Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions A family member can usually set this up in about 30 minutes using the instructions. It needs mounting, pairing with a separate receiver, and testing, so it isn't ready to use straight out of the box. It doesn't need a professional, but the alert must be tested carefully because it's a safety device.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This is a smoke and carbon monoxide detector with an audio transmitter built in. When the detector's alarm sounds, the transmitter hears it and sends a wireless signal to a compatible Central Alert receiver, such as the CA-360, CA-380, CA-PX, or CA-RX, so you get a visual or vibrating alert instead of relying on sound alone. It's a good fit if you can't hear a standard alarm, especially while asleep. It recognizes the T3 and T4 alarm patterns as well as traditional alarm sounds, reaches up to 200 feet in open space, and has a sealed 10-year lithium battery. The detector doesn't alert you on its own, so you'll need one of the compatible Central Alert units to receive the signal.
