With the first system-connected carbon monoxide (CO) detectors now reaching their end-of-life, it’s a perfect time for security dealers and installers to upgrade their subscribers to the latest CO detection technology, such as the award-winning CO1224T CO Detector with RealTest®.

However, because the footprint of the initial system-connected devices are much larger than the current crop of detectors, new detectors will not completely cover holes or wall outlines left by the old detectors. As a result, CO detector replacement may not be as simple as pulling out the old detector and wiring up a new one, especially in commercial or residential applications where the space’s aesthetic appeal is important.

To address this issue, System Sensor introduces the CO-PLATE detector replacement plate for use with the CO1224T. This new plate mounts in seconds to perfectly cover previously installed CO detector footprints for a clean, low-profile finish ideal for commercial and residential applications.

Most importantly, this new plate makes it easy for installers and customers to benefit from the CO1224T’s unique RealTest technology, which makes the CO1224T the only detector fully compliant with NFPA 720: 2009 CO testing requirements. RealTest enables installers to functionally test the CO sensing cell with a short spray of canned CO. In minutes, the installer can verify that detector is doing its job, protecting customers from deadly CO.
