Carbon monoxide detector Satel DG-1 CO Wired DC 63g

The Satel DG-1 CO Wired DC 63g is a microprocessor-based carbon monoxide detector designed for continuous monitoring of CO levels in residential and commercial environments. Intended for installation in locations where carbon monoxide may be present — such as boiler rooms, near fireplaces, stoves, gas cookers and in garages — the detector senses dangerous concentrations of CO that exceed threshold levels over a defined time period. The device operates from a DC supply and weighs approximately 63 g. Its design supports standalone alarm functionality via a built-in buzzer and red LED, and it can also be integrated into a larger alarm system.

Advantages

The detector uses a digital detection algorithm and temperature compensation to maintain accurate detection across a wide range of ambient temperatures while reducing false alarms. A continuous self-diagnostic function monitors the sensor, supply voltage and overall performance to ensure reliable operation. The DG-1 CO includes a tamper switch for physical security and provides both visual and audible alerts for detected carbon monoxide presence. Its compact, wired design allows stable, permanent installation and integration with alarm control panels.

Suitable for

• Boiler rooms and utility areas
• Homes with fireplaces, gas stoves or gas cookers
• Garages and enclosed parking spaces
• Commercial kitchens and service rooms
• Integration into wired intrusion or safety alarm systems

How to use

Install the DG-1 CO detector at a height of approximately 1.5 m in the area where carbon monoxide exposure is possible. Connect the device to the appropriate DC supply and, if required, wire it into the alarm system control panel according to the system wiring diagram and local electrical regulations. Ensure the buzzer and LED indicators are unobstructed. After power-up, allow the detector to stabilise and verify the self-diagnostic status. Test the alarm functionality following the manufacturer’s instructions and perform periodic inspections to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

Place the detector away from direct drafts, vents and open windows to avoid misleading readings. Do not install the device directly above fuel-burning appliances; instead, mount it at the recommended height of about 1.5 m. Follow local codes and the alarm system installer’s guidance for wiring and placement, and schedule regular functional checks to maintain reliable carbon monoxide monitoring.
