Hello,
I have a STCO 002N model carbon monoxide detector. It’s beeping about every 30 seconds. I tried to locate a backup battery but couldn’t find anything. I pressed the reset button and it’s still beeping.
Please advise me as to how to resolve.

To resolve the beeping issue with the S-Tech STCO 002N carbon monoxide detector:
1. Press the TEST/RESET button to silence the alarm and reset the detector. 2. Check for actual gas presence. If natural (methane) gas levels remain high for over 5 minutes, the alarm will continue until the gas clears. 3. Inspect power supply. Ensure the fuse or circuit breaker supplying power to the detector is functioning. 4. Test the detector monthly by holding the TEST/RESET button; if the red LED and buzzer do not activate, the unit may be defective. 5. Listen for unusual sounds. An erratic or low sound may indicate a fault, requiring the unit to be returned for service.
If these steps do not resolve the beeping, the detector may be faulty and should be serviced.
