Instructions, video & 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.

CAUTION

• 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 unuseable 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

CAUTION

• 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

Normal status: Green LED flashes once every 60 seconds
Danger CO concentration: Red LED flashes 4 times and beeps 4 times every 5 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

CAUTION

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

CAUTION

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

F. Connect detector to your mobile phone

Step 1: A 2.4 GHz WiFi network is required to connect. If your network broadcasts on both 2.4 and 5 GHz, disable 5 GHz during the pairing process (as per your router manual).
Step 2 : Install the Tuya Smart- or Smart Life-app on your smartphone by scanning the QR-code on the right.
Step 3 : Enable Bluetooth via settings on your phone. The app also needs permission to use Bluetooth.

Step 4 : Activate pairing mode by pressing the test button 4 times within 1 second. If this is done correctly, the red LED light will flash rapidly. After a few seconds this will change to a green LED that flashes rapidly for 1 minute. Within this minute you can link the detector to your app.
Step 5 : Click on the “+” in the top right corner of the app home screen. Then choose “Add device”, as you see in Figure 1. The app will now automatically look for devices that are in pairing mode. Follow the steps as described in the app.
Figure 1 : Add Device in app Figure 2: Turn on Bluetooth in app If the app itself does not yet have permission to use Bluetooth, click on the notification and follow the steps to allow the app to access Bluetooth as you see in Figure 2.

Frequently Asked Questions

Alarm : If an alarm sounds when you try to activate pairing mode, a test is activated because you did not press fast enough. After the alarm stops, try pressing the test button again 4 times as quickly as possible within 1 second.
Low battery: The first time the detector is connected, the app may incorrectly report that the battery is almost empty.
Disconnect the detector and then reconnect it. If the notification is given again by the app, please contact us.

G. 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.

H. 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 unuseable.
• 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.

I. 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.

J. Two years of warranty

During the specified warranty period of 2 years after purchase, we will repair or replace any defective detector that is returned. This warranty shall not apply to the detector if it has been damaged, modified, neglected, abused or altered after the date of purchase or if it fails to operate due to improper maintenance, and the unit will not be replaced or repaired. Please contact us at contact@aroha.nl regarding the warranty.
The manufacturer shall have no liability for any personal injury, property damage or any special, incidental, contingent or consequential damage of any kind resulting from gas leakage, smoke, fire or explosion.
