Aroha Safety Pro CO Detector user manual

Please read the manual carefully to ensure safe, proper use and store it in a safe place for future reference. Scan the QR-code or visit www.aroha.nl/manual for the step-by-step instructions with video to safely install your detector and consult the FAQ.

A. Activate/Deactivate the detector

The device is deactivated by default before leaving our factory.
Before the detector can be used, it must be activated.

Power on: Set the switch on the back of the detector to “ON” using the supplied stick. The detector beeps and the LCD screen lights up blue, after which the value increases from 000 to 999. When the screen is at 0 ppm, the detector is activated.
Power off: Set the switch on the back of the detector to “OFF” using the supplied stick.

Why is the value 0 ppm? The default value is 0 ppm, because the natural carbon monoxide (CO) in the air is approximately 0.2 ppm, which is rounded to 0 ppm. The display always shows the real-time value of the amount of CO, but in a “normal” situation this is 0 ppm.

• The installation instructions must be followed strictly to avoid unsafe conditions.
• Do not paint your detector.
• The battery cannot be replaced; do not try to replace the battery as this will render the detector unusable and can cause a fire due to the high-capacity lithium battery.
• CO detectors are not smoke detectors. This CO detector is not a substitute for installing and maintaining an appropriate number of smoke detectors in your home.

B. Test your alarm

Test the detector to ensure proper operation by pressing the test button. The alarm will sound if the detector is working well. If there is no sound, refer to the “Trouble shooting” section.

• DO NOT test your detector using an open flame. This may damage the detector or ignite combustible materials and start a structural fire.
• DO NOT stand close to the detector when the alarm is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to your ears.
• Test the detector at least once a month.
  

C. LED indicators

seconds.
Silence mode:| Red LED flashes once every 8 seconds.
Low battery status:| Orange LED flashes 1 time and 1 beep every 60 seconds.
Fault status:| Orange LED flashes 2 times and 2 beeps every 40 seconds.
End of life:| Orange LED flashes 2 times and 2 beeps every 30 seconds.

D. Alarm

If an alarm signal sounds, immediately move to fresh air and do not re-enter the premises until it has been aired out and your alarm returns to its normal condition. Investigate the source of the CO release and repair the defect

When does the alarm sound?

50 ppm: Alarm between 60 to 90 minutes

100 ppm: Alarm between 10 and 40 minutes

300 ppm: Alarm within 3 minutes

NEVER IGNORE ANY ALARM, carbon monoxide can be deadly.

E. Silence mode

Silence mode should only be used if the source of the alarm is known and safe. Press the test button to set the silence mode. During silence mode, the red LED light flashes once every 8 seconds. The detector is automatically reset after 10 minutes.

Before using the silence mode, identify the source and be certain a safe condition exists.

F. Mount the detector

Determine correct mounting location: Detectors should be installed in a room with a combustion appliance (possible source of CO).

• At a horizontal distance between 1-3 meters from the CO source.
• OR, in rooms without combustion appliance place the detector on breathing height.
• Central location in the room, at least 30 centimeters from walls.
• Avoid existing air inlets or outlets and other objects on the ceiling.
• Avoid locations behind objects such as curtains and cupboards

Mounting instructions: Use sticky pads or screws to mount the detector, or place the detector in the desired location without permanently mounting it.

G. Maintenance and cleaning

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

• Test the detector at least once a month.
• Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect CO.
• Never attempt to disassemble the detector to clean inside. This will damage the detector and possibly render it unusable.
• Clean the detector at least once a month to remove dust, dirt or debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides and covers of the detector.
• Some materials, vapours or gases, can affect the reliability of the alarms in the short or long term.
  Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide and sulfur dioxide are substances that at high levels can damage the sensor or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings. Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol based products, paint, thinner, solvent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold start) and some cleaning agents

H. Trouble shooting

• The detector does not sound when testing: Check whether the detector is activated.
• The detector beeps every 60 seconds and red LED flashes: The battery is low; the detector needs to be replaced. Contact us on contact@aroha.nl to replace it if the warranty is still in place.
• The detector beeps every 40 seconds and orange LED flashes: Clean the detector, by using a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush and vacuum all sides and covers of the detector. If the issue continues, the detector is malfunctioning. Contact us on contact@aroha.nl to replace it if the warranty is still in place.
• The detector beeps every 30 seconds and orange LED flashes: The detector is no longer working properly and needs to be replaced. Contact us on contact@aroha.nl to replace it if the warranty is still in place.
