January 2, 2017Smoke & CO alarms
This is just an initial review since I just received them. So far alarms work great they turned on easily the test buttons on all of them worked and alarms were very audible and easy to hear from a distance. Installing them was very easy all I needed was a screwdriver. So for firs initial review Im giving it a 4 out of 5. Will review again if something goes wrong or if they work as long as they say they will

February 17, 2016Pleased with the design of this combination. Best looking and function that I found after extensive research. Not yet installed but expect it to have good function to support the fee I paid for it.

My 10 year First Alert smoke detector lasted 17 years. So naturally I replaced it with another First Alert detector. Very reliable.

July 9, 2014First Alert 10 Year Photoelectric Combo Smoke & CO Alarm
The shopping experience was easy & pain free as was the installation of new combo smoke & CO alarms.
Other reasons include: It could be a different device or appliance such as a security system, monitor, carbon monoxide alarm, or other device which has a similar low battery or alert signal. Some of the same factors that cause unwanted alarms can cause intermittent alarms: dust and insects in the alarm or power interruptions in hardwired alarms. Improper wiring on AC or AC/DC smoke alarms. AC alarms will chirp every 5 seconds if the interconnect wire is grounded. The orange interconnect wire should NEVER be grounded; it should only be used to interconnect other smoke alarms or compatible devices.
- You may not be holding the test button down long enough. Try holding it down for up to 10 seconds (20 seconds on photoelectric models) .
- Your battery may not be installed properly or snapped all the way in place. Even if the alarm sounded briefly when the battery touched the terminals, you still need to make sure it is snapped securely in place. If the battery is loose, in cannot power the smoke alarm properly. After installing new batteries, be sure to test your smoke detector.
- Your AC power may not be on. AC and AC/DC units will have a power indicator light (red or green) that shines continuously when they are receiving electrical power.
- If you have a 10-Year model, the smoke alarm may not have been properly activated. If the tab broke away before the alarm was activated, you can use a toothpick to move the switch over to test the alarm.
- There may be insufficient battery power, try new batteries.
- Problems with voltage or insufficient electrical power (brown out) may cause a continuous weak sounding alarm. For AC or AC/DC models, temporarily disconnect power at the service panel until the brown out is over. If you do not restore the AC power, your smoke alarms cannot warn you of a fire.
- Incompatible warning device. If an incompatible alarm or auxiliary device is linked into a series of AC or AC/DC smoke alarms it may cause the system inadvertently go off.
- It is possible that your smoke alarm "silence" button was pushed by mistake. The alarm will now "chirp" once a minute for up to 15 minutes before resetting.
- Are you sure it's the smoke alarm? Funny to ask, but other devices have similar low battery chirps or warning tones.
- Your "new" batteries may not be fresh. If batteries are stored, especially in cold areas like refrigerators, they lose their charge more quickly. Always check the freshness date on the package when buying new batteries. Keep plenty of replacement batteries on hand so that you are sure to always be protected by your smoke alarms.
If it's time to replace your alarms, consider the NEW 10-Year Life series and never have to worry about a battery replacement for the life of the alarm.10-Year alarms are available in smoke, carbon monoxide and combination alarms.
Here are a few situations that may cause a carbon monoxide alarm "false alarm:"
- The carbon monoxide alarm needs to be relocated. Carbon monoxide alarms should be located 15-20 feet away from all fossil fuel burning sources like furnaces and stoves. Alarms should be located 10 feet away from sources of humidity like showers.
- Fossil fuel burning appliances may not be burning fuel completely. Check pilot lights/flames for blue color. Appearance of yellow or orange flames indicates incomplete combustion-a source of carbon monoxide.
10 Year Photoelectric Combo Smoke & CO Alarm
By continually striving to deliver the most intuitive and technologically superior equipment on the market, First Alert has earned its reputation as an invaluable ally in bolstering security and attaining unrivaled levels in peace of mind. First Alert's Ten Year Series of Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms is the definitive edition of this revolutionary line of alarms. The PC910 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm features an unprecedented ten year lifespan that complies with the Current 10-Year Legislation. A leap in technology has eliminated the need to ever power or charge this unit with batteries. An end of life signal will readily alert owners once the unit has reached its ten year capacity.
Photoelectric Sensor Warns of Smoldering Fires
The First Alert PC910 Smoke Alarm comes equipped with a photoelectric sensor to provide the earliest possible warning of fire. The sensor is optimized to detect larger smoke particles produced by smoldering fires, such as those caused by unextinguished cigarettes. It also distinguishes between real threats and smoke/vapor produced during showering, cooking, and other everyday activities, helping minimize the number of false alarms. A patented smoke entry system helps ensures reliable detection by providing a direct air pathway to the sensor.
Electrochemical Sensor Monitors CO Levels
The alarm also features an advanced electrochemical sensor that detects carbon monoxide leaks from a variety of sources, such as faulty fuel-burning appliances, blocked chimneys, and cars left running in the garage. Carbon monoxide can't be seen, smelled, or tasted in the air, and it is the leading cause of accidental poisoning deaths in America. By placing carbon monoxide detectors on every floor of the home and in each sleeping room, you can help protect your family from the danger of carbon monoxide.
Modern, Sleek Design
Unlike older, bulkier detectors, the First Alert PC900 Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm features a modern, thin design that can be unobtrusively mounted on a wall or ceiling. The sleek white finish coordinates seamlessly with most home decor.
Built-In 10-Year Battery
The First Alert PC910 Combination Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm features a built-in 10-year lithium battery that provides continuous power for the life of the detector. An end-of-life timer lets you know when the device should be replaced.
* California and New York Residents - Please note this alarm is not compliant with your State's 10 Year Sealed Battery Alarm Legislation Requirements.
