Overview
The SafeAir
TM
260-CO carbon monoxide (CO) detector is an accu-
rate and reliable means of alerting building occupants of potentially
dangerous levels of CO in the protected area. The internal electro-
chemical 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 inconspicu-
ously with any decor, and its smooth contoured design is compat-
ible 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 approach-
es 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.
