Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection
This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not open or tamper with
the detector as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against
the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly installed.
WARNING: This device will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas
from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, or other gases
unless the product has been investigated and determined to comply with applicable
requirements.
This device should not be installed as a substitute for proper installation, use, and
maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and
exhaust systems.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels are
burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impossible to detect with the
human senses. Under normal conditions in a room where fuel burning appliances
are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide
released into the room by appliances should not be dangerous.
Conditions Resulting in Dangerous CO
Situations
1 Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel‐burning appliances caused by:
•
outdoor ambient conditions, such as wind direction and/or velocity,
including high gusts of wind, and insufficient draft in the vent pipes
• negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans
• simultaneous operation of several fuel‐burning appliances competing for
limited internal air
• loose vent pipe connections from fuel‐fed appliances,
• obstructions, or unconventional vent pipe designs that can amplify the
above situations
• poorly designed or maintained chimneys and/or vents
2 Extended operation of unvented fuel‐burning devices (range, oven, replace,
etc.)
3 Temperature inversions that trap exhaust gases near the ground
4 Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home
If you have been exposed to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning, you may be suffering
from various symptoms (discuss these symptoms with all of the members of your
household):
Mild Exposure
• Headache, running nose, sore eyes (often described as ‘flu‐like’ symptoms)
Medium Exposure
• Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting
Extreme Exposure
• Unconsciousness, brain damage, death
Many reported cases of reported Carbon Monoxide Poisoning indicate that while
victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented that they are
unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.
Young children and pets may be the first to be affected.
WARNING: Individuals with medical problems should consider using
warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon
monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.
Actuation of this device indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU
If the alarm signal sounds, four beeps:
1 Push the hush/test button.
2 Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or next to an open window).
3 Check that all persons within the area are accounted for.
4 Do not re‐enter the premises (or move away from the open window until the
emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out,
and your alarm remains in normal condition.
5 Call emergency services, the fire department, or 911.
6 If the service signal sounds, one chirp, then check the service section to try and
correct.
7 After following steps 1‐6, if your alarm reactivates within a 24‐hour period,
repeat steps 1‐6 and call your local qualified technician to investigate for
sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances and inspect for
proper operation of this CO detector. If problems are identified during this
inspection, have the equipment serviced or replaced immediately. Note any
combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the
manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly for more
information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or
adjacent to the residence.
Replacing the Detector
This detector is manufactured with a long‐life carbon monoxide sensor. Over time
the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be replaced with a new carbon
monoxide detector. The detector’s lifespan is 5 years from the date of manufacture.
NOTE: When the detector is removed from its base, a Tamper message is
sent to the central monitoring station. The detector also causes a trouble
condition when it has reached the end of its life. If this occurs, it is time to
replace the detector.
Before replacing the detector, notify the central monitoring station that
maintenance is being performed and that the system will be temporarily out of
service. From the Control Panel, disable the zone or system undergoing
maintenance to prevent any unwanted alarms. Dispose of the detector in
accordance with any local regulations.
IMPORTANT: The Replacement Date that appears on the device is the date
beyond which the device may no longer detect carbon monoxide
accurately and should be immediately replaced.
The installation, operation testing and maintenance of the Wireless Carbon
Monoxide Alarm is different than smoke detectors. Per NFPA 720 section 5.3.7.2 the
detector shall not be connected to a zone that signals a fire condition (i.e. smoke
detector/alarm zones). Therefore, the Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm must be
programmed as a non‐fire zone. See step 2 under Programming for the correct
Carbon Monoxide zone type to program.
Specifications
Regulatory Compliance
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC's Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
