Testing Carbon Monoxide Alarms with Real CO (SOLO C6)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 апр 2018
- CO (carbon monoxide) is a colorless and odorless gas that can kill you. Having a CO alarm is extremely important. Many common house hold appliances such as heating systems, boilers, gas fire places, and cars have to potential to leak CO. In this video, I test different brands and models of CO detectors with actual carbon monoxide to see which one sounds an alarm first. Enjoy the video!

The nest protect is so smart it knew that this was just a test and no real danger... it only went off due to peer pressure.
The low pressure in the bag caused it to be isolated.

These alarm are designed to only go off between 4 and 15 minutes of being at 400ppm. They are designed this way on PURPOSE. Why? Because they discovered people simply unplug alarms that go off all the time. So the industry agreed on the 4-15 minute and 400ppm standard (and that's what UL tests for). That is to say the alarms should not go off prior to 4 minutes and should not go off later than 15 minutes. All of the alarms showed here passed.
John Smith oik
Do you think the nest passed to be honest ima heavy sleeper I don't think the heads up would wake most people up in my opinion it truly detected co at 16 minutes because that's when it would alert people.
But the nest protect did
Yes
True but nest went off last weird
Can we get a test with just the nest protect by itself for a CO test?
Wikipedia has some good explanation of how the home units measure cumulative over time , not absolute immediate level like smoke alarms ...here is some of it
" The alarm points on carbon monoxide detectors are not a simple alarm level (as in smoke detectors) but are a concentration-time function. At lower concentrations (e.g. 100 parts per million) the detector will not sound an alarm for many tens of minutes. At 400 parts per million (PPM), the alarm will sound within a few minutes. This concentration-time function is intended to mimic the uptake of carbon monoxide in the body while also preventing false alarms due to relatively common sources of carbon monoxide such as cigarette smoke."
They go on to say portable detectors are made that will give an accurate instantaneous reading of actual level.
Nice one! I always wonderd how intelligent the detectors were!
Awesome video! Keep up the great work!
I have a Kidde KN-COPE-I. Good to know that it went off first!
Great vid!
Awesome test! I need to get myself one of those cans!!!
1:20
The green light on the kidde KN-COPE-1 turned off wich means that its dectecting something
Stavros Evokhamun yea
No that means AC power is on
It’s actually called a kidde kn-cope-ic
@@michaelplayz9531 their tje same
True, they do that so when the alarm does go off, the green and red LED don't mix creating a yellow color, although the green light will flash between the beeps of the alarm to still indicate the alarm has power.
Nice job, dude! Your vids are AMAZING and I wish to become part of the

I imagine they are designed to have delayed reactions due to people using their ovens, etc.
IDK why but that ambience sounds nice
*turns volume down*
How did you know
Me too

Me to lol
Great video grant!

Hi
Hey can you get a Simplex Code 3 long neck you know what I mean i had one at my school and I want to hear the different alerts it has
That cool! But you should have tested more common CO alarms 🥺
Can you do this again but with the first alert NICO and the kidde KN-COSM-B? I really enjoyed this video
4:37 the saddest beep sound ever.
Lol
Stavros Evokhamun i know
Ikr
Nooooo 😭 it was like "whyyyyyy.... I was just doing my jobbbbb :("
Sad beep
I really like that night HOKalarm
S.E.R says: 14 minutes in and the nest protect has still not gone off. Maybe 0.40 seconds after: nest protect: nope I’m going off!!
Luna Reviews lol
Luna Reviews btw im john miller with a new account
WeatherRadiosAndSirens01 ok
That’s so cool!
The alarms are so pretty I never seen those alarms 🚨
Im happy i have one!
Great video!
Wow, very, very good. Are there ANY more tests you preform on your units 😐 Let me know. I look forward to hearing from you 😎😀 😎

Edit: read this as tests that _can_ be performed, rather than tests that _are_ performed. Please disregard.
@@user2C47 wat
03:07 The First Alert PC900V Makes a low frequency sound when it goes off. I wish every house had that smoke detector so it can wake anyone up alot faster, epically children

Way to go Mr bansemer!
Very interesting. Is that a Canon Vixia?
Can you do a video of which carbon monoxide detector is the best
You: "The Nest has not gone off yet."
*A second later*
Nest: Heads Up!

Nest is the best
@@BukuiZhao no first alert is
@@egg928 Why?
@@egg928 There is a lot of features in the nest protect that is not in any of those First Alert devices featured in this video. In my opinion the Nest protect is better than Onelink safe & sound.
@@egg928 Follow-up: Really, I recommend you get a nest protect and you would see why I said so. The test in this video is not properly conducted.
1:58 those are the ones we have in our newly built house
Do you ever miss your old videos in the old SER

I have the kiddie kn cope-I it’s awesome 🤩
The Kiddie circle looking alarm went off first I think because it’s sensitive. That’s just my thought because when ever it’s a bit Smokey in my house, it’s always going off even when we hush it
Kidde KN COPE IC
John Smith; has the timelines you stated, are the safest for the public 😐
the nest protect is really cool because it tells you if theres an emergency
Honestly I wish that these would react a little faster. Because I don’t wake up very easily and not even a smoke alarm chirping in the middle of the night was enough to wake me up. But thanks to me watching this video just now I know the symptoms that there is possible carbon monoxide. I like how you tested these. Because unlike smoke spray CO cans is definitely not a good idea for the ones that are in the ceiling
I agree: heck if you ask me _any_ level of CO is bad: why they go off faster only if the concentration is high is nuts to me.
Awesome!
So based on this test the kiddie ones r the most sensitive of Co right?
Emergency! There 's carbon monoxide in the entry way. Move to fresh air.
It was so funny when the nest protect voice saying “heads up” was louder then all the alarms
Can you make Apollo XP95/Discovery system tests?
THIS IS AMERICA NOT UK
He is in the US, it is not available here. Though in the future I might get a FACP from both the US and UK.
Awesome video👍

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Wow cool video
I tested our Carbon Monoxide Alarm with a car exhaust and then I discovered that it would not activate after leaving it in the exhaust for a long time so then we got a new one and it works. Just a reminder that the test button only tests the alarm part and not the detector, so maybe the alarm works but if the detector isn't working it's pointless.
I’m happy the kiddy alarm was first cuz I have them at my house
I love S.E.R
Im So Glad i got the Kidde Kn-Kope-Ic
When you the first alert one with the test button it goes (code 4)(code 4) warning. Evacuate.Carbon monoxide, In, Kitchen. Evacuate. 0, Ppm. (Code 4).
“The alarm is loud.” Says the nest
Me: mooooom i want one
My mom: hmmm nope
Me:plsss
Why would u want one so bad if u have one already which you probably do
jenni sims what do you mean
Did you just open the bag full of carbon monoxide
Wow, you are breathing carbon monoxide right now
The amount of CO in the bag is insignificant compared to the volume of air in the room.
Alex Y well... your breathing O2 and exhaling CO2
Did you not watch the video? it is literally testing CO
That's real co1 but he opened the door. You could survive co1 outside.
Actually I like nest smoke alarm and nice job
Cool!
Great video! But I would think nest would be one of the first because it's high quality
Thank you! But like I said at the end of the video, these results are not valid. I would want to do this simulation at least 10 more times to prove the best detector.
Also because of the nature of a bag, wouldn't the bag be sometimes collapsed over some detectors's "intake vents", blocking the gas from entering it and preventing a quick alarm?
@@SERSafety You improperly conducted the test. You should start it at a drastically increasing PPM or at 400 PPM at first, and those should alarm much more quickly. With the Nest I have it took like 2-5 mins to activate the CO.
You aren't supposed to suck out the air, plus you have to start it at 400 ppm already to do a valid test.
I would Recommend Using the first alarm in the first test In your home.
1 - dont tunr can up side down when spraying, it does not spray out correctly
2 - UL standard alarms does not detect low enought
must be an hvac/r guy!
2:43 We have one of those alarms and once our dog was sniffing the alarm and pressed the test button and it sounded, it scared me and instead of moving the alarm my parents removed it all together
Disguised Noob its ok
bruv never trust first alert i found out my first alert nicos didnt detect anything
That is an actual safety hazard, US Law requires every home to have a carbon monoxide detector in the hallway(s) connecting to bedrooms.
By the time the best protect would go of, everybody would be dead. Just by a question if you know, how long does it take?
For me it took less than 2 mins, I tested it using real CO. this test was done improperly, you should not have vacuumed the air out.
Carbon Monoxide alarms are supposed to go off between 4-15 minutes. all the alarms here passed the test.
@@BukuiZhao I think the reason he sucked the air out was because he wanted to make sure they were all exposed to Carbon monoxide, plus plastic bags don't really allow air to be moved to make way for the Carbon monoxide. it probably would have pushed the carbon monoxide out. also using a bag is safer than directly spraying the detectors anyway due to the dangers of even a low amount of carbon monoxide.
Good video, but not Scientifically correct as you vacuum sealed all the alarms so the co could not get to the all the alarms at once
So I believe the time for all of the alarms are inaccurate
I agree.
I have nest protect smoke alarm black
Yes, I agree. One other thing is that those alarms going off late unless its 400+ ppm is not unusual, its exactly how it is supposed to go.
@@BukuiZhao ;
I earnestly pray you're right here ...
As I just spent a small fortune (for my finances anyhow) to replace all my 7 cheap old ionization smoke detectors with NPs. And was disturbed by the test results of this video, what with the NP being the last one to start alerting for the presence of CO like this.
The video was quite at the beginning of the video
The kidde talking one is my favorite
WeatherRadiosAndSirens01 1 you just don’t know what nest protect have it can be downloaded app
I know
@@minnesotaoutdoorwarningsirens I have one nest protect now
I love the nest protect
2:49
The kidde KN-COPE-1 stoped sounding an alarm and then started again, did anyone notice?
It's KN-COPE-I. Jeez why do many people confuse I's as 1's?
Temple 92 oh
How many comments do you have on this video
Definitely
HI SER it seems your a firefighter ? I am trying to build a fire protection page I saw a video that showed that while a 2.5 lbs bc unit it says on that unit it takes 12 seconds to discharge but the video I saw stated that a dish towel only when out after 21 seconds so I guess that means it only must have worked after the agent lingered in the air for a while as a delayed reaction?? somethining that I would think would be interesting if you could do an experiment on as a future video that would help my page is if you were to get the special purpose kidde kitchen unit with cone and see what effect the cone type has on ability to extinguish a dish towel if you ever make such a video please send me a copy it will help my page please thank you!
I like that he sprays deadly carbon monoxide in his own garage
At 3:51 the Nest Protect just got angry at you, you should listen and get out if that was in a house
I have two Kidde KN-COP-DP2's and two Kidde P-9040 smoke detectors in my house
What did the first alerts say S.E.R. Safety?
"Warning! Evacuate! Carbon monoxide in bedroom. Evacuate! Highest carbon monoxide level was 220 PPM."
I'm not sure if it actually said bedroom, I think it did but not sure
Or possibly utility room
I like the nest protect
The first one to alarm kiddie is the model i have👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
For me it all about the battery, 9volts battery are harder to find, AA batteries are everywhere...can some recommend any the use them...thank you
Nest Protect uses AA batteries
It’s all in the UL code. They’re not allowed to activate before a certain time and at too low a PPM, otherwise they’re considered defective. Weird. It was mentioned in a different RUclips video.
The first one went off and I have the first one , thank god
Me too
Though I took those out and got the Nest Protect, just got them today
Replace it with a nest protect, nest is better. BTW if it would react so fast to 200ppm it would be against code, he need to start the test at 400ppm or higher and it will wait for no more than 4 mins
2:57 That’s my jam
Whut
What do you mean
Witch one was chirping at the beginning?
Kidde kn-cope-ic
It was loud do you think it was Loud
sounds like one of them was at a low battery the whole time, but good video.
I have a kidde kn-cob-dp2
How much does canned Co cost????
the kidde kn-cob-dp2 is really common
I have that kidde smoke and carbon monoxide alarm
I like the Nest Protect. It's well developed and gives verbal warnings before an alarm, which everyone wants when cooking, etc. It also runs on battery, wire, and battery and wire. It also has a full app, which if your out of your house and it goes off, you get notified and you know that somethings happened. Obviously, it's a good detector and it's a good detector to have.
Yes, I have one
WE LOVE NEST PROTECT!
Are they horn strobe
Credits to best security systems
Winner:nest protect
That’s the only one that has voice saying the location,two stages,wireless interconnect,app download
Edit: Despite being the last one to respond it still works as it is supposed to. It will remain silent for a while even if CO is present, and if CO levels are high for a while the alarm will go off. It is actually a requirement, and that is why even the first one to respond still took a while to do so.
*_THIS ALARM CANT BE SILENCED HERE_*
now what buddy
