If my carbon monoxide dectector goes off how would I know if theres really something wrong or if the batteries just need to be changed?
Answer
The detector only detects gas The battery alarm is similar to a smoke detector low battery, alarm which is an intermediate chirp, when the it detects gas it goes off very loud, and continuous.
Carbon monoxide is odorless, Humans can't smell it and if you feel head rushy or light headed very good indicator of being poisoned. If you don't get out at that sign the next is passing out after your out
in the continued presence of the gas death will follow. You just won't wake back up.
So if it goes off You immediately open doors and windows and get out call 911 and state you have a carbon monoxide leak.
If you have gas appliances the risk is a lot higher for poisoning
hope it helps

can fire alarms/carbon monoxide detectors go off by human presence?

so at least once a week in the middle of the night when i walk below this stupid fire alarm it goes off, it says testing and goes through the whole alarm spoken fire fire, then goes to the last carbon monoxide level and does its alarm.
it is sooooo weird, scares the H*** out of me every time, i replace the battery then it does it again a week later. But it only seems to do it when i walk underneith it at night, im now gong to start going in my room through my window, ps. we had the fire department come to our house at one point because of carbon monoxide and they said that it was one of the best alarms out their, it matched their detectors to decimal point. also it does have a different warning when the battery is low, it will actually tells us that the battery is low/

A couple things come to mind. A dirty detector especially if it uses and optical sensor I had one that looked clean but there was apparently a spider that made a home in it at one time and the web kept blowing into the sensor. The alarms only last about 5 years so maybe it's hitting it's senior years.
Unless you wear some kind of cologne it doesn't like I am tapped out on ideas. LOL
Depending on they type of alarm if you have to replace it keep in mind that it has to be disposed of specially as most have some amount of radioactive material in them.
