Sealed Lithium Battery Powered

Low Level CO Monitor with LCD

Digital Display, Single Station

The UL 2034 standard for residential carbon monoxide (CO) alarms does

not permit listed CO alarms to automatically display or alarm at CO levels

below 30 PPM. The Defender LL6170 is designed to provide added

protection for older adults, pregnant women, young children, and persons

with medical conditions who may be more vulnerable to lower CO levels,

and is not UL listed. When installed in residential applications, this monitor

should supplement, not replace, a UL listed CO alarm.

ATTENTION:

Please read all instructions before installation and save this

manual for future reference.

Page 7 4. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas. HOW IS CO GENERATED? Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, boilers, water heaters, space heaters, fireplaces and wood burning stoves are the major cause of high CO levels in a building.
Page 8 RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF MONITORS CO poisoning can happen anywhere in the building. CO monitors should be installed onto an interior wall, five feet off the floor, and on every heated and air conditioned level of the building. At the minimum, install CO monitors: 1.
Page 9: Locations To Avoid
6. LOCATIONS TO AVOID NEAR A COOKING AREA: Do not install the monitor within five feet of any cooking appliances. CO may be generated in the cooking process and cause nuisance alarms. Also, cooking grease can build up on the monitor and cause monitor failure. Any monitor that is installed near a commercial cooking area should be cleaned at least once every month, or more frequently if needed.
Page 10 CO monitor will not be activated. The Defender LL6170 is a sealed lithium battery powered wall mounted Low Level CO Monitor. Two lithium battery cells are permanently sealed with soldered connections, and cannot be removed.
Page 11: Functions And Operation
8. FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION OPERATION: The CO monitor is operational once the activation switch is slid to ON position. If the monitor’s power is active, the LCD readout will continuously display 0 PPM, or the current CO level if 5 PPM or more is detected. LOW BATTERY CONDITION: When battery power drops to a low voltage level, the monitor will chirp once per minute,...
Page 12 DISPLAY MEMORY BUTTON: To manually display the highest CO level detected, press the button once. The LCD will display the recorded data in the DISPLAY MEMORY following order: 1. The highest (peak) CO level detected within the last 30 days from 5 to 500 PPM. 2.

turned off during the first 30 days of the “End-of-Life” signal activation. After 30 days, the monitor will return to its normal “End-of-Life” condition; 1 chirp per minute, SERVICE LED lights for 1 second at the same time, and continuously displays “End”. To test the monitor during an “End-of-Life”...
Page 14 pressing the button, so that a supervisor or head of household will be Test/Reset/Mute alerted that an alarm was activated earlier. If building has been temporarily vacant and you return to find a monitor sounding, do not enter building. Call Fire Department from another location. Do not re-enter the building for any reason until you have been assured that it is safe to do so.
Page 15: Good Safety Habits
leaseholders and renters should have adequate insurance to protect everyone’s health, lives and property. 12. GOOD SAFETY HABITS DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE: Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each room within the building.
Page 16 To remove the monitor for service or disposal, unscrew the mounting screw from the top center of the monitor, and slide the monitor up and off mounting plate. Insert a small flat-head screwdriver into the slot, pry out the deactivation Stop, and slide the switch to farthest left end to deactivate the monitor.
