Detects carbon monoxide buildup in your home before it reaches dangerous levels
Why your home needs a carbon monoxide sensor
In small doses, carbon monoxide (CO) is harmless. In high concentrations, however, it can quickly become harmful—even deadly. But here’s the real problem: carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. That means you can’t see it, you can’t smell it, and you can’t detect it. Not without help. hat’s where a carbon monoxide detector comes in.
This top-of-the-line device will alert you and your loved ones before the carbon monoxide in your home reaches dangerous levels, so you can get out and get to safety. And with 24-hour ADT monitoring, you can rest assured that a security specialist will be notified and contact emergency services in your area, even if you can’t.

How it works
Your carbon monoxide alarm from ADT constantly scans the air in your living space for CO buildup. If it detects 70 parts per million (PPM) or more, the alarm will go off, and it will send a signal to your security system’s control panel to alert a representative at one of six ADT monitoring centers nationwide. The first symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning appear at 100 PPM, so you’ll hear the alarm and a monitoring center will be notified well before your family is in danger.
What makes it different
Unlike other store-bought carbon monoxide detectors that merely beep when they sense too much carbon monoxide, this device integrates with your home security system to alert a 24-hour ADT monitoring center immediately, even if you can’t hear the alarm when it goes off. Good luck missing it though. Measuring 85 decibels at a distance of 10 feet, the alarm signal is almost sure to reach every corner of your home. Your device also includes four LED indicators, so you can check its status anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my carbon monoxide detector beeping?
If your carbon monoxide detector or your ADT monitored security system is beeping or chirping, that may mean there’s been a power outage or your device has a low battery. If in doubt, contact an ADT representative immediately for further assistance.
