4. CO Alarm Operation continued
Low Level Monitoring Mode
Normally, the CO alarm only signals an Alarm condition after
a gas concentration higher than 43 ppm has been present for a
period of time. It can be temporarily set to a low level monitoring
mode, to enable it to be used as a measuring device. Once this
mode is activated, the alarm will signal the presence of a CO
level higher than 10 ppm immediately.
To activate the low level monitoring mode, press and hold the
test button for 18 seconds. (During this time, the low volume and
high volume tests will be active). After 18 seconds you will see a
green and a blue light flash and hear a short chirp and you can
release the button. The low level monitoring mode is now active
for 60 minutes, which is indicated by the flashing green light
every 4 seconds.
CO concentrations higher than 10 ppm will be indicated by
a flashing blue ventilate light. XC100D will also display the
CO concentration level.
The low level monitoring mode will end automatically after
60 minutes or by pressing the button at any time.

9. Installation - Where not to put the alarm
The alarm should not be installed:
• In any outside location or where the temperature may drop
below -10°C or exceed 45°C
• In an enclosed space or where it can be obstructed
• Directly above a sink or in the immediate vicinity of a cooking
appliance
• Next to a door or window, extractor fan or air vent
• Where dirt and dust may block the sensor
• In a damp or humid location

12. Activate the Pre-Alarm function
To activate the Pre-Alarm function, which gives an early
TEST/HUSH
indication of a dangerous CO condition, press the
button five times during the first 30 seconds after switching on
TEST/HUSH
the alarm. The power light will flash each time the
button is pressed. If activation is successful, the blue
light will flash five times in conjunction with short chirps.

5. Precautions during use
The CO alarm does not require any maintenance other than to
clean the outside case occasionally with a clean tissue. Ensure that
the holes on the front of the unit are not blocked with dust or dirt.
Some common household substances can affect the sensitivity of
the CO alarm. Do not use household cleaners, polishes, perfumes
or aerosol sprays on or close to the alarm. Avoid the use of nail
polish remover, model paint or model glue close to the alarm.

The apparatus should be installed by a competent person.
Contents:
• CO alarm
• Wall mounting plate
• Fixing nail
• Instructions (this document)
Caution: The alarm must be connected to the wall mounting
plate to switch it on.
The alarm can be free standing (e.g. placed on a shelf or table), or
fixed to a wall or ceiling. There are two options for wall mounting,
either hooked onto the nail provided, or permanently fixed using
appropriate wall plugs and screws (not provided).

13. Switch off the Alarm
The alarm is switched off by removing it from the wall mounting
plate. Use a suitable tool such as a small screwdriver to press on
the tamper proof tab located at the top right edge of the alarm,
and then slide the alarm to the left to remove it from the wall

mounting plate.
14. Conformance
The CO Alarm is certified by BSI to the European standard
lights
EN 50291-1 "Electrical apparatus for the detection of carbon
monoxide in domestic premises" and EN50291-2 "Electrical
apparatus for continuous operation in a fixed installation in
recreational vehicles and similar premises including recreational
craft". It conforms to the Low Voltage Directive (LVD) and the
Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (RoHS).

Ideally, an alarm should be fitted in every room containing a
Pre-
Low Level
fuel-burning appliance. It is strongly recommended to also fit
Alarm
Monitoring
alarms in bedrooms, and in rooms where you spend a lot of time.
Mode
-
If the alarm is being fitted in the same room as a fuel-burning
~19
appliance:
minutes
• It should be located close to the ceiling and at a height greater
Immediately
~ 6
than the height of any door or window
minutes
• A ceiling mounted alarm should be at least 300 mm from any
~ 23
wall, and a wall-mounted alarm should be at least 150 mm
seconds
from the ceiling. Note: Ensure that you can access the tamper
proof locking tab.
• The alarm should be at a horizontal distance of between 1 m
and 3 m from the nearest edge of the potential source
If the alarm is being fitted in a room without a fuel-burning
appliance it should be located relatively close to the breathing
zone of the occupants.
For premises such as bedsits, caravans or boats where the
accommodation is a single living space incorporating the sleeping
area, the apparatus should be positioned as far from the cooking
appliances as possible but near to where the person sleeps.
10. Installation - Mounting the alarm
For quick wall mounting:
1. Place the wall mounting plate where you want to mount the
alarm
2. With a pencil, mark the location of the central key hole
3. Tap in the nail (provided) at the marked location
For tamper proof wall or ceiling mounting:
1. Place the wall mounting plate where you want to mount the
alarm
2. With a pencil, mark the location of the two screw holes
3. Drill holes of diameter 5 mm and insert appropriate wall plugs
4. Screw the mounting plate to the wall/ceiling
Discreet ON/OFF switch, activates

15. Troubleshooting and getting assistance
After you have carefully read all instructions and your alarm still
fails to work, contact the nearest customer service centre listed
in the "Contact Us" section. Customer service advisors may be
able to resolve your problem quickly. Alternatively contact your
local supplier.
If the product needs to be returned for repair or replacement, put
it in a padded box with a letter describing the fault and postage
paid. For battery powered devices, ensure that the alarm has been
switched off.
A proof of purchase must be provided to claim repair under
warranty.
When the unit has come to the end of its life, dispose of
it in accordance with local regulations. It is classified as
electronic waste and contains a battery and therefore
should be disposed of separately from household waste.
This Carbon Monoxide alarm is designed to alert you to a
potentially dangerous build-up of Carbon Monoxide gas. It is not
designed to remedy a Carbon Monoxide problem nor to locate a
specific source of Carbon Monoxide. Honeywell shall not be liable
to pay for any Carbon Monoxide investigation or service call
carried out or arranged in response to an alarm.
