Pros & Cons
- ✚Built-in lithium battery with 10-year service life
- ✚CO value easily readable on display
- ✚Alerts even at low concentrations of carbon monoxide (20 ppm)
- ✚Sensor lasts at least 10 years
- –Not linkable with other carbon monoxide detectors
The Alecto COA4010 carbon monoxide alarm warns you immediately in case of carbon monoxide (CO) detection. The alarm has a lifespan of up to 10 years. This CO alarm is equipped with a display for you see any notifications easily and clearly. The powerful built-in Lithium battery ensures you are assured of an optimally working alarm for 10 years, which is great as this is usually not the case with a carbon monoxide alarm with display.
Key features
- Quick and clear view of displayed notifications.
- The carbon monoxide alarm goes off if the carbon monoxide concentration is too high (>50 ppm), and it warns you of low concentrations (<20 ppm).
- The ten-year sensor ensures that you are assured of a safe alarm for a long time.
- The powerful Lithium battery lasts for 10 years, so you won’t have to worry about replacing the batteries.
- It comes with a ten-year warranty.
- The carbon monoxide alarm clearly indicates what is going on using the display, sound and lights.
- Supplied complete with bottom plate, screws and plugs for easy and quick assembly.
Ten-year warranty
The high-quality sensor and strong Lithium battery last for 10 years. Stop worrying if the alarm still works. This also means 10 years of no beeps caused by an empty battery or a sensor that’s no longer good. With their experience and expertise, Alecto guarantees that the battery and sensor will continue to function for 10 years and therefore offers a ten-year warranty.
Place it, or hang it up
This carbon monoxide alarm does not necessarily have to be mounted on the wall, as you can also place the Alecto COA4010 somewhere. With its compact size (40 x ø 110 mm / 1.5 x 4 inches), you can also take the alarm on holiday with you.
You’d often place a CO alarm in rooms with a combustion source (which is a possible source for CO formation). You could consider the following sources in your home:
- heaters such as central heating boilers, fireplaces and (pellet) stoves;
- hot water appliances such as geysers, gas and combi boilers;
- cooking appliances such as gas stoves, gas or wood ovens.
In other rooms (without a combustion source) you should place the carbon monoxide alarm at breathing height, depending on the activities that are common in the room. This can be at sitting or walking height in a living room, or at sleeping height in a bedroom. All instructions for the best placement are found in the manual, in a clear and comprehensible way, supplemented with clear illustrations.
It also warns you of any low carbon monoxide concentrations
Carbon monoxide alarms display the carbon monoxide concentrations in ppm. Ppm stands for parts per million, or number of parts per 1 million particles. It’s required by law that CO alarms go off at a detected concentration of carbon monoxide of 50 ppm or more for 60 minutes. Even when you sleep, an alarm of >85dB will not go unnoticed.
However, a long-term presence of a low CO concentration is also harmful to your health. The Alecto COA4010 carbon monoxide alarm will warn you if a concentration of 20 ppm or less is detected for 60 minutes.
Additional insight on the display
The COA4010’s display offers additional insight. As soon as any carbon monoxide is detected, the concentration is shown on the display. The usual value is 000 ppm, which the display won’t indicate. Furthermore, the display provides insight into the battery status and shows notifications when the concentration of CO is too high, whether it’s in test mode or has any error messages.
The highest quality
Like all Alecto carbon monoxide alarms, they are of the highest quality and comply with the European Standard (EN50291-1:2018). The Alecto COA4010 has a test button which allows you to periodically test whether the carbon monoxide alarm still works properly. No more worries about carbon monoxide with this useful CO alarm! When the 10 years have almost passed, an audible signal is given that the alarm must be replaced.
