This seems a well made and attractive home Carbon Monoxide warning device from Tegollus. It is similar to many others I have seen but does have a few features that make it stand out from the rest.
The unit arrived in a rather downmarket product box but which had useful information about the device printed on it. Inside the box were the alarm itself, a mounting kit and a plastic tool the purpose of which is not explained but may help with fitting the device. Also included was an excellent User guide, well written and informative but rather hard to read. It is worth getting the magnifying glass out to read it as it contains important information about using and installing the product. I include a scan of it in my unboxing video, switch to full screen and pause to read it.
The alarm is circular, 4.5" in diameter, 1.3" tall and weighs in at just 4.54 g. On the front face of the unit are the sensors, speaker grill, backlit LCD panel, three status LEDs and a test button. On the rear of the unit is the battery housing for three AA batteries (not supplied). The batteries are a tight fit and I had to struggle to get them out after testing but it is good to know will not work loose.
Fitting the unit is simple enough and is similar to many others I have tried. Using the included kit attach the plastic mounting panel to the ceiling or wall and the alarm will then just lock in place. Just rotate the alarm to remove or refit it.
The device has a memory function, auto testing features which automatically informs you of a circuit or sensor failure or low battery. It has a four-stage alarm system designed to protect against sustained low or increasing Carbon Monoxide levels: 30PPM, alarm within 120 mins, 50PPM, alarm within 60-90 mins, 100PPM, alarm within 10-40mins, 300PPM, alarm within 3mins. Pressing the button will stop the alert sounding but if the abnormal levels continue the alert will sound again.
The unit has thr..
