low voltage smoke/carbon monoxide combo? open original image

The state of MN knows what's best for us, so they're requiring carbon monoxide in all bedrooms now (new construction only at this point). I've got 4 wire red jacket going to each bedroom now for low voltage smokes. Has anyone seen a low voltage combo unit? Would really suck to have two detectors hanging on the ceiling.



Thanks!



sounds goofy since co detectors (iirc) cover a much larger area than smokes do.

Does sound goofy, especially since the home owner will be dead before the = CO gets to the detector.

Agreed. Here's a link to the PDF with the new code:

Says they will have to be within 10 feet of each room lawfuly used for sleeping purposes.

I've seen plenty of battery and hardwired (120v) combos, but no low voltage.

Oh well.

Oh, and another choice quote from the memo:

"The requirements of this section do not apply to facilities owned or operated by the state of Minnesota"

Do as I say, not as I do...
