Activating the Carbon
Monoxide Alarm
See diagram below
Your detector comes complete with an
integrated power pack that will provide power
for its entire operational life. To activate the
power pack you need to pull the disabling tab
(see image). This will in turn pull out the metal
disabling clip, which is attached to the end
of the tab, from the disabling socket which
is situated on the underside of the detector.
Retain the disabling tab for future use by
taping it to page 20 of the CO-9X user manual.
Normal operation of the alarm
When the detector is activated the Power LED
will begin to flash green once every minute to
indicate that the detector is receiving power
from the power pack and is fully operational.
Testing the alarm
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry
by pressing and holding the centre of the
Test/Reset button briefly to confirm that the
detector is operating properly. The sounder will
sound as soon as the button is pressed, and
the Alarm LED will illuminate red indicating that
the sounder is working and the power pack is
providing power to the unit. This test for the
sounder, power pack and circuitry should be
performed on a weekly basis. This should be
continued for the lifetime of the product.
!
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to
the sounder in close proximity to your ears
may damage your hearing. Under normal
operating conditions, the power pack will
last for the lifetime of the product i.e 7 years.
The detector will not protect against the risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning when the
power pack has drained.
Sensor testing
The alarm manufacturer recommends that this
is carried out monthly. See of the CO-9X user
manual for more details.
CO alarm operation when CO detected
The higher the concentration of carbon
monoxide detected by the detector, the
quicker it will respond. When sufficient carbon
monoxide is detected a loud audible signal (85
dB at 1m (3 feet)) will be emitted and the Alarm
LED will flash red once every second.
The Alarm will sound:
• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed
to a minimum of 50ppm of CO.
• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed
to a minimum of 100ppm of CO.
• Within 3 minutes when exposed to a
minimum of 300ppm of CO.
Fault / low power pack signal
The unit continuously checks the settings of
its sensor and circuitry. If any of these settings
are found to be incorrect or if the power pack
becomes low then the detector will emit a
single chirp once per minute and the Fault LED
will flash yellow once per minute for up to 30
days.
!
WARNING: This does NOT mean that
the detector has detected carbon monoxide.
