Description
Fireboy-Xintex CO Alarm w/Battery & Interconnect | Boat Supply Store
Protecting enclosed marine living spaces from dangerous carbon monoxide buildup is paramount. This unit employs a microprocessor-controlled, time-weighted average (TWA) sensor system to precisely monitor CO concentrations, calculating Carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) for accurate threat assessment. Measuring 3.5" x 3.5" x 1.21", it delivers an 85 dB(A) audible alarm and features an approximately 7-year sensor lifespan. Its completely wireless, internal battery-powered design eliminates complex wiring runs, making it ideal for securing comprehensive CO monitoring in any cabin configuration.
Key Features
