About this Carbon Monoxide Alarm:

This CO alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas. It is NOT designed to
detect smoke, fire, or any other type of gas. If this CO alarm sounds its alarm
horn, DO NOT assume that it is a false alarm. The alarm horn requires your
immediate action.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide
audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30ppm.
SPECIFICATIONS AND IMPORTANT
Product Features
• Monthly Self-Test: Approximately every 30 days this alarm performs a silent
internal system test to verify sensor operation utilizing True Gas Testing. True
Gas Testing verifies that the CO sensor is nearing the end of its service life.
Traditional CO alarms test the sensor by simulating an alarm condition electrically.
This is the first CO sensor that runs a diagnostic test by generating a very small
and harmless amount of hydrogen gas. If the sensor is working properly, it WILL
NOT chirp. If the alarm chirps during the monthly self-testing, it is indicating a
problem with the unit. Refer to the charts on pages 5 and 6 for the appropriate
actions to take should this occur. You must still test the alarm weekly to verify
proper horn operation.
• Trigger Alarm Locator™ (TAL™): Most interconnect tests trigger all alarm horns
simultaneously for the duration of the test. This unique system alternates between
a 10 second ALL ON cycle and a 50 second cycle where only the initiating alarm
is sounding.
• Alarm Controlled Interconnect Test: In an interconnected system, this feature
will alarm the local unit first, then quiet the local unit while the remote units alarm.
• Smart Quiet™ Low Battery 1: Allows the homeowners to silence the low battery
chirp for up to 10 hours, giving them time to go back to sleep and/or purchase a
fresh replacement battery.
• Smart Quiet™ Low Battery 2: Indicates the battery no longer has enough
voltage to adequately protect in the event of a power outage or a battery-only
installation. The Smart Quiet™ feature will no longer silence the chirp.
THE BATTERY MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY.
Required Power Supply (Series 10000 and 10400 only)
• This CO alarm requires constant 120-volt, AC power AND/OR a working 9-volt
battery to operate properly. This alarm WILL NOT work if AC power is not
connected or has failed or been interrupted for any reason AND the battery is
removed, drained or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other kind of battery
except as specified in this manual.
