For additional information on carbon monoxide and your medical condition contact your physician. HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS GENERAL INFORMATION • This Co Alarm does not operate without working batteries. Removing the batteries, or failure to replace them at the end of their service life, removes your protection. • High temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, impact or dropping can adversely affect LCD displays. A CO Alarm measures the CO levels in the air. It will alarm if CO levels rise quickly (if the heat exchanger on your furnace breaks, for example), or if CO is consistently present (a slow CO leak on a fuel-burning appliance). This carbon monoxide alarm features a permanently installed sensor, three colored indicator lights, and an 85 dB alarm horn. It also has a silence feature to temporarily quiet the alarm horn. THE PARTS OF YOUR CO ALARM 6 3 4 2 1 5 7 1 Open door here 5 (Behind Cover) Alarm Horn: 85dB 2 Test/Silence Button audible alarm for test, alarm, and unit malfunction warning. 3 POWER/ALARM Light (Green/Red) 6 Peak Level Button 4 Battery Compartment 7 Digital Display 1 UNDERSTANDING YOUR CO ALARM Lights blink when batteries are first connected. DIGITAL DISPLAY: All segments are turned on for a short time upon initial power. Then the battery level icon is displayed. ALARM RECEIVING BATTERY POWER Green light flashes every minute. Horn is silent. DIGITAL DISPLAY: Battery icon will show a full or almost full icon. Battery icon flashes every two seconds. In standby mode Display will only flash battery icon (will not show 0). LOW BATTERY WARNING The light continues to flash (GREEN) 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 either 1 bar or an empty icon. LOW BATTERY SILENCE The LED is Green and the horn is silent. DIGITAL DISPLAY: “bat” and “SILENCE” are displayed. 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) The light flashes (GREEN) and the horn sounds 3 “chirps” every minute. CO Alarm needs to be replaced. DIGITAL DISPLAY: “Err” is displayed. CO ALARM END OF LIFE The LED flashes Green 5 times in sync with 5 chirps every minute. CO Alarm needs to be replaced. DIGITAL DISPLAY: “End” is displayed. USING THE PEAK CO MEMORY The CO Memory Feature lets you check the highest level of CO recorded during an alarm. To check CO Memory: 1. Press the Peak Level Button until the peak CO level is displayed. To clear CO Memory: 1. Automatically resets after 24 hours. 2a. While checking CO memory, press or hold the Peak Level Button until “CLEAR” is displayed. b. Press or hold the Peak Level Button until the CO Memory is cleared. 3. Remove the batteries. NOTE: The highest CO level will be saved for 24 hours. DO NOT clear the CO Memory reading if you plan to call someone to investigate a CO problem! Clear the CO Memory reading only after the investigator has checked your home. If the investigator will not arrive within the 24 hour time period before the unit automatically resets, be sure to write down the peak level. INSTALLATION WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home. If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway. GARAGE SUGGESTED AREAS FOR INSTALLING ADDITIONAL CO ALARMSBEDROOMBEDROOMHALLLIVING ROOMKITCHENBASEMENTBEDROOMREQUIRED TO MEET NFPA RECOMMENDATIONS In a Single-level Home: • Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. • For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source. In a Multi-level Home: • Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. • For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of the home. If you have a basement, install that CO Alarm at the top of the basement stairs. • For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.
