Carbon Monoxide Detectors — CO Sensors in Tbilisi
Carbon Monoxide Detectors (CO Alarms) are life-saving safety devices that detect invisible, odorless, and deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gas in air and instantly warn people with audible siren in Tbilisi and throughout Georgia. Carbon monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion of gas stoves, water heaters, boilers, generators, and cars and causes poisoning, loss of consciousness, and death within minutes, making these detectors absolutely essential for all homes, apartments, offices, and any type of building where gas appliances are used. LAGI offers full range of carbon monoxide detectors: electrochemical sensor detectors (most accurate, 7-10 year lifespan), standalone CO detectors (built-in 85dB siren, battery powered), AC powered CO detectors (220V + backup battery), combination smoke+CO detectors (2-in-1, economical solution), digital display detectors (LCD screen, shows CO level in ppm), interconnectable detectors (wireless, all detectors sound simultaneously), smart CO detectors (Wi-Fi, smartphone notifications), 10-year battery models. All detectors comply with European standard EN 50291.
Main Types of Carbon Monoxide Detectors
- Electrochemical sensor detectors — most accurate technology, detect CO in 30-999 ppm range, sensor lifespan 7-10 years, fewer false alarms, recommended.
- Standalone CO detectors — built-in 85dB siren, 9V battery powered (1-2 years), no panel needed, ideal for apartments, small houses.
- AC powered CO detectors — 220V power + backup battery, no battery replacement needed, ideal for new construction, hotels.
- Combination smoke+CO detectors — 2-in-1, detect smoke and carbon monoxide, economical solution, one detector for two threats.
- Digital display detectors — LCD screen, shows CO level in ppm (parts per million), peak level memory, ideal for monitoring.
- Smart CO detectors — Wi-Fi connection, smartphone notifications, remote monitoring, history log, Alexa/Google Home integration.
FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is invisible, odorless, and tasteless gas produced by incomplete combustion of carbon-containing fuel (gas, oil, wood, coal). CO is deadly because: 1) invisible and odorless — impossible to detect with human senses. 2) blocks oxygen — CO binds to hemoglobin in blood and blocks oxygen transport in body. 3) fast action — at high concentration (400+ ppm) causes loss of consciousness and death in 1-3 hours. Symptoms: headache, nausea, dizziness, weakness, confusion. CO is called "silent killer" because victim often doesn't realize danger until too late.
Correct carbon monoxide detector placement is critical for effective protection. Recommendations: 1) near all bedrooms — detector must be in corridor near all bedrooms (CO poisoning most dangerous during sleep). 2) on all floors — minimum one detector per floor. 3) near gas appliances — detector 1-3m distance from gas stove, water heater, boiler. 4) height — on wall at 1.5-2m height or on ceiling (CO is slightly lighter than air and spreads slowly). 5) avoid — in kitchen directly above stove (false alarms), in bathroom (humidity), near windows/doors (air flow). 6) in garage — if garage connected to house, must install detector.
If carbon monoxide detector sounds, take following measures immediately: 1) don't ignore — CO detectors rarely give false alarms, take seriously. 2) evacuation — immediately evacuate all people and pets from building to open air. 3) open windows/doors — if safe to do so, open windows and doors for ventilation. 4) don't go back — don't enter building until professional checks. 5) call 112 — call emergency service from open air. 6) medical help — if anyone has symptoms (headache, nausea, dizziness), seek medical attention immediately. 7) check source — gas technician must check all gas appliances and find CO source.
