Protect yourself and your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning with the Atwood Digital Carbon Monoxide Alarm. The technology used by the Atwood CO alarm ensures that the readings are more accurate, as it is less sensitive to false gases. The digital display is updated every 15 seconds with the current CO levels in the area. If CO is detected, the alarm will sound, making sure that you and your family are made aware of possible danger. It can be permanently mounted, or made portable with the use of its picture stand. As an additional feature, the Peak Level button shows you the highest concentration of gas that it detects.
The real threat of carbon monoxide comes from the fact that it is odorless and invisible. It can come from a number of sources, most commonly from furnaces or other heaters, generators, or dryers that are not functioning properly. Common symptoms of CO exposure include headaches, drowsiness and nausea, and is fatal in high amounts. It is important to remember to test CO alarms to make sure they are properly functioning. It is also a good idea to place them near sleeping areas in the case of an emergency during the night. Keep in mind that a CO detector does not take the place of a smoke / fire alarm.
