What You Need to Know About CO
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fetal. The build-up of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level and interferes with the bod/s ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, co can kill in minutes. The most common sources of co are malfunctioning gas appliance used for heating and cooking, vehicles running in an attached garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an enclosed space.
Indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger
of CO, but experts agree that unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are at the highest risk for serious injury or death. Every year a qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney, and flues.
The below levels of exposure relate to healthy adults.

Concentration of co in Air (ppm)| Inhalation Time (approx.) and Symptoms Developed
---|---
35| The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure in any 8 hour period according to OSHA*
150| Slight headache after 1.5 hours.
200| Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea after 2-3 hours.
400| Frontal headaches within 1-2 hours, life-threatening after3 hours also maximum parts per million in flue gas (on free air basis) according to us Environmental Protection Agency.
800| Dizziness, nausea and convulsions within 45 minutes.
Unconsciousness within 2hours. Death within 2-3 hours.
1600| Headache, dizziness and nausea within 20 minutes. Death within 1 hour.
3200| Headache, dizziness and nausea within 5-1 O minutes.
Death within 25-30 minutes.
6400| Headache, dizziness and nausea within 1-2 minutes.
Death within 10-15 minutes.
12800| Death within 1-3 minutes.
The following symptoms may be related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:

Mild exposure: Headaches, running nose, sore eyes, often described as “flu- like” symptoms.
Medium exposure: Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting;
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, brain damage, death.
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well. they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.

Installation Instructions

Where to install
Recommended Installation Locations co alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas. It is recommended that you install a co alarm on each level of your home.
When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one CO alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.

When wall mounting, place out of reach of children. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
Placing the alarm at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the digital display.
WARNING: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarms are not smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is not a substitute for installing and maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your home.

WARNING: This carbon monoxide alarm will not sense smoke, fire, or any poisonous gas other than carbon monoxide even though carbon monoxide can be generated by fire. For this reason you must install smoke alarms to provide early warning of fire and to protect you and your family from fire and its related hazards.

Locations to Avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components.
To avoid causing damage to the unit, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:

Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 0°c or hotter than 40°C such as crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages.
Do not install within l.Sm. of heating or cooking appliances. ( recommends 3m. to prevent nuisance alarms).
Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air ventilation openings.
Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.
Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.
Do not place the alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air to the vents.

Mounting Bracket Installation

Screwless mounting

Removed off the mounting bracket from the alarm.
Put the bracket on the installation position and mark the screw holes on the ceiling or the wall.

Screw the mounting bracket to the wall (Refer to figure 4).
Attach the alarm to the mounting bracket.

Screwless mounting
As an alternative to screw mounting, you can use the supplied mounting pad.

Remove the protective layer on one side of the mounting pad and stick it to the mounting bracket.
Remove the protective layer on the other side of the mounting pad and stick the pad where you want to mount the co detector.
To place on a shelf : The base of the detector has been designed to allow it to stand freely on a shelf.
WARNING: The installation instructions must be followed strictly in case of any injury. the device should be installed by a competent person;
WARNING: CO Alarm should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.

The problems listed above are under normal operating conditions. Other “Err” conditions could exist. If you should have any questions regarding display conditions, call our Consumer Hotline.

Silence Mode

During the unit is alarming, you can push the test button, it will be paused the unit alarming for approx 1 O minutes. The red LED will flash once every 8 seconds, it indicates the CO alarm device is running into the silence mode. The silence feature is to be used only when a known alarm condition, such as CO activates the alarm. The CO alarm device will automatically reset after approximately 10 minutes, if after this period, particles of combustion are still present, the alarm will sound again.
WARNING: Before using the alarm silence (silence), identify the source of the CO and be certain a safe condition exists. if there is any question as to the cause of an alarm it should be assumed that the alarm is due to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and the dwelling should be evacuated.
WARNING: If use remoter to silence the alarm only be used in line of sight of the CO alarm.

What To Do When the CO Alarm Sounds
WARNING: Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU. If an alarm signal sounds:

Operate reset/ Silence button (only operational at concentrations <250ppm)
Call your local Fire Department or 911
Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door/ window. Do a head count to ensure that all persons are accounted for. DO NOT re-enter the premises until the first res ponders have arrived, the premises have been aired out and your Alarm returns to its normal condition.

After following steps 1-3, if your Alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of
this equipment.
Note: When ventilation is provided by leaving the window and doors open, the CO build up may have dissipated by the time help arrives and the Alarm may have stopped sounding.
Although your problem may appear temporarily solved it is crucial that the source of the CO is determined and appropriate repairs made.

How to create the interlinked network
Radio-interlinked co detectors are interlinked through radio-frequency signals. If one co alarm detects fire, all alarms go off. In the case of the battery operated radio-interlinked co alarms, no wiring is required at all.
Step 1: Press the test/silence button on one of these co alarms 4 times, and the green LED will rapidly flash continuously, indicating it has entered the transmitting mode (valid time: 60 seconds).
Step 2: Press the test/silence button on the other co alarms twice, and the green LED will slowly flash continuously, indicating it has entered the receiving mode.
—–If pairing is successful: The green LED of these alarms will stop flashing.
—–When it is failure: The green light will continue to flash for 60 seconds, and then the red light will stay on for 2 seconds.

How to disable the interconnect function

Press the test/silence button on the CO alarms twice and the green LED will slowly flash continuously for still 60 seconds, then ignore it and it will automatically despair.

Maintenance and Cleaning

There are a few simple steps you need do to keep it working properly.

Test the alarm once a week.
Do not paint the alarm. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect the co gas.
Never attempt to disassemble the alarm to clean inside or repair it. Any attempt to do so may cause malfunction and will invalidate the warranty.
Never use cleaning solutions on your detector. Simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, or debris.
Some materials, vapors or gases, can affect the reliability of the alarms in the short or long term. The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the sensor or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings:
- Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, isopropanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide.
- Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products, paint, thinner, solvent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold start) and some cleaning agents.
  WARNING: For the model which used lithium battery (included).
  the battery service life over 1 o years, no need to replace the battery. The battery is sealed in cover and not replaceable, DO NOT TRY TO REPLACE THE BATTERY.
  WARNING: After Ten (1 O) years from initial power up, this alarm will “beep” two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not detect co in this condition.
