The original English version of the manual, from which these translations were taken, has been independently approved. In case of discrepancy with translated parts, FireAngel Safety Technology Limited confirms that the English guide is true and correct.
This optical smoke alarm is suitable for detecting slow smoldering fires. Like other smoke alarm devices, it can be subject to nuisance alarms from steam and should not be placed near bathrooms. For the earliest warning, we recommend this combination smoke and CO alarm is fitted in all rooms where the temperature is between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F). Prolonged exposure to temperatures outside those stated above will reduce product life.
Check with local building and fire regulations for your property, to ensure compliance. This alarm must be installed by a competent person, able to install according to the instructions. This combination smoke and CO alarm is not intended for any non-residential, commercial or industrial application.

POSITIONING

Your combination smoke and CO alarm are suitable for the landing, hallway, bedroom, living room, and dining room.
Aim to install the alarm in a bedroom or hallway located close to the sleeping area.
If more than one sleeping area exists, locate additional alarms in each sleeping area. If the alarm is located in the same room as a fuel-burning appliance, it should ideally be located 3m from the potential CO source.
Common sources of CO include oil and gas boilers, portable generators, oil or solid fuel cookers, gas or paraffin heaters, barbecues, clogged chimneys, wood or gas fireplaces, any gas or fossil-fuel-burning appliance.
The alarm should be sited at least 300mm from light fittings and walls. Ideally as central as possible in the room.
It should be positioned at no more than 600mm vertically below the highest point in the room.
If positioning your smoke alarm on the wall, the top of the alarm must be between 150mm and 300mm below the ceiling, and at least 300mm from a neighboring wall.

INSTALLATION

WARNING! To prevent injury, this device must be securely attached to the ceiling/wall in accordance with the installation instructions

Fit the baseplate to the ceiling or wall using the screws provided.| Push and twist the alarm clockwise onto the baseplate to activate the alarm.| Press the Test /4x button. The alarm will sound at a reduced alarm volume.
---|---|---

THE ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED ON THE BASEPLATE TO ACTIVATE THE ALARM.
After activation, three-color LEDs (green/amber/red) will light up briefly and the device will beep. The green LED will then flash constantly for 40 seconds. Following this, the green LED on the front of the alarm should flash once every 40 seconds (approx.) to show that it is active. The alarm test sound pattern will be: 3 long beeps followed by a 1.5-second pause, then 4 short beeps followed by a 5-second pause. This cycle will repeat for the duration of the test. The red LED will flash the same pattern. This CO alarm should not be seen as a substitute for the proper installation, use & maintenance of fuel-burning appliances (including appropriate ventilation & exhaust systems), nor the sweeping of chimneys.

MAINTENANCE

Do not use any other test method except the process described in this manual.
Do not tamper with the alarm, for the risk of electric shock or malfunction.

Test the alarm every month.| Vacuum your alarm every 3 months.| To prevent the possibility of contaminating the sensor in your alarm does not paint the alarm, do not use cleaners, aerosol sprays, or solvents.| Replace the alarm every 10 years
---|---|---|---

Your alarm must be replaced immediately if the device indicates End of Life: 3 chirps and 3 ambers LED ﬂashes every 40 seconds. An alarm signaling End of Life may not detect a ﬁre or CO leak.

This combination of smoke and CO alarm are designed to protect from the danger of ﬁre. It is also designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source of combustion. (It is not designed to detect any other gas.) The SCB10 combination Smoke/Carbon Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms.
The CO Alarm is not designed to detect ﬁre or any other gas. It will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. The Smoke Alarm will only indicate the presence of smoke that reaches the sensor. The Smoke Alarm is not designed to sense gas, heat or ﬂames.

SMOKE ALARM AWARENESS

Never ignore any alarm. If there is any question as to the cause of the alarm, always assume that it is an actual ﬁre.
The smoke alarm takes precedence if both smoke and carbon monoxide are present.

The smoke alarm signal pattern is a repeated cycle of 3 long beeps followed by 1.5 seconds of silence. The red LED will ﬂash the same pattern.
Red LED:
Alarm sound:
The alarm will sound at a lower volume for around 10 seconds, then increase to the normal alarm volume of 85dB.

GET OUT IMMEDIATELY. Stay close to the ﬂoor, cover your mouth with a cloth and conserve breath as you crawl to safety.

Touch doors to feel if they are hot before opening them, ﬁre may have walled up behind them. If necessary, use an alternative exit.

STAY OUT of the building. Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

GET THE FIRE BRIGADE OUT. Call the emergency number from outside the building.

When ﬁre strikes, a prepared and practiced escape plan could prove vital. Consider and discuss the following hints:

Ensure everyone is familiarised with the alarm signal.
Keep all windows and doors closed except for escape purposes.
Plan a set meeting place for after an escape.
Prepare and practice an escape plan before a ﬁre starts.
Draw a ﬂoor plan. Have ﬁre drills often. Practice your escape.

CO ALARM AWARENESS

A loud alarm is a warning that potentially lethal levels of carbon monoxide are present.
Never ignore this alarm, further exposure can be fatal.
Immediately check residents for symptoms of CO poisoning. Contact the proper authorities to resolve all CO problems.

The CO alarm signal pattern is a repeated cycle of 4 long beeps followed by 5 seconds of silence. The red LED will ﬂash the same pattern.
Red LED:
Alarm sound:
The alarm will sound at a lower volume for around 10 seconds, then increase to the normal alarm volume of 85dB.

Keep calm; open doors & windows to ventilate the property. Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and if possible, turn them off.

Evacuate the property, leaving doors & windows open.

Ring your fuel supplier on their emergency number.
Do not use appliances again until they have been checked by an expert.

Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of CO poisoning (headache, nausea), and advise that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected.

Depending on the level of CO detected, it can take up to 10 minutes to clear the sensor and the alarm to stop.
Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped.

The following symptoms may be related to CO poisoning which all household members should be aware of:

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, vomiting, fatigue (often described as ‘ﬂu-like’ symptoms).
Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death.

Your CO alarm monitors levels of CO as parts per million (ppm) in the air surrounding the detector.
35ppm The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure for healthy adults in any 8 hour period (as recommended by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration).
200ppm Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea after 2 – 3 hours.
400ppm Frontal headaches within 1 – 2 hours, life-threatening after 3 hours.
800ppm Dizziness, nausea & convulsions within 45 minutes. Unconsciousness within 2 hours. Death within 2 – 3 hours.
This apparatus is designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It may not, however, prevent the chronic effects of carbon
monoxide exposure and will not fully safeguard individuals at special risk (age, pregnancy) or with speciﬁc medical conditions. If in doubt, consult your doctor.
