This user’s manual contains important information about your Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm’s operation. If you are installing this CO Alarm for use by others, you must leave this manual—or a copy of it—with the end user. UNDERSTANDING YOUR CO ALARM, Continued LOW BATTERY WARNING The light continues to flash (RED) and the horn also “chirps” once every minute. This warning should last for up to 30 days, but you should replace the batteries as soon as possible. DIGITAL DISPLAY: Battery icon will show an empty icon. DURING TESTING Light flashes Red in sync with the horn pattern (4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps), simulating a CO Alarm condition. DIGITAL DISPLAY: During the simulated CO alarm, “CO” is displayed along with a full alarm level. Several ppm CO levels are also displayed and the alarm level is shown increasing. CO ALARM Sensor has detected enough CO to trigger an alarm. Light flashes rapidly and horn sounds loudly (repeating 4 beeps, pause). See “If Your CO Alarm Sounds” for details. During an alarm, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT move the CO Alarm! DIGITAL DISPLAY: “CO” alternating with the ppm number, a full level, and “EVACUATE”. CO ALARM REQUIRES SERVICE (MALFUNCTION SIGNAL) HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM Read “Where To Install CO Alarms” before starting. Before you start installation, find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this CO Alarm. On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder (like 911) and a qualified appliance technician. Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds. INSTALLING THE AA BATTERIES 1. Flip the battery door down to open. 2. Install both AA batteries (included) inside the battery compartment as indicated. Make sure the “+” and “–” ends of each battery are aligned properly. 3. Close the battery door. TO MOUNT ON THE WALL Tools you will need: pencil, drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit, flathead screwdriver, hammer. 1. Choose a location on the wall. Do not install the Alarm closer than 4” (102 mm) from where the wall meets the ceiling. 2. Hold the mounting guide template against the wall, and make a mark inside each keyhole where you will drill your mounting hole as shown in the diagram below. TESTING & MAINTENANCE WEEKLY TESTING • Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem. • DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding. You can test this CO Alarm two ways: 1. Manually: Press the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover until alarm sounds. 2. Remote Control: Aim your remote control at the CO Alarm and press the CHANNEL or VOLUME button. The alarm horn will sound: 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The ALARM (RED) light will flash quickly. The alarm sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If it does not alarm, make sure fresh batteries are correctly installed, and test it again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately. If the alarm does not test properly: 1. Make sure that fresh batteries are installed correctly. 2. Be sure the Alarm is clean and dust-free. 3. Install fresh AA batteries and test the Alarm again. For a list of acceptable replacement batteries, see “Regular Maintenance.” POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME The following conditions can result in transient CO situations: 1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as: • Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). • Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans. • Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air. • Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters. • Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations. 2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, fireplace). gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer. 3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground. Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or 4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home. clogged chimney opening. These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in home. Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch). recreate during a CO investigation.
