Product Overview

Photoelectric Sensor Warns of Smoldering Fires

The First Alert PC1210 combination 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, smoke and vapor produced during showering, cooking, and other everyday activities, helping minimize the number of false alarms. A patented smoke entry system helps ensure reliable detection by providing a direct air pathway to the sensor.

Electrochemical Sensor Monitors CO Levels

The combination alarm with 10-year battery 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.

Built-In 10-Year Battery

The First Alert PC1210 10-Year 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 warning lets you know when the detector should be replaced.

Sleek, Low-Profile Design

Half as thick as a standard alarm, the First Alert PC1210 Photoelectric Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm packs premium detection features into a sleek, compact detector. The ultra-thin design features a white finish that blends seamlessly with most home decor.

Battery-Powered Alarm Installs Easily

This battery-powered, combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector requires no rewiring to install. Simply mount it on a wall or ceiling using the versatile twist-lock mounting bracket. An end-of-life warning will notify you when the detector is nearing expiration.

Alerts You to Danger

When a threat is detected, the smoke and carbon monoxide alarm sounds a loud 85-decibel alarm. A single button allows you to silence alarms and test if the detector is working.
