Activating and restoring gas accelerated
response
Use the Activate Gas Accelerated Response option to turn on the accelerated
response mode. Use the Restore Gas Accelerated Response option to turn off
the accelerated response mode.
Under normal conditions, it takes approximately four minutes at 400 PPM of CO
before a CO detector activates. This mimics the normal absorption rate of CO in
the bloodstream. When testing a CO device, you can put the CO detectors in the
CO accelerated response mode, which shortens the time to activation to be
between four to eight seconds at 400 PPM of CO.
You can activate a gas accelerated response on devices that have a CO sensor.
See Table 9 on page 43. Once activated, the gas accelerated response on that
device remains active for four hours, unless you manually restore it, or the device
returns from a communication fault.
To activate gas accelerated response:
1. Press the Menu button and choose Control.
2. Enter a level one password.
3. Choose Activate/Restore.
4. Choose Gas Accel Response.
5. Select the device that you want to accelerate.
6. Press Enter.
7. Press Cancel to return to the previous menu.
