Information about carbon monoxide:
CO – Carbon monoxide – is known as the “silent killer” because it is odorless, tasteless and colorless. 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.

THE BEST AREAS TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM:

• Ideally, an apparatus should be installed in every room containing a fuel-burning appliance.

• Near bedrooms and living areas.

• On each level of your home.

• 1 to 3 meter away from all fuel burning appliances.

• At eye level to allow optimum monitoring of the indicator lights.

• Where it can be obstructed (for example by furniture).
• Directly above a sink.
• Next to a door or window.
• Next to an extractor fan.
• Next to an air vent or other similar ventilation openings.
• In an area where the temperature may drop below -10 °C or exceed 40 °C.

• Where dirt and dust may block the sensor.
• In a damp or humid location.• In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance.

PLACEMENT:

The CO alarm is designed to be installed on the wall or a ceiling.

INSTALLING YOUR CO ALARM:

CAUTION: This alarm should be installed by a competent person.
The installation of this device should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.

It does not replace a smoke alarm.
Installation with screw and plug:
Detach the alarm from the mounting base by twisting counter clockwise.
Use the mounting base to mark up horizontally the screw holes on the wall.

Please note: The label in the product must not be removed as it contains important information regarding the product.

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 sounder 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.

WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS:

• Keep calm and open all doors and windows.
• If the alarm continues to be activated, then evacuate the premises.
• Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Call the appropriate emergency central

HUSH FUNCTION:

Hush of the alarm is only possible under a level of 200ppm. If you cannot hush the alarm, please refer to section 9.
When the alarm is under CO alarm warning, it can be silenced for about 10 minutes by pressing the TEST/HUSH button.
When battery fault the indication can also be silenced for up to 8 hours by a short press on the TEST/HUSH button. This function can only be carried out once during a fault.

FAULT WARNINGS:

Battery fault: Battery low condition is indicated by a very short tone burst “beep” every 60 seconds with yellow LED flashing. Your CO alarm battery is low voltage.
Sensor fault: Sensor fault is indicated by two very short tone burst “beeps” every 60 seconds with yellow LED flashing. Your CO alarm will not respond to CO.
End of life: End of sensor life is indicated by three very short tone burst “beeps” every 60 seconds with yellow LED flashing. Your CO alarm needs to be replaced.

MAINTENANCE:

• Check if the alarm sounds and indicators flash properly by pressing TEST/HUSH button at least once per quarter.
• Your alarm should be vacuum cleaned once per
• quarter to remove dust and dirt. It can be wiped with a damped cloth. Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
• Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside.
• Commonly occurring materials, vapors or gases, e.g. in cleaning fluids, polishes, paints, cooking operations, etc., may affect the reliability of the alarm in the short or long term.
• When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
