Macurco 70-0715-1778-6 Carbon Monoxide Detector

Product Description

The MACURCO 70-0715-1778-6 is a carbon monoxide detector designed to monitor CO gas levels in occupied spaces and trigger an alarm when dangerous concentrations are detected. Known by its model designation CME1, this unit belongs to MACURCO's line of fixed-position gas detection devices. It provides continuous monitoring as a passive safety device, alerting occupants and technicians to the presence of CO before concentrations reach life-threatening levels. Licensed HVAC technicians, electricians, and building maintenance professionals typically specify and install this type of detector in residential and light commercial applications where combustion appliances are present.

The CME1 is suited for residential and light commercial environments where gas-fired appliances, boilers, furnaces, water heaters, or other combustion equipment operate. It is installed in living spaces, utility rooms, and mechanical areas to provide code-required or voluntarily added CO monitoring. Building inspectors, HVAC contractors, and electrical trades commonly encounter this category of detector on retrofit and new-construction projects where local codes mandate CO detection near sleeping areas or fuel-burning appliances.

Key Features

• Continuous carbon monoxide gas monitoring for occupied residential and light commercial spaces
• Fixed-position detector provides passive, always-on CO detection without manual sampling
• Compact single-unit form factor sold individually, simplifying single-zone installations
• Designed for use near combustion appliances including furnaces, boilers, and water heaters

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed CO detector for residential and light commercial installations requiring carbon monoxide monitoring near combustion appliances.

Installation Notes

Carbon monoxide detectors of this type are installed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians following local building codes and manufacturer placement guidelines. Power down the circuit at the breaker before making any wiring connections. Follow local building and fire codes, including IRC and NFPA 720, for required placement locations relative to sleeping areas and fuel-burning appliances. Do not install in areas with excessive humidity, direct airflow from supply registers, or locations that could obstruct sensor intake.
