Carbon monoxide detectors?




Ash1227


My carbon monoxide detector chirps once every min or so, the light will flash red once in awhile which means battery power is getting to it. Will it still detect carbon monoxide until my husband gets home tonight to replace the pack that goes in it, or should i be concerned?
I know there isn't a carbon monoxide leak because this has been doing it for a week when I turn it on. The instructions say it is a normal noise for when the battery is dieing, I want to know if it will still work while it is cherping.



Answer
Mine continues to operate while it is chirping to tell you that the battery is low. It is when it stops chirping that the unit will not and cannot detect carbon monoxide. At least that is what the instruction manual that came with mine says.

Fire Alarm/ Carbon Monoxide detector goes off almost everyday at the same time need some advice.....?

I have two Universal Security Instruments 9 Volt Battery Operated Smoke & Carbon Monoxide Alarms and everyday at the same time they go off. They'll go off a few times and then stop. Does anyone know how to reset them and keep them off? I had talked to someone about this before and he just told me to keep on resetting them but I have kids that take naps and these things just blare, again it is everyday at the exact same time and I have no owners manual to go with them because they were here when I moved in.

This is the link to the exact model
I changed the batteries but I was told they were just for backup. I always check to see if something is burning, but my smoke detector doesn't go off, it is the carbon monoxide detector and once I reset it, it stays off (well after the 3rd or 4th reset) and it stays off until the exact same time the next day.



Answer
I had a Carbon Monoxide detector that did that. Not regularly though. The last straw was one summer, no furnace on, the windows wide open, no vehicles idling near the house. I disconnected it. In your case I suggest you buy new ones, including the smoke alarm. You don't know what kind of treatment they got before you moved in.
