Part One – Your Nighthawk CO Alarm

About Your CO Alarm

The number one feature that sets Nighthawk apart from other alarms is its unique digital display that gives you a continuous read- out of CO levels from 30-999 parts per million. The digital display serves as an early warning of CO presence. Additionally, the digital display gives you added time to find the source of the CO and correct the problem, limiting the risk of unrecognized long term exposure. Of course, the loud 85 decibel alarm warns of higher lev- els, even while you’re sleeping.

While many other CO alarms require costly sensor or battery pack replacement, there are no replacement parts on Nighthawk CO alarms. And Nighthawk is the only CO alarm that gives you the choice of a direct-plug, a 6' power cord or a hardwire unit. Depending on how or where you wish to mount your alarm, you can get exactly what you need for a perfect application. These are just a few reasons over 4.5 million families have chosen Nighthawk over every other brand for this kind of life-saving protection.
