Turning off carbon monoxide detector.
Is there a way to disconnect or turn off the carbon monoxide detector without cutting the power to the entire unit?

Last year at Nascar, my CO detector alarrmed...turned out the guy next to me was using a generator without a gen-turi and the CO was entering my rig.
Last weekend, I was installing a dimmer switch for my awning LED strip lights. It was being installed behind a panel next to my 120VAC breakers. The compartment in question is below the fridge, with no access doors, and in addition to lots of wiring and my converter, the backside of the LP detector is also there. I had used liquid electrical tape on the backside of the circuit board of the dimmer, inside this area. The fumes from it set off the LP detector!
At least I know both units are working!
BTW, my smoke detector and my CO detector are each powered by 9V batteries; my LP detector is hardwired into the RV (12vdc), and it turns off with the battery main switch. I, too, am not a fan of combination units.
