Product Description

First Alert GCO1CN - 3-in-1 Combination Carbon Monoxide and Explosive Gas Alarm for Residential and Institutional Applications

Protect against three household hazards in one alarm: carbon monoxide, propane, and natural/methane gas. The First Alert GCO1CN is UL 1484 and UL 2034 Listed and compatible with NYC Local Law 157 and 102 of 2025 (Jan 1, 2027 natural gas alarm deadline). An electrochemical CO sensor and a metal oxide gas sensor deliver early warning on an EZ View backlit digital display with peak level memory. Plugs into any 120V AC outlet with 9V battery backup during power outages. Dual compliance for NYC gas and CO in a single unit - ideal for co-ops, condos, multifamily buildings, hotels, and dormitories.

Top Features

  • 3-Way Protection in a Single Alarm: Three sensors detect carbon monoxide, propane gas, and natural/methane gas - one unit replaces separate CO and gas alarms, reducing install points and maintenance overhead.
  • Electrochemical CO Sensor: The most accurate CO sensing technology available for residential alarms, with conservative thresholds (70 PPM for 60-240 min, 150 PPM for 10-50 min, 400 PPM for 4-15 min) and no false-alarm response below 30 PPM.
  • EZ View Backlit Digital Display: Clear real-time readout of CO levels in parts per million (PPM), active hazard type (Gas or CO), and battery status - with peak level memory to recall the highest CO reading since the last reset.
  • 120V AC Plug-In with 9V Battery Backup: Continuous protection even during power outages via the included 9V alkaline battery backup; swing-up battery cover allows 9V replacement without removing the unit from the outlet.
  • Two Silence Features Plus End-of-Life Warning: Silence the low-battery chirp for up to 8 hours or silence a nuisance alarm for several minutes with one button; End-of-Life feature signals when the unit needs replacement.

Installation of this alarm must conform to NFPA 720 and all applicable local building codes - always check local codes before installation and follow all placement instructions in the user manual. The GCO1CN is designed for residential and institutional applications including sleeping rooms of hospitals, hotels, motels, dormitories, and other multifamily dwellings as defined in NFPA 101. This combination alarm does not replace smoke alarms - each dwelling unit still requires a UL 217 listed smoke alarm in addition to this gas/CO alarm. The alarm contains mounting hardware and is listed for wall mounting. Battery not stated as included in the spec sheet - verify battery inclusion at receipt.
