4002-008 Carbon Monoxide Alarm Device
Carbon monoxide alarm device Commercial reference : 4002-008
Developed by CAVIUS
This Cavius carbon monoxide (CO) alarm is designed and tested to detect CO in private homes, camping trailers, mobile homes and caravans. It will provide early warning of the presence of CO.
PLEASE READ THE USER GUIDE CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLATION AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE USE.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
The device comes with a 3V lithium battery. Batteries are to be handled
with care and battery powered devices should be kept out of reach of
children. Do not try to recharge or burn the batteries.
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 999
HUSH FUNCTION:
Hush of the alarm is only possible under a level of 200ppm. If you cannot hush
the alarm, please refer to section 4.
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

replaced.
