New Kidde 260-CO Carbon Monoxide Detector, Alarm & Trouble Relays, 12/24 VDC

Description

The 260-CO carbon monoxide (CO) detector is an accurate and reliable means of alerting building occupants of potentially dangerous levels of CO in the protected area. The internal electrochemical sensor communicates with a sophisticated on-board microprocessor that accurately tracks CO levels over time. This commercial-grade detection technology results in quick response, reliable sensing, fast reset time, and superior false alarm immunity. Its small size allows the 260-CO to blend inconspicuously with any décor, and its smooth contoured design is compatible with both residential and commercial environments. Unaffected by normal indoor temperature variations, the 260-CO automatically adjusts for environmental changes and operates reliably under a wide variety of conditions. It also monitors its own performance and compensates for sensitivity drift throughout the course of its service life. The 260-CO features the SafeTest™ functional test feature, which facilitates testing with real CO gas. SafeTest meets the functional test requirement in NFPA 720, 2009/2012 editions. Like all CO detectors, the 260-CO has a limited service life. But unlike most, which last only six years, the 260-CO’s advanced sensor features a service life rated at 10 years. When it approaches this point, the 260-CO’s end-of-life timer automatically triggers a warning that indicates the device must be serviced. This warning annunciates at the detector, as well as at the control panel, and optionally at a remote monitoring station. An integrated temporal-4 sounder provides local signaling capability for the 260-CO, and it easily interfaces with any intrusion or fire alarm system by means of its output relay. Its low current draw results in little additional demand on the system power supply.
