The explosive gas/CO combination alarm shall be a First Alert Model GCO1 and shall
provide at a minimum the following features and functions:
1. An electrochemical CO sensor and a metal oxide explosive gas sensor.
2. The unit shall have a digital display with peak CO memory feature.
3. The unit shall be capable of self restoring.
4. The unit shall have an "End of Life" signal. This signal should be capable of
temporarily being silenced for up to 2 days. After about 2 days, the signal will
resume. After about 2-3 weeks the signal cannot be silenced.
5. 120V AC powered with a 9V alkaline battery backup and a solid state piezo horn
rated at 85dB at 10 ft.
6. The CO sensor is adjusted not to detect CO levels below 30 PPM and will not
alarm when exposed to constant levels of 30 PPM for 30 days. It will alarm
at the following levels: 400 PPM CO between 4 and 15 minutes, 150 PPM CO
between 10 and 50 minutes and 70 PPM CO between 60 and 240 minutes.
7. A visual green LED power-on indicator to confirm unit is receiving power. A visual
red indicator to show unit is in alarm.
8. A full function test button should check all alarm functions by simulating an
explosive gas and CO condition, causing the unit to alarm.
9. Two Silence features - Low Battery Silence: Silence low battery chirp for up to 8
hours. Alarm Silence: Temporarily silence unwanted nuisance alarms.
10. The unit shall be capable of operating between 40°F (4°C) and
100°F (38°C) and relative humidity between 10% and 95%.
11. The unit shall contain mounting hardware and shall be listed for wall mounting.
12. The unit shall at a minimum meet the requirements of UL1484, UL2034, NFPA
