1. Read This First • Congratulations on becoming the owner of an Ei Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This will help protect you and your household from the dangerous effects of Carbon Monoxide- the silent killer. • The Carbon Monoxide Alarm (CO Alarm) is powered up by carefully rotating it onto the mounting plate which activates the on/off switch.
Page 6: Carbon Monoxide - The Silent Killer
2. Carbon Monoxide – The Silent Killer 2.1 What is Carbon Monoxide ? Many people are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible, odourless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc.
Page 7 2.3 Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Table A Concentration of CO in Air Inhalation Time (approx) and Symptoms Developed The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure in any 8 hour period according to OSHA *. Slight headache after 1.5 hours. Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea after 2-3 hours.
Page 8 2.4 Pre-Alarm When the Alarm detects over 43 ppm CO the red light flashes in accordance with Table B-1 & B-2. This helps locate CO leaks as the CO Alarm gives an indication straight away. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 43 ppm CO for typically 72 minutes for an alarm sound to be given).

Page 12 - In a bedsit, the CO Alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance as possible, but near to where the person sleeps - If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO Alarm should be placed just outside the room so that the Alarm will be heard more easily.
Page 13 (13) In a bathroom or other areas where the CO Alarm may be exposed to water splashes, dripping or condensation (e.g. above an electric kettle). (14) Near paint, thinners, solvent fumes or air fresheners. 3.3 If locating the CO Alarm in a room with a fuel burning appliance (see figure 1) •...

Page 16 or boat has a single living space which incorporates the sleeping accommodation, it can be considered to be equivalent to a bedsit, and a single Alarm is sufficient. However, any sleeping accommodation which is in a separate room from the combustion appliance(s) should also contain an Alarm, located in accordance with 3.4.
Page 17: Installation
4. Installation Warning: The Installation of this CO Alarm should not be used as a subsitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel buring appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems. 4.1 Installation Procedure 1. Select a location complying with the advice in ‘Where to place CO Alarms’...
Page 18 7. Carefully line up the Alarm on the base, gently press home & twist on – see figure 4. (This Light connects the batteries). The red, amber & green lights will immediately flash in sequence to show Amber Light they are working. In addition, the icons on the LCD Green display on the Display models will briefly light up.

catch towards the ceiling) and then twist off the Alarm. If necessary it is possible to further secure or tamperproof the Alarm by using a No.2 or No.4 (2 to 3mm diameter - not supplied) self tapping screw 6 to 8mm long to firmly lock the Alarm and its mounting plate together (see figure 7) 5.
Page 20 Low Battery: When the battery is starting to be depleted the CO Alarm will beep and the Amber LED will flash every minute. The low battery beeps can be supressed for 24 hours by pressing the button. (It is recommended that this is done until either replacement batteries or a replacement CO Alarm is available so as to maintain protection against CO leaks).
Page 21 The batteries in the Ei207 series should be replaced before the “best before” date printed on the batteries is exceeded. The life will be reduced if the CO Alarm regularly goes into alarm or if it is exposed to excessive temperatures for long periods). Sensor Fault: If a sensor fault has been detected the Alarm will beep and flash the amber light 2 times every minute.
Page 22 2. If there is a fault condition the yellow LED will flash and the horn will beep in accordance to Table D. 3. If the memory has been set the Red light will flash and the horn will give a full alarm sound (see section 2 - ‘CO Alarm Memory’).
Page 23 To check the Alarm sound, momentarily press the test button and within seconds the horn will sound briefly. Slide the power switch to the OFF position and replace the Alarm on its mounting plate. Maintenance Silencing (Hush) When the Alarm sounds, after sensing CO, pressing the test/hush button will immediately stop the horn (the red light will continue to flash).
Page 24: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds
6. What to do when the Alarm sounds (1) Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area (see note). (2) Turn off all fuel appliances where possible and stop using them. (The Alarm can be silenced immediately by pushing the test/hush button provided the CO level <150ppm).
Page 25: How To Protect Your Family
7. How to Protect your Family Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. (1) Know and look out for tell-tale signs that Carbon Monoxide may be present. These include:- - The CO Alarm warning of abnormal levels. - Staining, sooting or discolouration on or around appliances.
Page 26 (5) Never leave your car, motor bike or lawnmower engine running in the garage with the garage door closed. Never leave the door from the house to the garage open if the car is running. (6) Never adjust your own gas pilot lights. (7) Never use a gas cooker or a barbecue for home heating.

Page 28: Getting The Co Alarm Serviced
These guarantees exclude incidental and consequential damage. If the Carbon Monoxide Alarm should become defective within the guarantee period, it must be returned to where it was purchased or alternatively to Ei Electronics, carefully packaged, with the problem clearly stated (see ‘Getting the CO Alarm Serviced’...
Page 29: Limitations Of Co Alarms
11. Limitations of CO Alarms (1) The CO Alarm will not work without good batteries. If the batteries have been drained the Alarm will not give protection. Button test the Alarm weekly and on return from holidays and other long absences. (2) Carbon Monoxide must enter the CO Alarm for it to be detected.
Page 30 (5) CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. House-holders are responsible for their own insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will protect everyone from CO poisoning. (6) CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning of fire.
Page 31: Troubleshooting
12. Troubleshooting ALARM DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TEST BUTTON: (1) Check the Alarm is secured correctly on the mounting plate. (2) Wait 15 seconds after connecting the power before button testing. (3) Hold button down firmly for at least 5 seconds. (4) Replace batteries (Ei207 models only).
Page 32 (6) If the Alarm is fitted with an RF Module, ensure that there are no problems with the other RF interconnected Alarms and that all Alarms are housecoded correctly. (7) Press the test/hush button to silence the Alarm. If the CO Alarm continues to sound it is possibly defective and should be replaced (see ‘Getting the CO Alarm Serviced’...
