Carbon Monoxide Detectors Need to be Replaced,
Find Out Why in New Paper from System Sensor

St. Charles, Ill. (November 28, 2007) – System Sensor has just released a new white paper that explains when and why system-connected carbon monoxide (CO) detectors need to be replaced.  A complimentary copy of the document, Eliminating Confusion: The Limited Life of Carbon Monoxide Detectors, can be downloaded from www.systemsensor.com. 

A supervised CO detector offers constant monitoring of CO, an odorless, tasteless, invisible, and deadly gas.  Since the CO gas sensor within the detector has a finite life span, the entire CO detector must be replaced when the sensor reaches its end of life (EOL) in compliance with UL regulations.

UL requires every system-connected CO detector to indicate the CO gas sensor’s EOL using an integral trouble relay that sends the EOL signal to the control panel. All system-connected CO detectors have a limited-life gas sensor. However, not all of them have the capability to send the gas sensor’s EOL signal to the control panel.

“We wrote this paper because we wanted to emphasize the difference between system-connected CO detectors and system-connected smoke detectors,” said Richard Roberts, senior product manager for the System Sensor Security Business Unit. “We wanted to get the word out so that expired CO detectors get replaced. When it comes to carbon monoxide, we want to make sure people have a true sense of security and know that these products are functioning the way they should be.”

This publication reminds security dealers, installers, distributors, and authorities having jurisdiction that CO system notification appliance circuits will be more reliable when they adhere to UL’s life-safety supervision requirements of CO sensors.
