This user manual contains important information about your combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm's operation. То ensure proper use and trouble-free operation, please read this manual carefully and store it in а safe place for future reference.
AII X-Sense combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarms conform with regulatory requirements, including UL 217 and UL 2034 standards and are designed to detect both smoke and carbon monoxide.
This unit adopts photoelectric technology to detect smoke which is generally more sensitive than ionization technology. lt is effective at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced in greater amounts by smoldering fires. These types of fires may smolder for hours before bursting into f1ame. Sources of these fires may include cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.
Carbon monoxide (СО) is odorless, tasteless and invisible- it's а silent killer. Using electrochemical sensing technology, this unit can detect increased levels of carbon monoxide early, protecting your family from the dangers of carbon monoxide.
NOTE: For maximum protection, use smoke and СО alarms оп each level and in every bedroom of your home.

How to Set Up and Interconnect Wireless Alarms
All X-Sense Link* wireless interlinked alarms contain a built-in RF module that enables you to wirelessly connect 2 or more interlinked alarms and create an interlinked network. When one unit is triggered, all interconnected alarms will sound. The X-Sense Link* series contain wireless interlinked smoke alarms, wireless interlinked carbon monoxide alarms, and wireless interlinked smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. This model is designed to be wirelessly interlinked with other X-Sense Link* alarms, but is not designed to communicate with wireless interlinked alarms from other manufacturers.
The X-Sense Link* wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected, and the alarms in each multi-pack have their own independent interlinked network. If you have more than one multi-pack, you will need to connect them all to the same network. Choose one multi-pack as your base network and connect the other multi-packs to it.
NOTE: The following instructions regarding wireless interconnection are applicable to the X-Sense Link* wireless interlinked alarms only.
NOTES
How to Disconnect
Press the test/silence button 4 times, the alarm will beep once. Then, hold down the button until it beeps once more to disconnect. After disconnecting, it can be reconnected to the same network, or added to a new network.
NOTE: The X-Sense Link* wireless interlinked alarms in one multi-pack have already been interconnected. To create a new network, you will first need to disconnect each alarm individually in this multi-pack to avoid having them all join the same network.
X-Sense Link* wireless interlinked alarms can be interconnected such that any unit that senses danger will cause all other units in the interconnected network to alarm.
If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by Smoke:
When one smoke alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 3 times, paired with the LED that flashes red every 1.5 seconds. Any other XP01-W units will follow suit—they will beep 3 times every 1.5 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red and green in succession.
If the Initiating Unit Is Triggered by CO:
When one CO alarm is triggered in the interconnected network, the unit will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED flashing red. Any other XP01-W units in the network will follow suit—they will beep 4 times every 5.8 seconds, paired with the LED that flashes red 4 times first, followed by the LED that flashes green once with every beep. When the CO concentration level drops below the alarm threshold, the alarm will cease.
NOTES
Be sure to test your alarms when you turn them on for the first time, or if the group configuration has changed. In addition to the weekly tests you should perform, it is recommended to test the alarm after returning from a long trip or vacation. If your X-Sense Link* XPO1-W is interconnected to other X-Sense wireless alarms, we recommend that every individual alarm be tested during the weekly test.

Locations to Avoid
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Mounting Steps
NOTE: Before installation, it is recommended to test the interconnected alarms in the rooms where you intend to install them to ensure that they are within transmission range and that nothing will interfere with their communication.
To keep your smoke/CO alarm in good working order, follow these simple steps:
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build-up of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) level and interferes with the body's ability to supply itself with oxygen.
Depending on the concentration, CO can kill in minutes. The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning gas appliance used for heating and cooking, vehicles running in an attached garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel powered tools and operating a grill in an enclosed space.
Indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness and confusion. Everyone is susceptible to the danger of CO, but experts agree that unborn babies, small children, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are at the highest risk for serious injury or death. Every year a qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents, chimney, and flues.
The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "flu-like" symptoms).
Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building, or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarization with the effects of each level is important.
Following Conditions Can Result in Transient CO Situations:
PROBLEMS | SOLUTIONS |
The alarm does not sound during a test |
|
False alarms are triggered intermittently when residents are cooking, taking showers, etc | Check the location of your alarm (see "Installation Locations'). |
Clean the alarm (see "Maintenance'). | |
The LED flashes yellow once every 60 seconds with one beep. | The battery is low. Push the test/silence button once to silence for 10 hours. Replace the alarm immediately. |
