The INDEXA CO90-230 battery-operated carbon monoxide detector monitors indoor CO (carbon monoxide) levels and issues an audible alarm when concentrations exceed established safe thresholds. Designed for compact installation in homes, apartments and small commercial spaces, this unit provides continuous monitoring without the need for mains power. The device is intended to help occupants recognize dangerous CO build-up caused by incomplete combustion from heating appliances, chimneys or other fuel-burning equipment.
Advantages
The detector combines a compact footprint with straightforward installation and battery-powered operation, allowing flexible placement where mains-powered detectors are impractical. Its audible alarm provides an immediate warning of elevated CO levels, supporting timely evacuation or ventilation. The unit is designed for continuous passive monitoring and low maintenance, with a clear indicator system for alarm and operational status.

How to use
Install the detector on a wall or ceiling according to the manufacturer’s placement guidance, choosing a position near sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances but away from drafts, windows and direct heat sources. Insert fresh batteries and verify the operational indicator or test function before regular use. When the device sounds an alarm, follow safety procedures: ventilate the area, turn off potential sources of combustion, evacuate occupants if necessary and seek assistance. Replace batteries and test the unit at regular intervals to maintain reliable operation.
Usage recommendations
Place the detector at least one metre away from fuel-burning appliances to avoid false readings, test the unit monthly, replace batteries according to the manufacturer’s schedule, and replace the detector if it no longer passes functional checks or reaches the end of its operational lifetime.
