How Carbon Monoxide can affect you

Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for full details on the symptoms associated with increasing degrees of exposure to Carbon Monoxide.
DANGER: Never ignore any alarm, further exposure can be fatal.
Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of Carbon Monoxide poisoning (e.g. headaches or nausea).
Contact your Gas supplier on their emergency number.
Do not use the appliance again until it has been checked by a Gas Safe qualified engineer.

Positioning

Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms should beinstalled inevery room containing a fuel- burning appliance and every sleeping room. When fitting in the same room as a fuel burning appliance the alarm should be at a horizontal distance between 1 and 3m from the potential source, if the room has a sloped ceiling it should be at the high side of the room. If the alarm is wall mounted it should be at least 150mm below the ceiling and at a height greater than any door or window. If the alarm is ceiling mounted it should be at least 300mm away from any wall or light fitting. If fitted in sleeping rooms the alarm should be located close to the breathing zone of the occupants.
Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for more information on positioning.

Normal Operation

The green power light will flash once every 60 seconds to indicate normal operation.

Alarm Condition

If Carbon Monoxide is detected the unit will repeatedly sound 4 loud beeps and the red CO light will flash once every 5 seconds.
Keep calm, turn off all fuel-burning appliances and open the doors and windows and evacuate the property.

Do not re-enter the building until the alarm has stopped.

Sleep Easy Feature

Low battery warnings often start when it is inconvenient to replace the alarm. You can silence the audible low battery chirp for a period of 8 hours by pressing the Test/ button. After this period the audible chirp will start again. This process can be repeated up to 10 times. The alarm will still detect CO during this time, however it must be replaced within 30 days.

Fault Condition
If the unit chirps every 60 seconds and the yellow warning light flashes 20-25 seconds after, this indicates a fault with the CO alarm and it should be replaced immediately.

Out of Range Notification (Reach IP/NOVO)

The Reach IP/NOVO can monitor all radio peripheral devices to determine whether they have been damaged or removed from an installation. Should the Reach IP/NOVO be unable to detect a device’s heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range” notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genuine reason for the alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced immediately. The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30 hours to 99999 hours in CMP. “Radio supervision” can be disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each peripheral device in CMP.

Maintenance

Test the CO alarm once every month.
Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted with the soft brush attachment. Do not use solvents or cleaners on the CO alarm, the unit can be wiped with a damp cloth.

Disposal

Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal household waste. The CO alarm is ideally suited for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.

Warning

The CO alarm contains a powerful Lithium battery. If tampered with the battery may be damaged and create a fire hazard. No attempt should be made to open the case or remove the battery.
Do not incinerate.
