Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds - Interlogix SDX-135Z User Manual

2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the
Alarm Sounds
NOTE: This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, but will receive and transmit a CO alarm signal
(four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds) from an interconnected CO or combination smoke /
CO alarm/detector.
Carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED
blinks in time with alarm pattern.

1) Operate the Test/Hush button. NOTE: Pressing the button on the initiating alarm unit (green LED flash-
ing every second) will silence the alarm notification, including all interconnected units. If the unit goes
into alarm mode again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a
dangerous situation.
2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911).

3) Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door / window. Do a head count to check that
all persons are accounted for. Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have
difficulty recognizing the importance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area
without help. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergen-
cy services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its
normal condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a
qualified appliance technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances,
and to inspect for proper operation of equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any com-
bustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer's instructions, or contact
the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicles are not, or have not been, operating in a garage attached or adjacent to the residence. Never
restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.
