The DXS-80 is a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm with a built-in transmitter
designed for use with Linear's DXS and DX Format receivers. The
detector gives warning to alert against both the acute and chronic
effects of CO poisoning. When carbon monoxide is detected, the alarm
BY
sounds a loud local alarm. When the local alarm sounds, the built-in
transmitter sends a digitally coded wireless signal to its companion
receiver every 20 seconds until the air has cleared and the detector
is restored.
The local alarm can be silenced once by pressing the TEST/RESET
button. The transmitter will continue to send an alarm signal every 20
seconds. After 7 minutes, the alarm will sound again if there is still an
unsafe CO concentration level. The reset function can be used only
once for each alarm occurrence.
The DXS transmitters are precoded at the factory to one of over a
million possible unique system codes, so no field coding is required.
Receivers must be programmed to the transmitter's code before
system testing and operation. Refer to the receiver's instructions for
details on programming.
SIGNALING
The unit is powered by one 3-volt lithium battery. The battery is supplied
with the transmitter and can power the unit for more than one year. If the
battery voltage drops below a preset level the alarm will sound a low
®
battery chirp every 45 seconds and a low battery signal will be sent to
LISTED
the receiver (some receivers can report low battery, others cannot).
When the detector reaches the end of its serviceable life (after about 6
years) a permanent trouble condition will occur and cannot be reset.
Maintenance: Occasionally clean the outside casing with a cloth.
Ensure that the holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt
and dust. Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach, or
polish on the detector.
