CO inspection and functional gas test
(for qualified service technicians only)
Note: Consult the most recent version of NFPA 720 for more
information regarding the requirement for functional testing of
CO alarms and/or your Local Authority Having Jurisdiction
(AHJ).
A canned CO testing agent must be used for the CO functional
gas test.
1.
Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO
alarm.
2.
Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal
operation.
3.
Set the control panel to sensor test mode.
4.
Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps
three times (approximately 10 seconds), and then release
the button. The unit will enter the functional gas test mode.
The Power LED will blink once per second while in
functional test mode.
5.
Apply UL approved CO test agent to the slit as shown in
Figure 7 below. When CO is detected, the unit will activate
a CO alarm. The unit will send RF test packets to the
control panel when the CO alarm is activated.

6.
The control panel will beep and display the number of RF
packets received.
7.
At the control panel, exit sensor test mode.
8.
Exit functional gas test mode:
Press and release the Test/Hush button; or
A 2-minute timeout will automatically cause the CO to
return to normal operating mode.
