Smart Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Gas Leak Detector

The JKD-815COM-W provides dual protection against carbon monoxide (CO) and flammable gases (such as methane and propane-butane (LPG)), designed to provide timely protection against flammable gas leaks and CO. With built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, the device allows you to monitor gas and CO levels in real time via a mobile app.

Connects directly to a 220V outlet using the power cable.

Key Features of the JKD-815COM-W

• Wi-Fi connectivity and app: Receive instant notifications on your phone, wherever you are
• Electrochemical sensors: Reliable and certified to BDS/EN/ISO 50291-1, 50194-1
• LCD Display: Displays the exact CO concentration in ppm (parts per million)
• Modern design and compact size
• Power supply: Operates on 100–240 V AC for reliable and continuous protection
• Alarms: Audible (≥85 dB) and visual alarms

Where should you use a carbon monoxide (CO) and gas leak detector?

• Kitchens: Detects natural gas leaks from stovetops and gas ranges
• Boiler rooms: Ensures safety when using gas for heating
• Garages: Protects against gas buildup when engines or gas appliances are running
• Other roomswith gas appliances: Suitable for restaurants, hotels, workshops, and storage areas

How do smart detectors with Wi-Fi functionality work?

Detectors with Wi-Fi functionality offer a whole new level of protection and convenience. They connect easily to mobile apps such as “Tuya Smart” and “Smart Life,” enabling centralized control and constant access to information about the status of your home.

Why choose smart detectors with Wi-Fi capability?

1. Centralized control:

   • You can monitor levels of carbon monoxide, smoke, or other potentially hazardous gases from anywhere with an internet connection.
   • The app provides a centralized platform from which to control all the devices in your home.

2. Real-time alerts:
   If a hazard is detected, such as an elevated level of flammable gas, you’ll receive an immediate notification on your phone. This is extremely useful if you’re often away from home or want extra peace of mind.

Can I easily silence the alarm?

Yes, you can silence the alarm on any detector for 10 minutes by pressing the TEST button. This is enough time to check all rooms for the hazard.

About Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a dangerous, highly toxic gas that is odorless and colorless. It is released during various chemical processes. In the home, the danger most often stems from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons. Sources include all types of heating appliances that use combustion: gas appliances, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, and solid-fuel or gas water heaters. Other sources of carbon monoxide include vehicle exhaust and cigarette smoke.

Incomplete combustion most often occurs when oxygen is restricted to prolong burning—a common practice used to increase heat output from a stove at night. Switching the stove to “smoldering” mode carries the risk of incomplete combustion, during which this dangerous and highly toxic gas begins to be released. Since it is odorless and colorless, a person cannot detect its presence! Upon exposure to low to moderate concentrations of carbon monoxide, a person initially experiences headaches and dizziness. With prolonged exposure or exposure to very high concentrations—even for a short time—there is a risk of death. The greatest risk occurs during sleep, as the first signs of carbon monoxide poisoning will go unnoticed.

Why Is It So Toxic?

When inhaled, carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin in the blood—the primary compound responsible for transporting oxygen in the human body—thereby reducing the amount of oxygen circulating in the body.

For the Curious

Carbon monoxide converts hemoglobin into carboxyhemoglobin, causing hypoxia. The chemical bond between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin is 230 times stronger than that between hemoglobin and oxygen, which is why hemoglobin converted to carboxyhemoglobin remains in that state permanently. Exposure to CO concentrations above 700 ppm (parts per million) converts 50% of hemoglobin into carboxyhemoglobin. This leads to severe or fatal consequences from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide is produced by:

• Wood, coal, or liquid fuel (kerosene) stoves
• Gas stoves, cooktops, and heaters
• Blocked flues and chimneys
• Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines
• Barbecues

About Combustible Gases

Flammable gases such as methane (CH4), propane (C3H8), and butane (C4H10) are widely used for heating, cooking, and industrial processes. Despite their usefulness, these gases pose a serious hazard in the event of a leak, as they are highly flammable and can cause explosions upon contact with an open flame or electrical sparks.

Why are gas leaks so dangerous?

• Risk of explosion: The buildup of flammable gas in an enclosed space can lead to a sudden explosion.
• Suffocation: High concentrations of gas displace oxygen, which can cause a lack of air.
• Odorless in some leaks: Although natural gas usually has an odorizer added (a rotten-egg smell), some leaks may go unnoticed.
• Rapid spread: Gas is light and can easily spread throughout a room, reaching ignition sources.

JKD-815COM-W Support

Gas detectors are factory-calibrated during manufacturing and do not require periodic calibration throughout their lifetime.

Recommended Maintenance:

1. Cleaning: Clean the housing to ensure that dirt or dust does not block access to the sensor. Depending on the environment, cleaning should be performed once a month to once a week (for very dusty environments);
2. Power supply check: Check the power supply to ensure trouble-free operation.

Other than what is mentioned above, the detector requires no other maintenance.
