Operation, Testing - Pro-Tech 7030-7035 Owner's Manual

6. OPERATION, TESTING:

OPERATION: The CO alarm is operational once a battery is installed and testing is
complete. The green LED will blink once per minute.
TROUBLE CONDITION: The internal microcontroller continuously monitors the sensor
and other critical components. If an internal failure of any of these components should
occur, the alarm will sound 2 short beeps per minute and the red LED will flash twice
during the beeping. The trouble condition indicates a problem with the unit. Please see
Section 11 for information regarding service.
LIFE MONITOR: The electrochemical sensor has an estimated life expectancy of 5
years. The microcontroller monitors the total time that the alarm is under power. After 5
years, the "trouble" signal will activate, indicating that the sensor life has expired.
LOW BATTERY CONDITION:
one short beep per minute and the green LED will flash.
immediately in order to provide uninterrupted protection.
information regarding battery replacement.
ALARM CONDITION: When CO gas is detected at a level and duration specified in
Section 2, the alarm will sound and the red LED will flash. The alarm signal will sound 4
short beeps every 6 seconds for 4 minutes, and thereafter 4 short beeps every minute.
MEMORY RECALL OF CO GAS DETECTED (FOR MODEL 7035): To retrieve from
memory the CO gas detected, press
seconds. The LCD will display the recorded data in the following order:
1. The current CO level detected in ppm,
2. The peak or highest CO level detected in ppm,
3. The total length of time the alarm has detected the peak CO level in minutes, and
4. The percentage of carboxyhemoglobin.
Each reading will appear for two seconds. To erase the record in memory, press
button for twelve seconds and until the alarm bursts a long beep and the display
RESET
shows "000". Disconnecting the battery from the alarm will also erase the memory.
TESTING: To test your alarm, press the
down for a minimum of 5 seconds.
approximately 400 ppm CO gas and sound the alarm if all the electronic circuitry, and
buzzer are working.
The alarm will not sound when the button is pressed, if the unit is already in the "trouble"
condition.
LCD DISPLAY FUNCTION (FOR MODEL 7035): In normal operation, the LCD display
is blank. When the alarm is activated, the LCD display will indicate the current CO level
detected in ppm.
DO NOT TRY TO TEST THIS ALARM IN ANY OTHER WAY.
If no alarm sounds during a test, check the battery power. If the alarm still does
not sound, the unit may be defective and should be returned for service (SEE SECTION
11).
TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION.
Erratic or low sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm, and it
should be returned for service (SEE SECTION 11).
When the battery voltage drops, the alarm will sound
