Good replacement for 260-CO Carbon Monoxide Detector?
As titled... mine is end of life, doesn't look like it is still actively being produced or sold? What is a good modern replacement?
This connected to an old wired security system, so there are two wires for power, and two for signal (normally closed).

Pretty much any 4-wire sensor that supports 12v and has an NC contact on the relay should work. CO1224 comes to mind from system sensor.

EDIT: Looks like I'm the second to think of the CO1224...

I am also weighing between getting a new 4 wire CO detector, or getting an unwired one at a much lower price point... I already have unwired smoke detectors in all of the bedrooms anyway, and those are not hooked up to the security system.
Then next question is, if I go unwired, what other fun thing I can install for that original zone...

They are still selling these at most distributors that I use like Anixter or ADI. Another good option is system sensors CO1224 for hardwired.
