🔍 How It Works
Combo detectors contain two separate sensors inside one unit:
-
Smoke Sensor (photoelectric or ionization): detects smoke particles produced by fires.
-
Carbon Monoxide Sensor (electrochemical): measures CO gas concentration in the air.
When either hazard is detected, the device triggers a loud alarm and often indicates whether the danger is smoke or CO through different beep patterns or voice alerts.
⭐ Key Features
Dual Protection
One device monitors both fire smoke and carbon monoxide gas, providing comprehensive home safety.
