FireAngel FA6813 Portable Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm, 10 Year CO Alarm
The FireAngel FA6813 Portable Carbon Monoxide Detector/Alarm is available on Amazon for £13.98. This device is designed for home use, featuring an advanced electrochemical sensor that detects potentially hazardous levels of carbon monoxide. Upon detection, it emits four loud chirps at 85 dB(A) from a distance of 3 metres, accompanied by a flashing red CO LED light, ensuring that the alarm is hard to miss.
To ensure the device is functioning correctly, users can press the large test button. This action will trigger a loud, high-pitched sound and cause the red LED to flash four times, confirming the alarms operational status. The FireAngel FA6813 comes equipped with two replaceable AA batteries. When the batteries require replacement, a flashing amber and an audible chirp will serve as a reminder. Regular testing of the alarm is advised to maintain its effectiveness.
An additional feature is the Sleep Easy function, which allows users to silence the low battery alert temporarily. By pressing the test button, the low battery chirp is muted for eight hours, while the amber light continues to flash, providing a temporary reprieve during nighttime hours. However, it is crucial to replace the batteries as soon as possible.
This portable carbon monoxide detector includes an integrated mounting bracket and screws, facilitating easy wall installation. With dimensions of 120 x 73 x 35.5 mm, it is compact enough to be taken on travels, offering protection during holidays. The device is particularly suitable for use in caravans, campervans, and cars.
