Sensor system reacts to CO most like the
human body. Effectively simulates the gradual
poisoning (accumulation) and detoxification of
COHb in the blood stream.

to test the unit and operate features like Quick
Quiet ™ , Smart Quiet
LED. It automatically activates the proper
response to the alarm condition at the time
you press it.

battery power only in a cost-effective way.
