Carbon Monoxide and Natural Gas Detection

The USI Electric MCN108 Hardwired Carbon Monoxide and Natural Gas Smart Alarm is a 2-in-1 device that provides double the protection with a single installation. This dual-sensing alarm protects against two deadly household threats: carbon monoxide and natural gas (or methane). Perfect for new or replacement installations, the 120-volt AC/DC hardwired alarm is suitable for houses, apartments and mobile homes.

Auto sensitivity calibration provides superior nuisance alarm protection and creates consistency in alarm sensitivity. This alarm has additional automatic features including a self-diagnostics check to ensure proper operation, a sensitivity adjustment for changes in temperature or humidity and an end-of-service life warning that sounds when it's time to replace the battery. The 9-volt alkaline battery (included) continues protection in the event of a power outage.

This carbon monoxide and natural gas alarm features a quick activation pull-tab and a front-loading battery drawer for replacement without removing the alarm from the bracket. Mount the bracket to any standard wiring junction box and use the large mounting base to cover imperfections in drywall. The plastic dust cover protects the alarm from debris and (2) tamper-resistant locks prevent unwanted alarm or battery removal.

For maximum protection, install an alarm inside every bedroom, outside every sleeping area and on all levels of the dwelling. The USI Electric MCN108 Hardwired Carbon Monoxide and Natural Gas Smart Alarm comes with a 7 year limited warranty.

Hardwired carbon monoxide (CO) and natural gas alarms are a sophisticated and highly effective solution for protecting your home from two of the most dangerous, yet invisible, household threats. Unlike single-purpose alarms, these dual-sensor units are permanently wired into your home's electrical system, providing a continuous power source for both carbon monoxide and natural gas detection. This hardwired connection ensures unwavering reliability, as the alarms are always on and actively monitoring for leaks. Many of these units are designed to be interconnected, so if one alarm detects a leak, all linked alarms throughout the house will sound off simultaneously, providing a prompt and widespread alert. To further enhance their dependability, these alarms are often equipped with a 10-year sealed battery backup. This vital failsafe guarantees that the alarm remains fully operational even during a power outage, ensuring your family is protected from dangerous gas leaks when they might be most vulnerable. This comprehensive, integrated approach provides a superior level of safety and peace of mind.

Advantages of a Hardwired CO and Natural Gas Alarm

  • Continuous, Uninterrupted Power: Wired directly into your home's electrical system, the alarm receives a stable power source 24/7. This eliminates the risk of the alarm being disabled due to a forgotten or dead battery.
  • Early, Widespread Warning: Hardwired alarms can be interconnected. If one unit detects a gas leak, all connected alarms will sound simultaneously throughout the home, ensuring every resident gets an immediate, life-saving warning, regardless of their location.
  • Meets Building Codes: Many modern building codes and regulations require hardwired and interconnected alarms for new construction and major renovations, making this a future-proof and code-compliant choice.
  • Dual-Threat Protection: A single, integrated unit provides comprehensive protection against both odorless, toxic carbon monoxide and potentially explosive natural gas, simplifying your home safety setup.

Advantages of a Hardwired CO and Natural Gas Alarm with a Backup Battery

  • Reliable Failsafe: The battery backup ensures the alarm remains fully functional during power outages. This is crucial as power failures can often be associated with events that lead to gas leaks (e.g., storms, equipment failure).
  • Convenience and Flexibility: Unlike sealed batteries, a removable battery allows you to replace it without having to replace the entire unit. This can be a more cost-effective option over the alarm's 10-year lifespan.
  • Easy Maintenance: You have the ability to swap out the battery to address a low-battery chirp, extending the alarm's functional life until the full 10-year end-of-life replacement is needed.
  • Immediate Operation: In a temporary power outage, the removable battery ensures the alarm is immediately ready to go, providing peace of mind when it's needed most.
Can I replace just one hardwired smoke alarm, or do I need to replace them all?
You can replace a single alarm, but for best protection and compatibility it’s recommended that all interconnected alarms in your home are from the same manufacturer and of a similar age.
WHAT LEVELS (PPM) OF CARBON MONOXIDE CAUSE AN ALARM?
Carbon monoxide alarms are designed to alarm before the average healthy adult feels symptoms. Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it's not present. Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO alarms to sound when exposure times and exposure levels of CO in the chart below. CO alarm levels are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes). The UL2034 Required Alarm Points are:
  • If the Alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, it must alarm between 4 and 15 minutes.
  • If the Alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, it must alarm between 10 and 50 minutes.
  • If the Alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, it must alarm between 60 and 240 minutes.
WHERE DO NATURAL GAS LEAKS HAPPEN?
Having a home natural gas detector or alarm is crucial to ensure your safety, as leaks can originate from various parts of your plumbing. Interior gas lines, which transport gas throughout your house to appliances, can develop leaks due to corrosion, improper installation, or wear and tear. The appliances themselves, like furnaces, water heaters, and ovens, can also be culprits, leaking from faulty valves, hoses, or connections, especially if not maintained properly or if the appliances are old. Even underground pipes bringing gas to your house from the main line can leak due to accidental digging or events like earthquakes.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I REPLACE MY HOME NATURAL GAS DETECTOR?
To ensure your home natural gas detector keeps you safe, replace it every seven years, even if there are no warning signs. Check the expiration date on the detector itself, but plan for replacement every seven years regardless. A natural gas detector will beep frequently (every 30 seconds to a minute) or display an "EOL" (End-of-Life) alert when nearing the end of its lifespan, but don't wait for these warnings before replacing.
WHY ARE MY NATURAL GAS DETECTORS BEEPING?
A beeping natural gas alarm can indicate either a dangerous gas leak or a less serious issue. Evacuate your home immediately and call 911 from outside if the beeping is continuous, as this signifies a potential leak. However, a natural gas leak detector alarm may use short, regular beeps (every minute or so) to signal low battery or the end of the detector's life.
IS CARBON MONOXIDE HEAVIER THAN AIR?
Carbon monoxide is not heavier than air. A carbon monoxide alarm should be installed in a location where the alarm will stay clean, and out of the way of children or pets. Refer to the user's manual for specific installation requirements.
WHERE SHOULD I INSTALL MY CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS?
It is very important to install a carbon monoxide alarm outside each separate sleeping area, and for maximum protection, install one in every bedroom. Many states now require installation of a carbon monoxide alarm inside each bedroom. For added protection, placement of an additional carbon monoxide alarm at least 15-20 feet away from the furnace or fuel burning heat sources is recommended. Install carbon monoxide alarms a minimum of 10 feet from sources of humidity like bathrooms and showers. In multiple-story dwellings, install one carbon monoxide alarm on every level. If you have a basement, install a carbon monoxide alarm at the top of the basement stairs, and in each separate sleeping area.
WHAT AREAS SHOULD I AVOID INSTALLATION OF A CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM?
Do not install carbon monoxide alarms in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty, humid, or greasy areas. Do not install alarms in direct sunlight, or areas subjected to temperature extremes. These areas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, un-insulated or poorly insulated ceilings, and porches. Carbon monoxide alarms should not be installed in outlets covered by curtains, heavy furniture or other obstructions. Do not install in turbulent air-near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent carbon monoxide from reaching the CO sensors.
WHY DO I NEED A NATURAL GAS DETECTOR?
When natural gas leaks into a confined space, it can build up to an explosive concentration. If there's an ignition source like a spark from an appliance or a lit cigarette, an explosion can occur.

USI Electric Carbon Monoxide and Natural Gas

This alarm replaced my previous hard-wired USI Carbon Monoxide alarm. It was reasonably priced and delivered to my home on time. It was very easy to install as the electrical connector was the same as my previous model. It also detects Natural Gas as an added bonus. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend it.
