    1. Read This First • Congratulations on becoming the owner of an Elk Carbon Monoxide Detector. This product will help protect you and your household from the dangerous effects of Carbon Monoxide- the silent killer. • Remove the battery pulltab to engage the batteries. The Carbon Monoxide Detector is powered up by carefully rotating it onto the mounting plate which activates the on/off switch. The red, amber & green lights will immediately flash in sequence to show they are working. Then wait 15 seconds after connecting the power before button testing.

  • Page 4: Carbon Monoxide - The Silent Killer

    2. Carbon Monoxide – The Silent Killer 2.1 What is Carbon Monoxide? Many people are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural gas, propane, kerosene, paraffin, wood, gasoline, diesel, charcoal etc. CO is absorbed by red blood cells in the lungs in preference to oxygen - this results in rapid damage to the heart and brain from oxygen...
  • Page 5 2.3 Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Table A Concentration of CO in Air Inhalation Time (approx) and Symptoms Developed ▲ ppm The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure in any 8 hour period according to OSHA *. Slight headache after 1.5 hours. Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea after 2-3 hours.

  • Page 7 CO present (before horn sounds): When the Detector detects over 45 ppm CO the red LED flashes in accordance with Table B. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives an immediate indication. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 45 ppm CO for typically 90 minutes for an alarm sound to be given). Note the red LED flashes may be triggered by CO produced by gas appliances, from car engines or nearby barbe- cues. This is usually not a concern, unless the red LED flashes persist until the Detector sounds and the CO source is unknown.

  • Page 9 IMPORTANT! Specific requirements for Carbon Monoxide Detector installation vary from state to state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department for current requirements in your area. 3.1 Ideally a Carbon Monoxide Detector should be installed in: - Every room containing a fuel burning appliance, and - Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time - Every bedroom.

  • Page 11 Figure 2 Figure 3 Location in rooms with sloped Location in bedrooms & other ceilings, the CO Detector should be rooms remote from the appliance located at the high side of the room (i.e. at breathing level)
  • Page 12 3.2 Unsuitable Locations Do not place the CO Detector in any of the following areas. In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance (keep it at least 3ft (1 metre) horizontally from it). Outside the building. In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a cupboard). In a damp or humid area.
  • Page 13 3.31 If locating the CO Detector in a room with a fuel burning appliance (see figure 1) • If it is mounted on a wall, it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door or window but still be at least 0.5ft (150mm) from the ceiling. •...

    Screw the mounting plate to the ceiling/ wall. 5. Alternatively, if desired, the CO Detector will also free stand on a flat surface with the mounting plate attached. 6. This CO Detector is designed for use with an ELK-M1 Control and ELK-M1XRFTWM Wireless RF Receiver. It must be RF enrolled into the M1 Control using the instructions which accompany the ELK Control and/or Receiver.

    If necessary it is possible to further secure or tamperproof the Detector by using a No.2 or No.4 3/32” to 7/64” (2 to 3mm) diameter - not supplied self tapping screw ¼” to 5/16” (6 to 8mm) long to firmly lock the Detector and its mounting plate together (see Figure 7). 5. Testing / Monitoring & Maintenance Testing Frequent testing of the system is a requirement to ensure its continued and safe operation.
  • Page 17 Monitoring The ELK-6051 CO Detector will self check (monitor) itself and give a status update every 50 seconds if there are any problems. The status of the Detector can also be checked on demand by using the test button. The table below shows the status response to both the self check and on demand testing.
  • Page 18 Use the narrow nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff and other contamination from the cover slots and gas entry holes. Caution: Do not paint the CO Detector. Remove the CO Detector when decorating. Do not allow water or dust to contaminate the Detector. Warning: Do not open or tamper with the CO Detector. There are no user serviceable parts inside and this can damage the Detector.

This guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights as a consumer.
  • Page 26 4. CO Detectors don’t last indefinitely. CO Detectors are sophisticated electronic devices with many parts. Although CO Detectors and their component parts have undergone stringent testing, and are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your CO Detectors weekly. CO Detectors must be replaced after 10 years of operation.
