Combination Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (Type B)
10-Year Sealed Battery Operated
User Manual
Model: SCO3/SCO4
This user manual contains important information about your combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarm’s operation. To ensure proper use and trouble-free operation, please read this manual carefully and store it in a safe place for future reference.
Introduction
All X-sense combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarms conform to regulatory
requirements, including EN 14604 & EN 50291 Standards, and are designed to
detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.
This unit adopts photoelectric technology to detect smoke which is generally
more sensitive than ionization technology. It is effective at detecting large
particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires
and may smolder for hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires
may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is odorless, tasteless, and invisible – it’s a silent
killer. Using electrochemical sensing technology, this unit can detect
increased levels of carbon monoxide early, protecting your family from the
dangers of carbon monoxide.
- The installation of the apparatus should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
- This apparatus is to be installed by a competent person.
- It is not tested for use in a caravan or boat.
Note: For maximum protection, use smoke & CO alarms on each level and in every bedroom of your home.
NEVER IGNORE THE SOUND OF THE ALARM!
Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy with your X-sense
combination smoke & carbon monoxide alarm. The alarm sounder will inform you
of the type of situation occurring.
When the Smoke Alarm Sounds:
Smoke alarms are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not
normally set off the alarm unless the smoke is blown directly into the alarm.
This unit contains nuisance alarm protection, which will reduce the impact of
cooking particles. However, large quantities of combustible particles from
spills or broiling could still cause the unit to alarm. The careful location
of the unit away from the kitchen area will give the maximum nuisance alarm
protection. Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if located
too close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are
generated from spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood that
vents to the outside (non-recirculating type) will also help remove these
combustible products from the kitchen. If the alarm sounds, check for fires
first. If a fire is discovered, follow these steps. Become thoroughly familiar
with these items, and review them with all family members!
- Alert small children in the home. Children sleep very sound and may not be awakened by the sound of the smoke alarms.
- Leave immediately using one of your planned escape routes. Every second counts, so don’t stop to get dressed or pick up valuables.
- Before opening inside doors, look for smoke seeping in around the edges, and feel with the back of your hand. If the door is hot, use your second exit. If you feel it’s safe, open the door very slowly and be prepared to close it immediately if smoke and heat rush In.
- If the escape route requires you to go through smoke, crawl low under the smoke where the air is clearer.
- Go to your predetermined meeting place. When two people have arrived, one should leave to call emergency service from a neighbor’s home, and the other should stay to perform a head count.
- Do not reenter under any circumstance until fire officials give the go-ahead.
- There are situations where a smoke alarm may not be effective to protect against fire. For instance:
– Smoking in bed.
– Leaving children unsupervised.
– Cleaning with flammable liquids, such as gasoline.
– Fires where the victim is intimate with a flaming initiated fire; for example, when a person’s clothes catch fire while cooking.
– Fires where the smoke is prevented from reaching the detector due to a closed-door or other obstruction.
– Incendiary fires where the fire grows so rapidly that an occupant’s egress is blocked even with properly located detectors.
WARNING
Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which can kill you.
When the Carbon Monoxide Alarm Sounds:
-
Operate the Test/Silence button.
-
Call your emergency services.
PHONE NUMBER -
Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
PHONE NUMBER -
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. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer 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.

The Test & Silence button is used to test the unit’s electronics and to
silence the unit during an alarm. When testing the alarm weekly, press the
test button until you hear a short beep, indicating that the alarm has entered
the test mode.
Note: After a test has begun, the alarm will sound and the red LED will
flash. This does not indicate that smoke/CO is present.
If you press the test button during an alarm state, the unit will enter
silence mode.
CO silence mode: press the test button during an alarm state, the unit
will enter the silence mode. If the CO density still exceeds the alarm
threshold within 6 minutes, the unit will enter another alarm state.
Otherwise, the unit will exit from silence mode after 9 minutes.
Note: If the smoke or CO concentration has reached an alarming level
after the silence time has expired, this unit will continue to alarm until the
smoke or CO concentration decreases to a safe, low level.
Alarm Sounder
The alarm will sound when there is smoke or CO present when testing the alarm,
and when there is a fault.

Installation Instructions
- Prioritize the installation of an alarm in the bedroom and walkways, and make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. In a home with several bedrooms, install an alarm in every bedroom. If you install only one smoke alarm in your home, install the alarm near all bedrooms where possible, and not in a basement or furnace room.
- Install an alarm above the stairway and on every floor of the house.
- Smoke, heat, and anything burning will spread horizontally after rising to the ceiling, so install the alarm in the middle of the ceiling where possible. Ensure the alarm is within working distance of all corners of the room.
- If an alarm cannot be installed in the middle of a ceiling, install it at a distance of 20 inches (SO cm) away from the corners of the room.
- If an alarm is installed on a wall, it should be at a distance of 4-12 inches (10-30 cm) below the ceiling.
- If the length of a room or hall is beyond 30 feet (900 cm), you will need to install several alarms in the same space.
- When the wall or ceiling is angled, the alarm needs to be installed within 3 feet (90 cm) of the highest wall or ceiling point (measured horizontally) in the room.

Locations to Avoid
WARNING – This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
- Do not install in garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or bathrooms! Do not install within 5 ft or 1.5 m of cooking appliances.
- Do not install within 3 ft (0.9 m) of the following: The door to a kitchen, or a bathroom that contains a tub or shower, forced air supply ducts used for heating or cooling, ceiling or whole house ventilating fans, or other high airflow areas. Avoid excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas. Dust, grease or household chemicals can contaminate the alarm’s sensors, causing the alarm to not operate properly.
- Place the alarm where drapes or other objects will not block the sensors. Smoke and CO must be able to reach the sensors to accurately detect these conditions. Do not install in peaks of vaulted ceilings, “A” frame ceilings, or gabled roofs. Keep out of damp and humid areas.
- Install at least one (1) foot away from fluorescent lights, as electronic noise may cause nuisance alarms. Do not place in direct sunlight and keep out of insect-infested areas. Extreme temperatures will affect the sensitivity of the smoke/CO alarm. Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40 °F (4.4 °C) or hotter than 100 °F (37.8 °C), such as garages and unfinished attics. Do not install in areas where the relative humidity (RH) is above 85%. Place away from doors and windows that open to the outside.
- Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination (alarm and guard) has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Mounting Steps
- Drill three Ø 6.0 mm holes in the wall or ceiling, then insert three plastic anchor plugs into the holes with a hammer.
- Attach the mounting bracket to the surface of the wall or ceiling with three screws and mount the alarm into the bracket by pushing them together and twisting the unit clockwise.
- Test the unit by using the Test/Silence button. Ensure the unit sounds in an alarming pattern.
Note: This model is equipped with a feature that automatically activates the alarm when the alarm is attached to the mounting bracket for the first time.
Deactivation of the Alarm
WARNING!
- DO NOT DEACTIVATE THE ALARM UNIT UNTIL THE END-OF-LIFE SIGNAL HAS BEEN HEARD.
- ONCE THE MAXIMUM LIFETIME (10 YEARS) IS REACHED, THE ALARM DELIVERS 2 BEEPS EVERY 30 SECONDS.

Weekly Test
WARNING!
- NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME OF ANY KIND TO TEST THIS UNIT. YOU MIGHT ACCIDENTALLY DAMAGE OR SET FIRE TO THE UNIT OR TO YOUR HOME.
- NEVER USE A VEHICLE EXHAUST TO TEST THIS UNIT. EXHAUST FUMES MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
- DO NOT STAND CLOSE TO THE ALARM WHEN THE ALARM IS SOUNDING. EXPOSURE AT CLOSE RANGE MAY BE HARMFUL TO YOUR HEARING. WHEN TESTING, STEP AWAY WHEN THE ALARM BEGINS TO SOUND.
Maintenance
To keep your smoke/CO alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:
- Verify the unit’s alarm sound and indicators are working properly by testing the unit once a week
- Remove the unit from the ceiling/wall and clean the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust and dirt.
- Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
- Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near the alarm.
- Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor’s ability to detect smoke or CO. Never attempt to disassemble the unit or clean inside. Doing so will void your warranty.
- When removed, place the smoke/CO alarm back in its proper location as soon as possible, to assure continuous protection from fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
- When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
If the Smoke Alarm Sounds
- Don’t panic stay calm. Follow your family’s escape plan.
- Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get dressed or collect anything.
- Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them.
- If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors and windows closed unless you must escape through them.
- Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).
- Take short, shallow breaths.
- Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home, and do a head count to make sure everybody got out safely.
- Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside. Give your address, then your name.
- Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.
- Contact your Fire Department for ideas on making your home safer.
If the CO Alarm Sounds
- Keep calm and immediately move to fresh air. Open all doors and windows to increase the rate of ventilation. Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off, e.g. for gas appliances, isolate the emergency control valve.
- If the alarm continues to be activated, then evacuate the premises. Leave the doors and windows open, and only re-enter the building when the alarm has stopped. In multi-occupancy and multi-story premises, ensure that all the occupants are alerted to the risk
- Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, and advise that carbon monoxide inhalation is suspected.
- Telephone the appropriate appliance servicing and/or maintenance agency or, when necessary, the relevant fuel supplier on their emergency number or the National Gas Emergency Service Provider, if appropriate so that the source of carbon monoxide emissions can be identified and corrected. Unless the reason for the alarm is obviously spurious, do not use the fuel-burning appliances again, until they have been checked and cleared for use by a competent person according to national regulations.
What You Need to Know About CO
CO cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted and can be fatal. The build-up of CO in
the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level and interferes with the
body’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
appliances 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 following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be
discussed with all members of the household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
described as “Flu-like” symptoms).
Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
The above levels of exposure are related to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities. 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. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization with the effects of each level is important.
Fire Safety Information
Poisoning indicates that while victims are aware, that they are not well,
they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either
exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and
household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization with the effects of
each level is important.
Escape Plan
Prepare and practice a home escape plan twice a year, including drills at
night. Know two ways out of every room (door & window) and identify a meeting
place outside the home where everyone will gather once they have exited the
residence. When two people have reached the meeting place, one should leave to
call emergency service while the residence. When two people have reached the
meeting place, one should leave to call emergency service while the second
person stays to account for additional family members. Establish a rule that
once you’re out, you never reenter under any circumstance!
Fire Prevention
Never smoke in bed or leave cooking food unattended. Teach children never to
play with matches or lighters! Train everyone in the home to recognize the
alarm pattern, voice message warning and to leave the home using their escape
plan when it’s heard. Know how to do “Stop, Drop and Roll” if clothes catch on
fire, and how to crawl low under smoke. Install and maintain fire
extinguishers on every level of the home and in the kitchen, basement, and
garage. Know how to use a fire extinguisher prior to an emergency. Second-
level and higher-occupied rooms with windows should have an escape ladder.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping
individuals, and that it is the responsibility of individuals in the household
that are capable of assisting others to provide assistance to those who may
not be awakened by the alarm sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely
evacuating the area unassisted.
Following Conditions Can Result in Transient CO Situations:
- Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind, and heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).
- Negative pressure resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
- Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air.
- Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.
- Obstructions in, or unconventional, vent pipe designs can amplify the above situations.
- Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
- Temperature inversions can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
- A car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
