carbon monoxide alarm 4 beeps image
Julie
I know it's not because of carbon monoxide in the house because on the back, it says it beeps 5 times every 4 seconds. I know its not because of battery because it says if u need battery, one beep every 30seconds. But my alarm is making one really long beep that won't stop. its been beeping for about an hour now and I need to sleep..
its one long beep that won't stop, not several beeps in a given amount of seconds
How do I fix this?
Answer
take out the battery and get a new one it's a malfuntion.

carbon monoxide detector keeps beeping?
KillingMot
I have two carbon monoxide detector. My upstair carbon monoxide detector keeps beeping every 2-4 minutes. It also has a number saying 52. The carbon monoxide downstair appears to be fine, althrough it doesnt have that displaying number thing. I tried switching the carbon monoxide with each other, and now neither beeps anymore. But one of the carbon monoxide detetor(the one from upstair then switch to downstair) still says 52. Should i be concern?
Answer
Although all home detectors use an audible alarm signal as the primary indicator, some versions also offer a digital readout of the CO concentration, in parts per million. Typically, they can display both the current reading and a peak reading from memory of the highest level measured over a period of time. These advanced models cost somewhat more but are otherwise similar to the basic models.
The digital models offer the advantage of being able to observe levels that are below the alarm threshold, learn about levels that may have occurred during an absence, and assess the degree of hazard if the alarm sounds. They may also aid emergency responders in evaluating the level of past or ongoing exposure or danger.
The alarm points on carbon monoxide detectors are not a simple alarm level as in smoke detectors but are a concentration-time function. At lower concentrations (eg 100 parts per million) the detector will not sound an alarm for many tens of minutes. At 400 parts per million (PPM), the alarm will sound within a few minutes. This concentration-time function is intended to mimic the uptake of carbon monoxide in the body while also preventing false alarms due to relatively common sources of carbon monoxide such as cigarette smoke.
CONCLUSION: YOU ARE SAFE AT 52.
