Product Information

Full details

The X-Sense Carbon Monoxide Detector (XC0C-SR) is designed for homeowners seeking reliable, long-term protection against the dangers of carbon monoxide. Its primary benefit is a 10-year lifespan, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. A potential caveat is that while battery-powered, the batteries are replaceable and require periodic attention. This CO alarm features a digital display for real-time readings, versatile placement options with both freestanding and wall-mount capabilities, and user-friendly controls for essential functions. It offers clear status indication via a tri-color LED.

FAQs

How long does the X-Sense XC0C-SR last?

The detector is designed to operate for 10 years from the date of first use. After 10 years, the entire unit must be replaced.

What type of batteries does it use, and how often do they need replacing?

It uses two standard AA batteries, which typically last about 3 years. You will be alerted with a chirp and a flashing yellow LED when the batteries are low.

Can I mount this CO detector on the wall?

Yes, the XC0C-SR comes with screws and mounting hardware for easy wall installation. It can also be placed on a flat surface.

How do I know if the alarm is working correctly?

A green LED indicates normal operation. You can also press the TEST/SILENCE button weekly to ensure the alarm and indicator lights are functioning properly.

What does the digital display show?

The digital display shows the current concentration of carbon monoxide in parts per million (PPM). It also shows the peak CO level detected since the last reset when the peak level button is pressed.

Is this alarm interconnected with other alarms?

No, the X-Sense XC0C-SR is a standalone carbon monoxide detector and does not interconnect wirelessly with other alarms.

How should I clean the CO detector?

Gently wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment to clean dust from the vents monthly.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not sound during test

Ensure batteries are correctly installed and fully charged. Press and hold the TEST/SILENCE button for a full 5 seconds. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

Yellow LED flashes and unit chirps

This indicates low battery power. Replace the AA batteries with new ones immediately. Ensure correct polarity.

Yellow LED flashes without chirping

This indicates a fault condition. Reset the unit by removing the batteries for 10 seconds, then reinstalling them. If the fault persists, the unit may need replacement.

Red LED flashes and alarm sounds

Carbon monoxide has been detected. Evacuate the area immediately and call emergency services or your local gas company from a safe location. Ventilate the area once safe to re-enter.

Display shows '0' or incorrect readings

Ensure the unit is not placed too close to air vents or sources of combustion. Try resetting the unit by removing and reinserting the batteries. Ensure the digital display is not obstructed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Long 10-year operational life reduces long-term costs and hassle.
  • Replaceable batteries allow for continued use without replacing the entire unit.
  • Digital display provides clear, real-time CO level readings.
  • Flexible placement options suit various room layouts and preferences.
  • Simple button interface makes operation and testing straightforward.

Cons

  • Replaceable batteries require periodic checks and changes, though less often than some alarms.
  • The unit itself has a 10-year lifespan, after which it must be replaced entirely.
  • Requires clear airflow for accurate CO detection; placement near vents or humidifiers may affect performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Battery Installation: Open the battery compartment and insert the two AA batteries, observing correct polarity. Close the compartment securely.
  2. Initial Test: Press and hold the TEST/SILENCE button for a few seconds to perform an initial system test. The alarm should sound.
  3. Placement: Choose a location that is at least 5 feet (1.5 meters) away from cooking appliances and heating/ventilation sources. For wall mounting, use the provided screws and anchors to attach the mounting bracket. For freestanding use, place the unit on a stable, level surface.

Compatibility:

This is a standalone carbon monoxide detector and does not wirelessly interconnect with other alarms. It is powered by standard AA batteries.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the detector with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic or interfere with the sensor.
  • Vacuuming: Use the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust from the sensor vents once a month to ensure optimal performance.
  • Battery Replacement: Replace the AA batteries when the yellow LED flashes and the unit chirps, or at least every 3 years, whichever comes first, to ensure continuous operation.
