of a photoelectric combo carbon monoxide/smoke/fire alarm, what's not to like? So I bought 6 in February 2014. Mid November a false alarm 3 nights in a row (and one day but of course 3 nights from 2am to 4am). nothing like desperate attempts to silence the system and having no idea how to do it because it's not stuck…

Pros
  • AC cord with battery fuse, 9V battery included protects against momentary blackouts
Cons
  • Everything is fine
