In multi-level houses, in addition to 3 above, install at least one CO alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install at least one CO alarm on each level of the house. If you have a basement, install a CO alarm at the top of the basement stairs.

Locations to Avoid

Important note

Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms, do not locate CO alarms in the following areas

In garages or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.
Where there is the possibility of smoke or fumes under normal operating circumstances.
3. In poorly ventilated kitchens, garages and furnace rooms. Keep the CO alarms at least 20 feet (6 meters) from potential smoke or fume sources (e.g. stoves, furnaces, water heaters, space heaters) if possible.
In areas where a 20-foot (6-meter) distance from a potential smoke or fume source is not possible. In modular, mobile or smaller houses, it is recommended the CO alarm be placed as far from any potential snorkel or furze sources.
Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.
In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) frown a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity.
In areas where the temperature is colder than 40 °F (4.4 °C) or hotter than 100 °F (37.8 °C). For example, non-air-conditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches and garages.
Where the air is turbulent, such as near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioner vents, fresh air return vents, or open windows. Excessive air flow may prevent any CO from reaching the sensors.
In direct sunlight.

Installation

Installing the battery

Remove the alarm frown the mounting bracket by rotating counterclockwise, then slide open the battery compartment.
Install the 9Valkaline battery. When the battery is installed, the unit will beep once and the red, green and yellow LEDs will fiat in sequence.”-“will be displayed on the screen with a blue backlight. In 1- 2 minutes, the backlight will turn off and the green light will fiat every 60 seconds indicating that the unit is operational.
Reattach the unit to the mounting bracket and secure by rotating clockwise.

Important note
Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce battery life. A good safety measure is to replace the battery at least once a year, or (if applicable) at the same time you change your clocks for daylight saving time. After installing or changing the batteries, reinstall your alarm, and test your alarm by using the test/hush button (see below).

Wall mounting

Draw a horizontal line 6 inches (10 cm) long at the position where this CO alarm is to be located.
Place the mounting bracket in the chosen position. Align the two longest mounting slots with the line and draw a mark in the center of each slot.
Note : When mounting on a wall, make sure that the arrow marked on the bracket is pointing vertically.
Drill holes of 1.1 in (28 mm) or deeper at the marks using a 1/4 in (6 mm) drill bit.
Strike the two plastic plugs into the holes with a hammer and screw the mounting bracket in the chosen position. Do not over-tighten the screws, as this may distort the mounting plate.
Hook the CO alarm onto the keyholes in the back of the mounting plate and turn the alarm clockwise into the mounting bracket until it snaps into place.
Test the unit by pressing the test/hush button. Ensure the unit sounds in an alarm pattern.

Operating Instructions

Testing

Test your alarm by holding the test/hush button until the unit beeps once and the red LED fishes once, then release the test button. The blue backlight will be lit, and the unit will proceed to beep 4 times with the red LED fishing 4 times. After 5 seconds of silence, the unit will beep 4 times with the red LED fishing 4 times again. It is then followed by a single beep and the red LED fishing once. The LCD display will show”. then “PAS “and finally”0”.

Hushing

When the CO alarm is sounding an alarm after a suspected false alarm, you can press the test/hush button and the device will beep intermittently, the blue backlight will be off and the green LED will be lit. The device will resume its normal monitoring status after 4-15 minutes. If the CO level is still at a dangerous level, the alarm will sound again.

CO alarm levels

The X-Sense’s CO03B battery-operated carbon monoxide alarm is programmed to sound an alarm at the following CO concentrations within the time periods listed:
70 ppm for 60-240 minutes, 150 ppm for 10-50 minutes, and 400 ppm for 4-15 minutes.
When CO is detected and the alarm sounds, the CO concentration will be displayed on the LCD and a blue backlight will be lit. The red LED will fiat and the alarm will issue 4 short beeps, repeating the cycle every 5.8 seconds. After 4 minutes, the device will issue 4 short beeps every 1 minute until the alarm condition disappears.

Dangerous concentrations of co detected.| Please refer to “What to Do When the Alarm Sounds”.
| A CO concentration from 30 to 999** ppm outside of a certain time period. Green LED flashes once every 60 seconds.| None| CO detected, but alarm status not reached, potential danger condition.|

Please check for the CO source first
Open your windows and doors and immediately move to an open area of fresh air.

What to Do When the Alarm Sounds

Call emergency services as soon as possible.
Immediately move to an area of fresh air-outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door/window until the emergency services have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm returns to its normal operating condition.
After following steps 1-2 above, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-2 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment that has not been inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

Maintenance

To keep your alarm in good working order, you should adhere to the following steps.

Test the alarm once a week by pressing the test/hush button.
Vacuum the alarm cover once a month to remove any accumulated dust.
Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.
Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the alarm.
Do not paint the unit. Paint may clog the openings to the sensing chamber and prevent the unit from operating properly.

Warning : Do not tamper with the apparatus, as there is a risk of electric shock or malfunction.
Battery replacement

Remove the old battery and replace with a 9 V alkaline battery (The Golden Power GL6F22A alkaline battery is recommended) when the LCD displays an “Lb” icon and the yellow LED blinks once every 60 seconds with the buzzer chirping. After changing the battery, reinstall your alarm, and test your alarm by pressing the test/hush button.

NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are not recommended for use with this device.

Limitations of CO Alarms

CO alarms may not wake up all individuals. If children or others do not readily awaken to the sound of the CO alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations, make sure that someone assists them in the event of an emergency.
This CO alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not reach the sensor. This CO alarm will only detect CO that reaches the sensor. CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches the CO alarm. For this reason, if bedroom doors are usually closed at night, it is recommended that you install a CO alarm in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.
CO alarms may not sense CO on another level of the house. For example, a CO alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms, may not sense CO in the basement. For this reason, one CO alarm may not give an adequate warning. Complete coverage is recommended by placing CO alarms on each level of the house.
CO alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn intensity meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at a distance of 3.28 feet (1 meter). However, if the CO alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may not awaken a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcohol. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partially open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereos, radios, televisions, air conditioners, or other appliances may even prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This CO alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
CO alarms are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a source of CO, this CO alarm does not sense smoke or fire. This CO alarm senses CO that may be escaping unnoticed from malfunctioning furnaces, appliances, or other possible sources of incomplete combustion. The installation of a smoke alarm is required for an early warning of fire.
CO alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these CO alarms warn against increasing CO levels, we do not warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.
CO alarms have a limited life. Although the CO alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you are strongly recommended to test your CO alarm weekly.
CO alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO alarms have limitations. They can only detect CO that reaches their sensors. They may not give early warning of rising CO levels if the CO is coming from a remote part of the house, or is at some distance from the CO alarm.
