Monitored Alarms With Carbon Monoxide Detection
The National Safety Council reports that 300 people die every year and thousands are hospitalized as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon Monoxide in the home is a concern if you have natural gas sources or an attached garage. Protecting your family from this odorless, colorless gas is a very simple task when you add a Carbon Monoxide Monitor to your home security system such as the monitor available as an add-on to ADT home security systems.
The symptoms of Carbon monoxide poisoning are often confused with the flu or food poisoning. Victims will show signs of fatigue, nausea, dizziness, disorientation, headaches, or even weakness. Adding a monitor to your home security system can alert you to carbon monoxide in the home before you realize there is a leak.
If you suspect Carbon Monoxide poisoning in your home get any family members experiencing symptoms out of the home immediately. If you are unable to get them out use your security system's one-touch Medical button to call for emergency assistance. Open all windows and doors to let fresh air in your home and turn off all possible sources of carbon monoxide such as appliances or vehicles.
There are some things that you can do to prevent CO poisoning in your home. Make sure that appliances are working according to their manufacturers' instructions and building codes. Getting an annual inspection of your chimney, flues, and heating system can be a preventive measure. Do not allow a vehicle in your garage to run for more than a few minutes to prevent carbon monoxide from leaking into your home.
If you do not have a home security system with carbon monoxide monitoring consider purchasing one. This is the best defense against this invisible intruder. You may want to consider looking for additional monitoring services to protect your family such as fire monitoring that can notify the home security monitoring center to call the fire department. ADT Monitored Home Security can be upgraded to include critical monitoring of carbon monoxide, fire, low-temperature monitoring and flood detection.
When selecting a home security system with critical monitoring services here are a few important things to look for:
o What critical monitoring service(s) does the home security service offer?
o Does the home security monitoring service provide cellular monitoring in case of a telephone line outage, such as ADT SafeWatch Cellguard?
o How many monitoring centers does the service have to watch over your home? The more monitoring centers the better. This will protect your home when a center suffers from a power outage. Another center can immediately take over the monitoring of your home and family. ADT 24 Hour Monitoring is the most Customer Monitoring Centers of all home security monitoring providers.
o Does the security system have one touch buttons for Medical, Fire and Police in the event of an emergency?
o Consider a wireless home security system which has a less invasive installation.
o Look for a home security system that has voice communication directly to the monitoring center via the installed equipment. This will allow you to communication with dispatchers even when you cannot get to the phone if the monitoring center is alerted to a problem in your home.
Our families are precious as are our homes. It only takes a few minutes to lose a loved one to carbon monoxide poisoning and to contact a home security consultant to learn about how to monitor carbon monoxide in your home.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors, Devices That Save Lives
A carbon monoxide detector can be one of the best do-it-yourself home security investments you'll ever make. Plain and simple, carbon monoxide detectors save lives.
They do not detect smoke like a smoke alarm or heat like a heat detector unless they're designed to perform this double function.
(In which case it is clearly indicated on the box they come in).
They detect the presence of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) gas at high levels in a home environment and sound an alarm to inform the occupants of the lethal danger.
Without a detector, carbon monoxide gas is practically untraceable.
It's odorless, tasteless, and invisible.
How CO is produced:
Carbon monoxide is a gas that is produced whenever fuel is burned improperly. It can be produced by:
Oil and gas furnaces.
Gas powered hot water heaters
Gas ovens and ranges.
Wood-burning fireplaces.
Charcoal BBQ grills.
Running car engines.
It's a result of incomplete combustion. If a fuel-burning device is malfunctioning and located in a closed or poorly ventilated area, CO can build and reach deadly levels.
Install a carbon monoxide detector to be notified of dangerous CO levels the moment they occur.
Types of detectors:
There are three basic types of carbon monoxide detectors available on the market today.
Electrochemical
Semiconductor
Biomimetic
1. Electrochemical CO detectors confirm the presence of carbon monoxide gas in the air by detecting the slight changes that the gas causes to a unit's internal electrical current.
Electrical current changes are measured and monitored by internal sensor electrodes that are immersed in a chemical solution. Any changes in the current will sound the alarm.
Electrochemical CO detectors are highly recommended.
They are classified as being the best type of CO detector you can buy. They have a reputation of instantly detecting dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
These units are battery operated have a life span of 5 years or more.
2. Semiconductor CO detectors were the first CO detectors to be invented. They also confirm the presence of carbon monoxide gas by detecting slight changes in electric current.
Instead of a chemical solution however, the units use an internal heated semiconductor - usually tin dioxide. When carbon monoxide comes into contact with the tin dioxide, it creates a change in the electrical current by lowering the resistance across the semiconductor.
This increase in current triggers the alarm.
This type of carbon monoxide detector is a good choice because it requires practically no maintenance.
3. Biomimetic CO detectors use a gel pack filled with synthetic hemoglobin to confirm the presence of carbon monoxide gas in the air.
CO gas is absorbed into the gel pack causing the hemoglobin to change color. Sensors detect the color change and notify the unit's processor to sound the alarm.
Biomimetic detectors are known to trigger false alarms due to the contaminants that accumulate in the gel pack over time.
The gel pack should be changed once every 2 to 3 years.These units can last up to 10 years and operate on battery power.
Where to install CO detectors:
As a general rule, a minimum of one carbon monoxide detector should be installed on every floor of your home including the basement.
Detectors should be located close to each bedroom or sleeping area. Usually within 10ft. As an addition safety measure, CO detectors can also be placed close to any fuel burning devices such as furnaces or water heaters.
Before installing your CO detector, contact your municipality. Inquire about the local by-laws covering CO detectors in your area. When installing the unit, follow the manufacturer's instructions.
(The above instructions can be applied to smoke alarms and heat detectors as well).
If you live in the US, you can find your state statutes concerning CO detectors by clicking here.
Choosing the right power source:
Carbon monoxide detectors are powered in one of three ways. They can work with a ...
Battery Power Source
120v Power Source
12v/24v Power Source
1. Battery Power Source CO detectors run on batteries. When the batteries run low, the units chirp annoyingly to inform the homeowner.
These types of CO detectors may not be the best choice because they require a commitment of maintenance. The batteries need to be changed once a year.
Studies show that most people don't bother changing the batteries yearly. They remove the batteries altogether to eliminate that annoying chirping sound. Without a power source, the detector cannot sense carbon monoxide gas.
2. 120v Power Source CO detectors plug directly into the wall socket.
These types of carbon monoxide detectors are a better choice.
However, in the event of a power outage they offer no monitoring capabilities. Without electrical power, the unit is dead.
Yes, some units do come with a battery backup in case of power failures.
The question is, will you think to check your CO detector during a power failure? Will the battery backup work?
3. 12v/24v Power Source CO detectors can be connected directly to your system's security panel. These types of detectors are clearly the best choice.
Once they are part of your security system, the central station that monitors your alarm system daily can monitor them as well.
Some security systems dial out as opposed to being centrally monitored. Depending on the setup, the security system may be configured to directly dial out and contact local authorities when the carbon monoxide detector senses high levels of gas.
