Congratulations on the purchase of this ELRO smoke & carbon monoxide detector! Read these instructions carefully and store them in a safe place for future usage.

WARNINGS

The installation of a carbon monoxide detector should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
Risk of electric shock or malfunction if the apparatus is tampered with.
The following substances can affect the sensor and may cause false alarms: methane, propane, isobutane, isopropanol, ethylene, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxides, alcohol-based products, paints, thinners, solvents, adhesives, hair sprays, aftershaves, perfumes and some cleaning
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the wall/ceiling in accordance with the installation instructions.
Apparatus should be installed by a competent
Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat, such as sunshine or fire.

Activate your smoke & carbon monoxide detector

The detector contains a sealed battery with a lifetime of 10 years and will be activated automatically when the alarm is attached to the mounting plate for the first time. After activation, all three LEDs will light up and a beep will sound. The green LED will flash every 2 seconds for 40 seconds to indicate that the device is in the preparation state. After this, the green LED will flash every 40 seconds to indicate that the device is functioning properly.

Where to install your detector

Potential sources of carbon monoxide are wood-burning stoves, gas boilers, and fires, gas hobs, oil and coal burning appliances, portable gas heaters, barbecues, etc.
In which room should you install a detector?
Ideally, a smoke & carbon monoxide detector should be installed:

In every bedroom (especially in children’s rooms).
In hallways and escape rooms.
In every room containing a fuel-burning appliance.
In every room where not much time is spent and the alarm sound from other apparatuses may not be heard.
If the number of available apparatuses is limited, then choose for the room where:
– A flueless or open-Rued appliance is located.
– Most time is spent.
In case of bedsit (single room serving as both living room and bedroom): Locate the apparatus as far as possible from the cooking appliances and near the sleeping area.
If the appliance is installed in a room not normally frequented (for example a boiler room), then the apparatus should be positioned so that the alarm may be heard more easily.

Where in the room should a detector be installed?

In rooms with a fuel-burning appliance:
– Between 1-3 m distance away from the potential source of carbon monoxide. – If there is a partition in the room: At the same side of the partition as the potential source of carbon monoxide.
In rooms without a fuel-burning appliance (such as sleeping rooms/hallways:
– Relatively close to the breathing zones of occupants.
If mounted on the wall:
– Close to the ceiling, but at least 150 mm away from the ceiling.
– At a height greater than the height of any door or window.
If mounted on the ceiling:
– At least 50 cm away from any wall or objects.

Where should a detector not be installed?

In an enclosed space or on a local the air ﬂow may be obstructed (in a closet / behind a curtain or furniture).
Directly above a sink.
Next to a door, window, or air conditioning.
Next to an extractor fan.
In areas where the temperature gets < 0°C or > 40°C.
In areas where dirt or dust may block the sensor.
In a damp/humid local).
In the immediate vicinity of cooking appliances.
On a local, the LED indicator may not be visible.

Mounting the device

What to do if carbon monoxide is detected?

If the device gives a carbon monoxide alarm, please take the following actions:

Keep calm and open all doors and Stop using fuel-burning appliances and turn them off.
If the alarm continues, evacuate the building. Leave all doors and windows open, and do not enter again before the alarm has stopped.
Get medical help for anyone who is suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Contact the appropriate maintenance agency. Do not use fuel-burning appliances until they are checked by a competent person.

Alarm silence mode

When the device has detected smoke and turns into the alarm mode, you can mute the alarm for a minimum of 5 minutes and a maximum of 15 minutes by pressing the test button. After that, the device automatically resets and returns into the normal operation mode. If it still detects smoke the device will turn into the alarm mode again.

The effects of carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, non-irritating gas that is classified as a chemical asphyxiant, whose toxic action is a direct result of the hypoxia produced by a given exposure. Health effects of carbon monoxide on healthy adults:

Concentration	Symptoms
100-200 PPM	Slight headache, weakness, potential burden on the fetus
200-300 PPM	Severe headache, nausea, impairment in limb movements
300-400 PPM	Severe headache, irritability, confusion, impairment in visual

acuity, nausea, muscular weakness, dizziness, weakness
400-500 PPM| Convulsions and unconsciousness
600-700 PPM| Coma, collapse, death
