Install Carbon Monoxide Sensors - NAPCO iSecure Installation & Programming Instructions

8. Install Carbon Monoxide Sensors

OVERVIEW
The ISEC-CARBON MON is a high-quality carbon monoxide
(CO) detector with built-in supervised digitally-coded radio
transmitter. Up to 80 CO detectors can be added to the sys-
tem.
During normal operation, when unit is in standby mode and
is within proper sensitivity limits, the green LED on the ISEC
-CARBON MON flashes once every 10 seconds. When CO
is detected, the ISEC-CARBON MON sounds a local alarm
and the transmitter sends an alarm signal to the supervised
receiver. The alarm signal is repeated as long as CO is still
present. A restore report is sent when the CO detection
chamber clears. Supervision status reports are sent from
the ISEC-CARBON MON every minute.
Note: Coding switches are not required or used in the ISEC
-CARBON MON; each transmitter is assigned a unique
identification code number at the factory.
The ISEC-CARBON MON must be installed in accordance
with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Stand-
ard 720. To AutoEnroll using the ISEC-WL-TOUCH keypad,

MON to identify the component locations. Take note of
the "Tamper Lock" tab located on the inside of the
Mounting Plate (see image below). Optionally, cut this
"Tamper Lock" tab to prevent the removal of the ISEC-
CARBON MON from the Mounting Plate without using a
tool (such as a screwdriver).

3. Install battery. Place one 3-volt lithium Duracell, Pana-
sonic, Varta or Sanyo type "123A" battery in its compart-
ment, observing correct polarity.
CARBON MON into the Hub before mounting. During
power up and status initialization, both the green and
red LED's blink four times every 10 seconds in unison.
Then look for the "standby" indication where the green
LED blinks once every 10 seconds.
Low Battery Warning
The CO detector and transmitter are powered by one 3-
volt lithium battery (supplied) that can power the unit for
at least one year. If battery voltage drops below normal,
the red LED will flash every 45 seconds and a low bat-
tery report will be sent to the Hub. If the voltage is still
below normal after 7 days, the detector sounder will
chirp. The battery should be replaced immediately.
Operation of the detector cannot be assured after an
additional 7 days of low-battery indication. A low-battery
report is sent to the receiver with any status transmis-
sion.
NOTE: Temperature and humidity extremes may reduce
the life of the battery.
Use Only Battery Specified In Marking. Use of A Differ-
ent Battery May Have A Detrimental Effect On Detector
Operation.
4. Pick CO-detector location. The ISEC-CARBON MON
must be installed in accordance with the National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 720. Refer to
figures in "Recommended Installation Locations" (on
page 27) and all text on pages 27 through 29.
Note: Mounting the ISEC-CARBON MON on foil-
backed wallpaper is NOT recommended because the
radio range will be reduced.
