Information about carbon monoxide:
CO – Carbon monoxide – is known as the “silent killer” because it is
odourless, tasteless and colourless. It can kill in few minutes. This
apparatus may not prevent the chronic effects of Carbon Monoxide exposure.
All people are at risk for CO poisoning. Unborn babies, infants, the elderly,
and people with chronic heart disease, anemia, or respiratory problems are
generally more at risk than others.
The apparatus will not fully safeguard individuals at special risks
Breathing CO can cause headache, dizziness, vomiting, and nausea. If CO levels
are high enough, you may become unconscious or die.

TEST FUNCTION
After installation and at least once per quarter, test your alarm to make sure
it is operating correctly. It is recommended to check visually every week if
the green LED flashes correctly (every minute)
When the top button is pressed the alarm sound-er will sound, and when the
button is released, the alarm will make a self-test of the sensor and battery
for approximately 9 seconds. During this delay the three LEDs will be flashed
in sequence. The result of the test will be indicated after the test has been
completed.
If the test passes, the green LED will emit for 3 sec. If the test fails, a
fault indication will be given (See section 11).
After the test function is performed, the alarm will need to recover for one
minute before the next test can be done (to allow the sensor chamber to re-
settle after the test current is applied).
The alarm will also do a self-test every 24 hour and test the sensor for
faulty sensor, drift or short circuit.
TIP: It is safe to cover the sound output hole with your finger during
the testing to minimize the sound level emitted.
NORMAL MODE:
In normal mode, POWER indicator (Green LED) will flash every 60 seconds
ALARM MODE:
When a dangerous concentration of CO is detected , the CO alarm will go into
‘Alarm Mode’. It will be indicated by a series of repeated tones and the red
LED will flash every 0.5 second.
