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

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 BESTAREAS TO INSTALLYOUR COALARM:
- 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.

- Install as High as possible as CO rises when mixed with heat.
- You can fit on a wall but as high as possible.
Siting of CO alarms
AREAS WHERE NOT TO INSTALL CO ALARMS:
- In an enclosed space (for example in a cupboard or behind a curtain).
- Where it can be obstructed (for example by
- 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 7).
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.
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.
OTHER INFORMATION:
Do not paint the alarm.
Disposal: Please dispose the product properly at the end of life. This is
