FIRST ALERT SCO7CN Battery Operated Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector for Home

The First Alert PC900V Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm offers unparalleled protection with a sleek and compact design that merges style with safety. Measuring less than one inch thick, which is half the size of a typical smoke alarm, the PC900V maintains effective safeguarding for your home and loved ones.

A standout feature of the PC900V is its dual alarm system that autonomously detects both smoke and carbon monoxide (CO). Utilizing an electrochemical sensor for detecting CO alongside an innovative smoke entry system, this alarm ensures accurate detection of both fast-flaming and slow-burning smoldering fires. By integrating First Alert’s Nuisance Free Technology, false alarms triggered by cooking or steam from showers are significantly minimized.

This alarm is equipped with essential indicators, including a power LED, an alarm indicator, an end-of-life signal, and a single test/silence button, allowing you to frequently test its functionality. Research indicates that children are more responsive to verbal warnings compared to traditional beeps, which is why the PC900V features voice alerts that specify the danger's nature and origin, thus helping you devise an effective escape plan.

Installation is straightforward due to the adaptable mounting options for both walls and ceilings, bolstered by an easy-to-use slide-in bracket. Powered by two included 'AA' batteries, this alarm boasts a modern white finish, representing First Alert’s commitment to blending the latest technology with safety solutions in the fire safety arena. Additionally, the PC900V is backed by a 10-year limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship, ensuring peace of mind.

Another stellar offering from First Alert is the SC07CN Combination Talking Smoke Alarm and Carbon Monoxide Detector, which safeguards against the twin threats of fire and CO. This battery-operated device includes a voice alarm that alerts users to the location of smoke or CO hazards within the home.

The SC07CN utilizes dual detection systems to independently identify both smoke and hazardous CO levels. It features an electrochemical sensor, recognized for its superior accuracy, along with photoelectric sensing technology that mitigates false alarms caused by cooking or steam. A programmed voice alert effectively communicates danger, stating, "Warning: evacuate. Carbon monoxide in kitchen. Evacuate," alongside an 85-decibel alarm and a flashing red LED to highlight the threat's location. This combination of auditory and visual alerts is beyond what standard alarms can offer, equipping you with critical information for a safe escape.

Each SC07CN unit uses two 'AA' batteries (included), stores previous CO readings, and verbally communicates the highest detected level of CO, offering insights into potential appliance leaks. Compatibility with common household remote controls enables convenient testing or silencing of the alarm, while a mute button and low-battery warnings enhance user-friendliness. Moreover, an end-of-life alert notifies you when it’s time for a replacement, and a side-access drawer allows for effortless battery changes.

Recognizing the importance of both smoke and CO alarms is vital, as carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, is a leading cause of accidental poisonous deaths in the U.S. The Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends installing carbon monoxide alarms within close proximity to sleeping areas. With alarming statistics revealing nearly 381,000 home fires in 2005 alone, equipping your home with effective smoke alarms like the SC07CN is essential for ensuring the safety of your family.

Each unit includes the alarm itself, two 'AA' batteries, and a user manual, offering a robust solution to dual household dangers.
