5. Limitations of CO Alarms WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals. LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS • IMPORTANT: This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect any other gas.
6. Recommended Locations for CO Alarms NOTE: CO alarms should be installed following the guidance of relevant local standards, such as EN 50292. Whether the alarm is wall-mounted or ceiling mounted, place the alarm a horizontal distance of between 1 metre and 3 metres from a fuel burning appliance. When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 150 mm below the ceiling.
7. Locations to Avoid In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your motor vehicle. Do not install alarms adjacent to, or directly above, heaters or air-conditioning vents. In very humid areas (above 90% RH, non-condensing), such as bathrooms and shower rooms. Do not install directly above a sink, or near dishwashers or washing machines.
8. Installation / Activation CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE! NOTE: YOUR CO ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON, AND IS TO BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS. After selecting the proper alarm location as described in the “Recommended Locations for CO Alarms” section, you may choose either a wall mounting or free-standing installation.
9. Operation and Testing Operation The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete (see “TESTING” below). When CO is detected, the unit sounds a loud alarm. See Section 1 for alarm signal descriptions. In high levels of CO, the unit will go into alarm in a shorter period of time than at low levels of CO.
10. Recognizing Nuisance Alarms Carbon Monoxide (CO) Nuisance RESET: Pushing the test / reset button during CO alarm allows the unit to reset calculations and double check for the presence of CO. If the unit re-alarms, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.
12. Permanently Disable Alarm / Discharge Battery WARNING: FAILURE TO DISCHARGE ALARM BATTERY AS INSTRUCTED PRIOR TO DISPOSAL MAY CREATE POTENTIAL FOR LITHIUM BATTERY RELATED FIRE OR HAZARD. WARNING: DISCHARGING THE ALARM BATTERY IS PERMANENT Once the alarm battery has been discharged, it cannot be reactivated! Once discharged, the alarm will NO LONGER DETECT CO.
13. General Carbon Monoxide (CO) Information What is Carbon Monoxide? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas with no taste, colour or smell. Potential Sources of CO This CO alarm is not a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
