Page 2: General Information
GENERAL INFORMATION: Before installing detectors, please thoroughly read these installation instructions. For detailed information on detector spacing, placement, zoning, wiring, and special applications refer to current edition of the NFPA 72 National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code. NOTICE: These instructions should be left with the owner/user of this equipment. - Page 3 WHAT TO DO IF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR GOES INTO ALARM: WARNING: Activation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of Car- bon Monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU. If Alarm sounds: 1. Operate reset/silence button; 2. Call your emergency services (_____________________) (fi re department or 911);...
- Page 4 and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an at- tached garage or adjacent to the residence. IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER: CAUTION: This alarm will indicate the presence of carbon mon oxide gas at the sensor.
- Page 5 Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not open or tamper with the detector as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly installed.
- Page 6 SYMPTOMS OF CO POISIONING: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. Carbon monoxide bonds to the hemoglobin in the blood and reduces the amount of oxygen being circulated in the body. It is a cumulative poison. Even low levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother.

Page 7: Sources Of Carbon Monoxide
SOURCES OF CARBON MONOXIDE: Home appliances used for cooking and heating are the most common household Carbon Monoxide sources. Vehicles running in an attached garage can also produce dangerous levels of CO. Burning any fossil fuel including gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, and wood can produce Carbon Monoxide. -
Page 8: General Description
The transmitter can send alarm messages to the Silent Call receivers. Refer to the Receiver sys- tem instructions for the CO alert details. The CO5-SS CO detector will alert the Silent Call Receiver only during a CO Alarm. Please refer to Maintenance Section for Low battery and End of Life conditions. - Page 9 IMPORTANT: The range and proper operation of any wireless device will vary depending on its surroundings. It is very important that each CO5-SS detector is tested with each receiver intended for alarm. Detector Description • LIsted to UL Standard 2034 •...

Page 10: Testing The Detector
During initial power-up, the red and green LEDs will blink together once every 10 seconds four times. It takes about 30 seconds for the detector’s CO sensor to stabilize (see Table 1). After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally, the green LED blinks once every 10 seconds. - Page 11 Refer to Detector Replacement section. See Table 1 above for LED and sounder mode. Low Battery Detection: The CO5-SS is powered by a single 3-volt CR123A Lithium battery. The red LED of the detector will blink every 45 seconds. After 7 days the detector’s horn will “chirp” about every 45 seconds (red LED continues to blink) for up to 30 days.

Page 12: Battery Installation And Replacement
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT: You can purchase a new 3 volt Panasonic CR123A or Duracell DL123A at many different local retail stores or directly from Silent Call Communi- cations by calling 1-800-572-5227, or online at www.silentcall.com. To replace the battery: 1. - Page 13 5800CO-001-V0 Figure 1: CO5-SS Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector CO5-SS Wireless Smoke detector will be addressed at manufacturer to Code L. You can change address due to possible cross talk between like systems. Battery must be reset for new address to resister. Note: Dip switches all ON or all OFF is NOT a valid address.

Page 14: Mounting The Detector
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR: First, determine the best location for the detector, one that provides proper carbon monoxide detection (see Figure 4 for suggested detec- tion locations) and a strong wireless transmission path. Proper Carbon Monoxide Detection Location: On a wall location, the detector should be at least as high as a light switch, and at least six inches from the ceiling. - Page 15 • Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor • Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed Good Transmission Path: A good transmission path must be established from the proposed mounting location before permanently installing the detector. To check, perform the test described in the testing signal strength section.

- Page 17 DO NOT attach the detector to removable ceiling panels. Attach the detector across panel support as shown in Figure 3. CAUTION: Airborne dust particles can enter the detector. Manufacturer recom- mends the removal of detectors before beginning construction or any other dust producing activity.
- Page 18 Tamper Protection: The CO5-SS detector includes a tamper-resistant feature that prevents removal from the mounting base without the use of a tool. To engage the tamper-resistant feature, cut the small plastic tab located on the mounting base (Figure 2), and then install the detector. To remove the...

Page 20: Functional Gas Test
FUNCTIONAL GAS TEST The CO5-SS has a functional gas test mode which can be used to verify the detector’s ability to sense carbon monoxide gas. NOTE: Check with local codes and the AHJ to determine whether or not a functional gas test is desired for an installation. -
Page 21: Maintenance
It is recommended to Test and visually inspect the CO alarm Once a week. Replace CR123A Battery at least once a year to ensure proper operation of all the CO5-SS functions. Make Note of the Replace CO detector by Date. CO detector has a life span of six years max. - Page 22 CO5-SS housing. The movement of gases into the sensing element can be impaired if a sealant blocks the porous surface of the CO sensor. The CO5-SS should not be exposed to aerosol products such as furniture polish, paint or...
