Material analysis of the X-Sense SC01 confirms a standalone hybrid safety configuration that lacks integrated wireless communication protocols. The detection engine is powered by a sealed 10-year lithium battery, providing long-term power to a dual-sensor array consisting of an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor and a photoelectric smoke sensor. An integrated LCD provides real-time parts-per-million (PPM) CO monitoring, offering visual data output directly on the device chassis.
Performance metrics indicate the photoelectric sensor is calibrated for smoldering fire detection, which typically occurs in household upholstery. The electrochemical sensor is the industry standard for stable CO monitoring over a decade-long service life. Because the unit is not interconnected, its 85dB alarm signal is localized to the room of installation. The chassis is non-serviceable, requiring total unit replacement once the internal power cell is depleted.
Operational guidelines specify that mounting height is a critical variable for detection efficiency. Since smoke rises and CO mixes evenly with air, a ceiling-adjacent mounting position is required to ensure the photoelectric chamber receives rising particulates within established safety margins. This unit operates independently of cloud services, smart hubs, or home networks.
For installations where localized monitoring is sufficient and cloud dependency is not desired, the X-Sense Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Combo provides a simplified hardware solution.
This device is cataloged under smart smoke and CO alarms despite its lack of connectivity, serving as a baseline for non-networked safety standards.
