– This combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector has been designed to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide from any combustion source in a residential environment. It is not intended for use in recreational vehicles (RVs) or boats.
– This combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector has been designed for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain or moisture. Handle the device with care and avoid major shocks. Do not open or modify/repair the device as this could cause it to malfunction or cause injury to you. If you have dropped the device and it does not work, replace the device.
– This combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY combustion source. It is NOT designed to detect any other gas!
– This combined smoke and carbon monoxide detector does not protect against the risk of smoke or carbon monoxide poisoning if the battery runs out.
– The installation of this equipment is not a substitute for the proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, nor is it a substitute for ventilation and exhaust systems.
– The equipment should be installed by a competent person who understands the risks of misuse. – The device is not designed to warn people with hearing impairment.

– The TEST/SILENCE button tests the functions of the device. Do not use any other test method. Test the device weekly to ensure proper operation.
– If you are sure that the alarm has been misjudged, open the windows and wait for the alarm to go off or silence the alarm with the button.
– Observe all local electrical and building codes during installation.
– This device is intended for indoor use only. In multi-family buildings, each individual dwelling unit should have its own smoke alarm device. Do not install in non-residential buildings. A device is not a substitute for a complete security alarm system.

– Install a detector in every room and on every floor of the house. Smoke may not reach the detector for many reasons:
For example, if a fire starts in a remote part of the house, on another floor, in a chimney, in a wall, on the roof or on the other side of a closed door, the smoke may not reach the equipment in time to warn household members. This device will not immediately detect a fire or CO hazard except in the area or room in which it is installed.
– If there is a risk that a member of the household may not be able to hear or respond to the alarm for any reason, use other special smoke/CO detection measures.
– The device triggers an alarm if it detects smoke or the presence of burning particles or dangerous levels of CO in the air. The device does NOT emit heat, flame or other gas. The device is designed to give audible warning of an incipient fire. Many fires are fast burning, explosive or intentional, others are caused by negligence or safety hazards. In these cases, smoke may not trigger the device alarm FAST enough to ensure safe escape of persons.

– This device has its limitations. The device is not guaranteed to protect the property and health of persons. Users should always consider whether the protection they use is sufficient. In addition, it is possible that the equipment may fail at any time. For this reason, the equipment should be tested at least once every week and replaced every 10 years.
– The device must be installed on the bracket provided. When choosing the installation location, make sure that the alarm can be heard from all sleeping areas. If you are installing only one device in the house, install it near the bedrooms, not in the basement or in a room with a combustion appliance.

– For maximum protection, we recommend installing the unit on each floor of a multi-storey house, as well as in every bedroom,

hallway, living loft and basement, etc. Install the unit at both ends of a corridor or large room if the corridor or room is longer than

10 m. If you have only one detector, install it in the hallway outside the master bedroom or in the master bedroom. Check that the

alarm can be heard in all bedrooms.

– As carbon monoxide gas is lighter than air, select a suitable position for installation, i.e. 1.5 – 2.5 m above the floor. Ensure that

the device is visible (at eye level) so that the red and green indicator lights can be seen.

– Place the device at least 3m away from the combustion device.

– When mounting the device on the ceiling, place it at least 10 cm from the side wall.

– When mounting the device on a wall, use an internal wall with the top edge of the alarm at

least 10 cm and no more than 30.5 cm below the ceiling.

– Install the device on sloping, pointed or round ceilings at the highest point or within 0.9 m of it (measured horizontally).

Best here

– Smoke, heat and fumes rise towards the ceiling and spread horizontally. By mounting in the

middle of the room, the sensor is closest to all points in the room.

Acceptable

Locations unsuitable for installation:

here

– Places where smoke is permanently present.

DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT
TEST/SILENCE (Test Button/Mute Button)

Indicator (green, yellow, red) Speaker

Indicator It is used for light indication of various conditions: – Green indicator: Used to indicate the power status of the device. The green indicator flashes every 40 seconds. – Yellow indicator: Used to indicate a fault or warning condition of the device’s low battery. – Red indicator: Alarm for high smoke level, Alarm for high CO level.
Test/Mute button (TEST/SILENCE) – The button is used to test the alarm (press and hold) or to silence an active alarm (press).
Speaker – Used for audible warning in case of smoke alarm, CO alarm.

First start-up and operation:
– When the battery is connected, the three colour indicators (green/yellow/red) light up briefly and the device confirms start-up with an audible signal and starts counting down from 90s, then goes into normal operation mode.
– When the detector is switched on, 90 seconds before the detection starts, the green LED flashes every 2 seconds, this is the preheat state. After these 90 seconds the green LED flashes every 40 seconds, indicating the detector is operating correctly.
– Normal operation: The green indicator flashes every 40 seconds.
– Failure: When a fault is indicated, the device will beep twice every 40 seconds, flash yellow and display “Err” on the LCD. This indicates that the device is in a sensor fault condition and is no longer detecting or alerting. NOTE: If a detector error occurs, disassemble the device and contact your dealer or importer.
– Low battery: If the device beeps once every 40 seconds and flashes yellow, the battery is low. Replace the battery as soon as possible.
Note: If a low battery indication occurs, the device is still capable of triggering a smoke alarm or CO alarm signal for at least 4 minutes or 30 days of low battery warning signal operation.
– Smoke alarm: If the device detects a dangerous amount of smoke, it will sound an alarm.
The alarm (4 beeps, 1 second silence and a simultaneous red light signal of 4 flashes, 1 second pause) will sound repeatedly until the dangerous amount of smoke disappears or you manually silence it with the button.
If you silence the device with the button during the alarm, the audible signaling will pause for approximately 10 minutes, the light signaling (red) will continue to flash.
Note: The device is designed to minimize false alarm evaluation. A false alarm may occur if the appliance is placed near a cooking, grilling or frying area. To minimize these false alarms, prevent them by using, for example, a hood while cooking.
Only use the mute button when you are sure that there is no danger and the alarm has been triggered due to a misjudgement of the situation.

– CO alarm: If the device detects a dangerous amount of CO, it will trigger an alarm.
The alarm (4 beeps, 2 seconds of silence and a simultaneous light signal of 4 flashes, 2 seconds of pause) will sound repeatedly until the dangerous amount of CO disappears or you manually silence it with the button.

If the device is muted with the button during an alarm, the sound signaling will be suspended for about 10 minutes, the light signaling (red) will continue to flash.

CO detection sensitivity setting: In accordance with EN 50291-1:2018

50PPM 100PPM 300PPM

between 60 and 90 minutes between 10 and 40 minutes less than 3 minutes

NOTE: If the detected CO concentration exceeds 20 PPM and does not exceed the concentration set to alarm, the LCD will display the real-time concentration value and the CO, PPM symbol, the device will not alarm.
NOTE: When both smoke and carbon monoxide are present, the device will alternately display CO and SMOKE (change after 1 second)
