See Section 14 for information regarding service.
END-OF-LIFE CONDITION: The electrochemical sensor has a minimum five year life
expectancy. Once the battery is activated, a microcontroller monitors the total time that
the alarm is under power. After five years of service, the "End-of-Life" signal will be
activated; the alarm will chirp once per minute and the
seconds at the same time. The model CA6050 LCD will also continuously display
to indicate that the sensor life has expired and the alarm should be replaced. See
Section 14 for handling an End-of-Life alarm.
ALARM CONDITION: When the batteries are active, and CO gas is detected at a level
and duration specified in Section 3
red LED will light. The alarm signal will sound 4 short beeps every 6 seconds.
ALARM
The red LED will flash in sync with the beeping sound. The model CA6050 LCD

will also display the current CO Level detected. After having alarmed for more than 5
minutes, the alarm signal will change to 4 short beeps every 60 seconds. The alarm
signal is either manually or automatically reset. See Section 10
