Overview

The FIRST ALERT GCO1CN combines carbon monoxide and explosive gas protection in a single, easy to install unit. It uses an electrochemical CO sensor for accurate detection and also monitors for common fuels such as propane and methane or natural gas. A backlit digital display provides clear readings, while a loud 85 dB horn offers timely alerts.

Designed for simple setup, this plug-in alarm powers from a standard outlet and includes a backup 9-volt battery to maintain monitoring during power interruptions. The unit also features a test and silence button to quickly verify operation and mute non-threatening alarms.

Key features

  • Electrochemical CO sensor delivers accurate carbon monoxide detection
  • Detects propane and methane/natural gas in addition to CO
  • Backlit digital display shows current and peak gas levels at a glance
  • Plug-in design for easy setup with a reliable power backup from the included battery
  • 85-decibel alarm is designed to be heard across typical living spaces
  • Test/silence button for quick checks and nuisance alarm control
  • UL listed for safety and quality assurance

Real-world use and placement tips

Place the detector in areas where fuel-burning appliances are used or where gas lines and vents could impact air quality. It’s suitable for kitchens, utility rooms, basements, and hallways near sleeping areas. The backlit display is handy at night, and the battery backup adds peace of mind during outages.

  • Install near furnaces, water heaters, and gas stoves to catch gas leaks early
  • Position away from direct vents or cooking flames to reduce nuisance alarms
  • Test regularly and replace the battery before it signals a low power state
