Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detection
Each alarm monitors for two separate household hazards:
-
Smoke from a potential fire
-
Carbon monoxide from a potential CO source
First Alert identifies the SMCO210 as a combination photoelectric smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. The photoelectric smoke sensor is designed to respond to smoke while helping reduce nuisance alarms. First Alert product information
Carbon monoxide is colorless and odorless. Alarm placement, regular testing, and timely replacement remain essential to proper protection.
Advanced Precision Detection
First Alert’s Precision Detection technology is designed to meet newer smoke-alarm performance requirements, including improved detection of common residential fire types and reduced nuisance alarms associated with cooking.
The SMCO210 is listed as meeting:
-
UL 217 8th Edition for smoke alarms
-
UL 2034 4th Edition for carbon monoxide alarms
Sealed 10-Year Battery
Each alarm includes a built-in sealed battery designed to power the unit for its rated 10-year service life. No separate replacement batteries are required.
The battery is not removable or replaceable. When the alarm reaches the end of its service life or activates its end-of-life warning, replace the entire unit.
First Alert’s support information identifies the SMCO210 as a combination photoelectric smoke and CO alarm with a 10-year sealed battery. First Alert 10-year battery alarm guidance
Simple Battery-Powered Installation
Because the alarms do not require 120 V AC wiring, installation consists of mounting each bracket in an approved location and attaching the alarm according to the owner’s manual.
These are standalone battery-powered alarms. Hardwired power, AC battery backup, and interconnection are not specified for the SMCO210.

Why It Stands Out
This three-alarm package combines smoke and carbon monoxide detection in each unit, reducing the need to install two separate alarms in the same approved location. Its sealed 10-year battery eliminates routine battery changes, while the end-of-life warning indicates when complete alarm replacement is required.
The battery-powered design also simplifies installation because it does not require connection to household electrical wiring.
Installation and Safety
-
Read the owner’s manual completely before installation.
-
Install alarms only in approved wall or ceiling locations.
-
Follow all applicable local fire, building, and CO-alarm requirements.
-
Activate each alarm according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Record the installation and replacement dates.
-
If a smoke alarm sounds, follow your household escape plan and contact emergency services.

-
Smoke and CO alarms help reduce risk but cannot prevent every incident or guarantee escape.
