detector from the wall fixing screws.
2. Cover the sounder vents with one hand
and hold the Test/Reset button down with
your thumb/finger until the power LED
illuminates green and the sounder sounds
for a second time. (This should happen
after 5 seconds). Release the Test/Reset
button and the power LED will flash green
once every second. This indicates that the
sampling rate of the detector has increased
and can be tested using a known source of
CO.
3. Light an incense stick or a cigarette using a
match or a lighter. If using an incense stick,
be sure to blow the flame out so that the
incense stick is smouldering. Extinguish
the lighter, or put out the match and place
it into a dish of water.
4. Turn the detector on its side so that the
vents on the right hand side of the detector
are pointing downwards. Hold the burning
incense stick or cigarette around 15 cm
(6 inches) below the detector, so that the
smoke enters the vents on the side of
the detector. An increase in the localised
carbon monoxide level within the sensor to
more than 50ppm will cause the sounder
to sound for one cycle of four loud beeps
and the Power LED to illuminate green for
a short time. This is the end of the test. The
Power LED will no longer flash green every
second but will revert to flashing once
every minute as the detector will go back
to normal operating mode (it may take up
to two minutes of exposure to the smoke
for the localised level of carbon monoxide
within the sensor to reach over 50ppm).
Now move the source of CO away from the
detector as the test is finished.
5. Put out the incense stick or cigarette by
placing it into a dish of water. Ensure all
flames have been extinguished.
NOTE: If the localised CO level within
the sensor does not reach 50ppm
during the test, the sensor test will
stop automatically after 3 minutes.
Understanding your product's indicators
The higher the concentration of carbon
monoxide detected by the detector, the
quicker it will respond. When sufficient carbon
monoxide is detected a loud audible signal
(85dB at 1m/3ft) will be emitted and the alarm
LED will flash red once every second.
The alarm will sound:
• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed
to 50ppm of CO
• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed to
100ppm of CO
• Within 3 minutes when exposed to 300ppm
or more.
Fault/low battery signal:
The unit continuously checks the settings of its
sensor and circuitry. If any of these settings
are found to be incorrect or if the batteries
become low then the detector will emit a
single audible chirp once per minute for up
to 30 days. This does NOT mean that the
detector has detected carbon monoxide.
If the device continues to chirp despite having
new batteries and the product is still in warranty
then contact technical support for advice. If
the device is no longer in warranty replace it
immediately.
Maintaining/Testing Your Detector

maintain your FireAngel detector in proper
working order and to ensure that the sensor
will last for the lifetime of the product, it is
recommended that you:
• Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry of
your detector once per week by pressing
and holding the Test/Reset button for 1
second.
• Perform the sensor test annually.
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently
vacuuming with a soft brush attachment
when required.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating the
sensor in your detector and thus affecting its
reliability:
• Never use cleaning solutions on your
detector. Simply wipe with a damp cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near to the
