Carbon monoxide monitor reset?

One more thought - Some CO detectors have a feature to tell you when they have passed their useful life (5-7 years), usually by chirping. If your "malfunction" is with a detector that has been around a while, perhaps it is this lifetime warning that is happening, and it is telling you it is time to be replaced.
 
Fwiw, I was curious what happens to oxygen levels when two people are in a confined space with limited ventilation for an extended period so I purchased a Honey well 02 detector. Workers in confined spaces where the environment is subject to low oxygen levels use this unit. The detector is only good for 2 years and it is not cheap but I figure for my own piece of mind that it was worth the investment; I only plan to buy one unless I get many alerts.

So far, we have only had one alert, when I buried the unit in the bedding and even then, the 02 level was only marginally below the alarm’s threshold setting.
 
I'm pretty aware of the dangers of CO poisoning. Back when I was a physical therapy student in the 70's, I had an unfortunate patient who lost his wife, another couple and his mind in a camper due to some malfunction. I'll never forget him. When we disable our monitor, you can bet we will have a portable one inside with us.
Thanks, Rotus, for pointing out the dangers. It's real.
 
So, what kind of gadget might one want to connect to those wires that had gone to the CO monitor, once they have been cut, which they have, thank you very much?

My cat is crazier than your cat. ;-)

We let our battery go down too far to be able to charge it with the plug in the garage. After a call to Camp-Inn, I plugged it to the car and got it recharged enough for the plug to take over and finish the job.
The CO monitor keeps going off now. Is there a reset procedure, other than pushing the button?

I have a new 560 with the furness and no electronic CO detector. The simple solution is a visual detector, CO poisoning is slow process and just the presence of the contaminate in the air is fair warning.

I use a simple replaceable detector, commonly used in aircraft QUANTUM EYE® LONG LIFE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR from Aircraft Spruce

I plan to just put a fresh one in every Fall before cold weather camping. Just a suggestion to get rid of the Beeps....!
