Hello:

What's a better location for an AC wall plug in type of
CO alarm: a wall socket a few inches off the floor, or a
wall socket mid way up the wall ?

Why ?

B.


Better question to ask is rather the ones you can purchase at a Big
Box store is even going to offer protection BEFORE you have serious
issues!!!

The maximum exposure for 8 hrs is 35 ppm, and for 24 hrs is 8 ppm.
According to the UL Listing company, they will not UL list anything
that sounds before the following guidelines.....

Take a look and you will find a false sense of security in using
MOST store bought detectors!!

There is a very good detector I sell, that will provide an alarm at
10 ppm.....at around $200.

Want one that will PROTECT you, or do you want to buy one that is
only WASTING your money?

I believe there is a lot more to the story than that presented
by that web site. It seems to present information in the same
selective manor as the UFOs are taking over the world sites. A
number of unrelated true statements and a conclusion not really
supported by the given facts.

For the use intended, the approved sensors sold in the stores
are fine. If you look, you will see that there are some inexpensive
sensors with readouts of lower levels, but only sound the alarm when
it exceeds a higher level. Too many low lever alarms would only
cause people to disconnect them.

Think what you wish, but I don't want any levels of CO above the
maximum rating of 9 ppm (in 24 hrs) in my home!!

Well I don't either, but the way the laws are written is practical
and
delivers good safety.


How can a normal (non-digital) CO detector PROTECT you from DANGEROUS
levels
of CO when it doesn't sound till 70 ppm?

That is a false sense of security in my book!

Not to meantion that lower levels than that give me a headache anyway.

KJ, not to add fuel to eithers fire, but the unit I sell, sounds after 70ppm
is reached for 60 minutes, and 189 minutes....150ppm if it stays there for
10, and at 400ppm, 4 minutes.
It also shuts it self off 5 years after its activated...and lets the
homeowner know its life is over.
Its under $80....to some it might be just the ticket.
