Tools and Hardware Reviews of Safety Siren Combination Gas Detector Model HS80504
Customer Review: Not compliant with any current UL safety standard
Summary: 1 Stars
I was disappointed to find that this U.S. manufacturer is actually
selling gas alarms that don't address current safety standards.
Specifically, I found that the product manual does not say it is
UL-listed for any relevant Underwriters Laboratories standards, and
when I checked the UL product database I could not find listings for
this product for either explosive gas (UL 1484) or carbon monoxide (UL
2034).
In the case of explosive gas (UL 1484), this product is not UL-listed
though it appears to be compliant in the loose sense that it alarms at
the standard set point of 25% LEL. While other products in this
product line are UL-listed, this one is not, suggesting that the
manufacturer simply doesn't care enough to pay for the appropriate
testing/listing for all of their products.
In the case of carbon monoxide (UL 2034), this product is not
UL-listed and indeed has definitely NOT been compliant with UL
standards for over a decade. The original standard (UL 2034-1992)
specified CO alarm set points at 100ppm(90min), 200ppm(35min), and
400ppm(15min) and these are indeed the alarm points listed in the
product manual (which is dated 1996). In 1998, UL updated the CO
alarm set points to 70ppm(240min), 150ppm(50min), and 400ppm(15min).
But the manual says quite clearly: "This detector has not been
investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 100ppm."
Given the note about calibration that is also contained in the product
manual ("CO sensor calibrated at 200ppm CO specific to avoid false
alarms") one gets the sense that this is a product for people who care
about buying products that won't wake them up with false alarms as
opposed to people who care about safety standards of the current
century. The similar Kidde and First Alert products are UL-listed and
people complain about more false alarms. You pays your money and you
takes your choice.
