Fireboy-Xintex CO Alarm 12/24V DC – Black

Description

A carbon monoxide detector belongs in every accommodation space aboard; a small craft or RV with an open layout might get by with just one, but partition off two or more sleeping areas and each one needs its own detector. This Fireboy-Xintex CMD6-M Series CO Alarm, in black with 12/24V DC power, is built to fill that role, though this version doesn’t support interconnecting with other units.

A microprocessor-driven sensor uses a Time Weighted Average (TWA) process, tracking CO concentration alongside temperature and time to calculate Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels, the degree to which carbon monoxide binding to hemoglobin restricts the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity, expressed as a percentage. Since the body absorbs CO more readily than oxygen, COHb reflects the ratio of absorbed carbon monoxide to oxygen in the bloodstream, and the alarm works out that ratio over time to pick the right response.

The compact housing stays inconspicuous once mounted, resisting most chemicals, solvents, and cleaners, and runs off boat power with a permanent internal lithium-metal backup battery. Sensor life runs approximately 7 years to end-of-life.
