Important safety information

Read this manual before attempting to install the device!
Failure to observe recommendations included in this manual may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, Fibar Group S.A.  will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following the instructions of the operating manual.

General carbon monoxide information
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. It is produced when liquid, solid, or gas fuel is burned.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

The early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused with flu-like symptoms: headache, dizziness, and nausea. Breathing carbon monoxide causes these symptoms even in healthy people. It can also cause sleepiness, vision problems (including blurred vision), ringing in the ears, aching arms, and legs, irregular breathing, fatigue, and confusion. At very high levels, it causes loss of consciousness and death. Some external factors, eg. exposure to the high concentration of basic (non-acidic) gases, silicone vapors, hydrogen sulfide or sulfuric acid gas, organic vapors,  contact with water, dust, and oil mist, or dew condensation may affect the reliability of the device operation. This device may not protect from long-term exposure to low levels of carbon monoxide which can also lead to neurological symptoms.
The device is not a substitute for appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.

HomeKit technology
Apple HomeKit technology provides an easy, secure way to control HomeKit- enabled accessories using Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

After installing your FIBARO CO Sensor, configure it from a compatible app with just a few simple steps.
You can even create your own custom scenes to control your home settings. For example, you can create a scene to automatically turn off the lights,  lock your doors, close the garage door, and set the thermostat to the desired temperature in just one step.

Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory requires an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9.3 or later.
Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory away from home requires a third- generation Apple TV with Apple TV software 7.2.1 or later or a fourth- generation Apple TV with tvOS 9.2 or later and an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9.3 or later

• The accessory should be installed on the wall, at least 30 cm (1 ft) away from the corners.
• The accessory should not be installed: in a bathroom, next to heat sources, within range of kids, obstructed from possible carbon monoxide sources, in direct sunlight.
• The accessory should be installed by a qualified installation.
• Do not paint the accessory.
• The accessory should be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth or moistened tissue.

Place of installation:

NOTE
Recommended height of installation is dependant on the purpose of the room and the height at which the head typically is.

3. Release the button.

4. Wait for the device to indicate desired menu position with a color:
   • White – confirmed the start of the irmware update process
   • Green
   • Magenta – reset the CO peak value
   • Yellow – the device reset

5. Press the button to confirm the selection.

NOTE
CO Sensor must be detached from the wall and battery level must be greater than 30% of its full capacity to perform the firmware update process.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

Functionality

Carbon monoxide alarm:
The CO Sensor alarms about abnormal levels of carbon monoxide concentration with 4 red blinks and 4 loud beeps (every 5 seconds).
Alarm is also reported to your iOS device.

Carbon monoxide measuring and storing:
The CO Sensor measures carbon monoxide concentration and reports. If the measured value differs from previously reported by at least 1ppm, accessory reports it to your iOS device.
Last2500 measurements are stored in the non-volatile memory of the accessory and can be accessed via FIBARO for the HomeKit app.

Temperature measuring:
The CO Sensor measures ambient temperature every 30 seconds. If the measured temperature differs from previously reported by at least 1°C (1.8°F), the accessory reports it to your iOS device.
Last 2500 measurements are stored in the non-volatile memory of the accessory and can be accessed via  FIBAROfor  HomeKitapp.

Tamper detection:
The CO Sensor detects tampering when the accessory is removed from its base and reports it to your iOS device. Tampering is indicated with one white blink and beep.

Battery level measuring:
The CO Sensor measures attery level every 6 hours and reports it to your iOS device. Additionally, if the battery level is below 15%, the accessory will report low-level battery status to your iOS device and indicate it with one yellow blink and beep.

NOTE
The accessory measures temperature in the place of installation. Remember that the temperature near the ceiling may differ from that on eye level or the floor.
