HONEYWELL R200C-1 carbon monoxide alarm, 10-year service life and warranty

A carbon monoxide alarm is needed in every building or room with a solid-fuel heating system: a wood-burning stove, cooker or fireplace, or a gas water heater.

Carbon monoxide is a highly dangerous gas that is invisible, tasteless and odourless and can only be detected with a dedicated alarm. When inhaled, carbon monoxide interferes with the blood's ability to carry oxygen and can cause serious health problems, ranging from feeling unwell, headaches and vomiting to fatal consequences following exposure to high concentrations or prolonged inhalation.

A reliable, high-quality carbon monoxide alarm for the home provides reassurance that an alert will sound if the carbon monoxide concentration reaches a dangerous level.

Long-life power supply

The 10-year service life of this carbon monoxide alarm's power supply (built-in battery) is fully covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Keep proof of purchase and contact us if the alarm does not appear to be working as intended.

No battery replacement required

This carbon monoxide alarm eliminates the need to change batteries. It has a built-in power supply that neither needs nor allows replacement, helping to maintain uninterrupted protection at home.

Buying replacement batteries incurs additional costs and creates a safety risk if an alarm awaiting new batteries is left on a shelf for weeks. During that time, carbon monoxide may be present but the alarm cannot detect it or issue a warning.

Warranty for the alarm's entire service life

The manufacturer's warranty covers the carbon monoxide alarm throughout its long service life. This also reflects the quality of the device and its ability to last until the specified expiry date, as guaranteed by the manufacturer.

IP44 protection rating

Gas water heaters are often installed in bathrooms or other damp rooms, where higher demands are placed on a carbon monoxide alarm. This alarm has an IP44 protection rating. It is not waterproof and must be installed in a suitable location in accordance with the instructions. Ventilate the room after bathing or showering, particularly when mirrors are misted over and humidity is very high, because persistently high humidity adversely affects all electronic devices.

The alarm is suitable for ambient temperatures from -10°C to +40°C and relative humidity of 20%–95% RH (non-condensing).

A carbon monoxide alarm saves lives

Where there is a risk of carbon monoxide leakage at home, a carbon monoxide alarm should always be installed. Check the homes of elderly relatives as well and advise them on this issue.

Our range includes dependable carbon monoxide alarms. The Honeywell R200C-1 is an effective, user-friendly alarm designed to provide reliable service for many years. It continuously measures the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air and sounds an alarm if the level of this toxic gas rises to a dangerous concentration or if even a low concentration persists long enough to make it unsafe to remain in the room.

A key advantage of this alarm is its long service life, fully covered by the manufacturer's warranty. It does not require annual battery replacement. The alarm is installed, used for 10 years and then replaced when it indicates the end of its service life. Maintenance consists of occasional cleaning with a vacuum cleaner or soft brush and monthly testing.

Honeywell guarantees the correct operation of a new carbon monoxide alarm until the expiry date marked on the device.

Important: a carbon monoxide alarm does not replace a smoke alarm, or vice versa. Many households need both.
