Key Features of Arctic Hayes Safety Detectors

When choosing a carbon monoxide detector, the features below make the biggest difference on the job:

• Electrochemical CO sensing: This is the usual technology for dependable carbon monoxide detection, and it is designed to respond to the gas itself rather than to smoke or heat.
• Audible alarm: A loud alert wakes sleeping occupants and gets attention in plant rooms and utility spaces.
• Test function: A test button lets you confirm the unit works at installation and during routine visits.
• Visual indicators: Status lights show that the unit is powered and working, and help flag a low battery or end-of-life condition.
• Straightforward mounting: Simple fixing makes it quick to fit a detector at the point of installation or leave one with a customer.

Look for BS EN 50291 marking on any CO alarm you fit in a home. Product listings give the full specification for each detector.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I fit a carbon monoxide detector?

Follow the manufacturer's instructions supplied with the unit. Detectors are generally fitted in the same room as the appliance, and in or near sleeping areas. Keep them away from direct heat, steam and cooking fumes, and do not cover them.

Does a CO detector replace appliance servicing?

No. A detector is a warning device and does not make a faulty appliance safe. Gas appliances should still be installed and serviced by a Gas Safe registered engineer, and the HSE gives guidance on safe working near combustion appliances.

How often should I test a detector?

Press the test button regularly, as the instructions advise, and check the indicators for battery or end-of-life warnings. Replace the unit when the manufacturer's stated life expires.

Which Arctic Hayes detector should I choose?

Match the detector to the application. Consider the type of appliance, the room, the power supply and the approvals required, such as BS EN 50291 for domestic use. Tooled-Up.com lists the details on each product page to help you compare.
