The CO Alarm
The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm measures
CO levels in the air. It will alarm if CO levels rise
quickly (if the heat exchanger on your furnace
breaks, for example), or if CO is consistently
present (a slow CO leak in your stove or water
heater).

The Smoke Alarm
The Smoke Alarm monitors the air for the
presence of combustion particles (produced
when something burns). When enough
combustion particles reach the smoke sensing
chamber, it triggers an alarm.
