General Warnings About Carbon Monoxide Gas This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, or any other gas types. The alarm also is equipped with Supplemental Temperature Sensing.
Understanding the Dangers of CO Gas Poisoning The following symptoms are related to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and need to be discussed with ALL members of the household: 1. Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms). 2.
Recommended Locations for your CO Sensor Hallways. A CO sensor is required to be centrally located outside of each sleeping area, and on every level of the home. If your hallway is longer than 40 feet, install a CO sensor at both ends. Bedrooms.
Areas Not Appropriate for CO Sensors Kitchens. Do not install within 5 feet (1.5m) of kitchen appliances. The by- products of cooking food can affect the performance of the CO sensor. Garages. Do not install in garages. Exhaust gases from idling vehicles in an open or closed garage can trigger the CO sensor.
Complete Home Protection Applied Fire Technologies recommends complete home fire/safety protection. This can be best achieved by installing a combination of Smoke, CO, Heat Sensors, BedShakers, Water Sensors and a Comm Link in the appropriate locations throughout the home. Recommended BedShakers...
CO Sensor Features and Functions Power Indicator Light (Green) On the CFCO10, the POWER icon will briefly flash once every 30 seconds when the unit has been activated. Warning Light (Red) WARNING will flash rapidly when a CO sensor detects sufficient levels of CO gas.

If this occurs, replace the unit. Silencing Nuisance Alarms The CFCO10 sensor is equipped with a silence feature that can silence the unit. If during normal operation the alarm is triggered, and all appropriate safety precautions are being taken, the sensor can be silenced for six minutes by pressing the button on the front face of the unit.
Deactivating the CFCO10 Sensor When the unit’s End-of-Life signal occurs, the CO sensor must be deactivated and disposed of properly. Be sure and have a replacement unit available. If the CO sensor’s End-of-Life signal has begun, remove the unit from its bracket.
Creating Your Wireless Network The CFCO10 Sensor communicates on its own private home network. This network is created simply by powering up new sensors one at a time. Activate your first CO sensor by moving the slide switch located on the back side of the unit in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Adding a Sensor to Your Wireless Network To add a sensor(s) to your existing home network, perform the following steps. Select any sensor on the existing network. Press and hold the button on the front cover of the alarm. The red WARNING light (FIRE if alarm is a smoke sensor) will flash rapidly and the unit will sound three or four tones.
Removing a CO Sensor from a Wireless Network In the event that a sensor must be removed from your network, the sensor’s network data must be erased from its memory. Press and hold the button on the front cover of the sensor.
Choosing the Mounting Location in a Room BEST Center on ceiling. Note: Avoid placement of sensors close to ceiling fans or heating/air conditioning vents. ACCEPTABLE On ceiling ACCEPTABLE On wall, at least 4” (10cm) from ceiling, and at least 3 feet (0.9m) from the floor. Minimum 3’...
How to Mount the CO Sensor Mark Place the mounting bracket against the ceiling or wall, and using the mount- ing bracket as a template, mark the top and bottom holes with a pencil. Mount the Bracket Wood If wood is present behind the drywall, a pilot hole can ease installation, but is not required.
