Why is the detector (CO) an essential part of the security system?

Carbon monoxide (CO), commonly referred to as cool, is a colourless and odourless gas that can be fatal even in low concentrations. CO detectors detect its presence and trigger the alarm before the concentration becomes hazardous. By integrating the fire detector with the alarm system (SSWiN), you can receive an alarm signal and notify the residents or emergency services.

Types of detectors available in our offer

• Wireless CO detectors: Connected to the control panel, with a relay output. Example: Satellite DG-1 CO. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
• Wireless CO detectors: They communicate radio with the control unit (e.g. ABAX), ideal when there is no wiring. Example: ACMD-200 Satellite. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Electrochemical detectors: Very accurate CO detectors with long sensor life. Example: EL-HOME CD–17A2V2300. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Combo detectors (CO + smoke): They detect both carbon monoxide and smoke, which gives comprehensive fire protection. Example: co-detectors 2in 1.

What should I pay attention to when choosing the CO detector?

• Sensor type: Electrochemical gives more accuracy than simpler sensors.
• Emergency threshold: Check at what concentration CO the detector starts the alarm – e.g. 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 300 ppm. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Power supply: Whether the detector is powered from the control panel (12 V) or works on the battery.
• Communication with the control panel: Cable versions send the alarm via contacts, wireless – radio.
• Installation: The optimal mounting height is about 1.5 m from the floor, which is recommended for CO detectors. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Sabotage: Well, if the detector has a tamper function ("surrounding the detector") it protects against manipulation.

Most common questions (FAQ)

When should the CO detector be mounted?

Ideally in rooms where CO emissions can occur: boiler rooms, kitchens with gas furnaces, garages, fireplaces. The DG-1 CO Satellite detector is worth installing at about 1.5 m. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

How often should you test the detector?

It is recommended to test the detector once a month (test button) and to replace the battery or sensor according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Can the wireless CO detector work on its own?

Yes, many wireless models (e.g. the ACMD-200 satellite) act as an autonomous device and can communicate with the control panel. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
