Do not cover or obstruct visual alarm LED. Doing so may adversely affect product performance and 

result in sickness or 

death.

TROUBLE INDICATOR

Internal failure of the CM-16A will cause an open circuit in the normally closed (NC) Trouble Relay to provide for actuation of 
the control panel circuits. The status LED will flash AMBER. See ERRORS section. The CM-16A microprocessor continuously 
monitors various detector parameters. Failure of the CM-16A’s internal power supply or a lack of power to the detector will 
result in the status light remaining OFF (not illuminated). In this case, the most common cause of detector trouble would be a 
break in the wiring between the control panel and the CM-16A.

ERRORS

The CM-16A continuously monitors various internal operating parameters. If a problem is found, the unit will switch to Trouble 
mode. See TROUBLE INDICATOR section. To reset the unit for normal operation, press the TEST/RESET switch, or remove 
power to the unit, wait a few seconds, then re-apply unit power. If this problem persists, your detector requires repair; contact 
the alarm panel installer or 3M™ Macurco™ Tech Support for advice. If repair is required, return the unit to manufacturer to 
comply with warranty.

MAINTENANCE

Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this detector. This detector contains no user 
serviceable parts, and substitution of components may adversely affect product performance and 

result in sickness  

or death.

The CM-16A has a long life solid state sensor. The CM-16A will go into a Trouble Fault when the sensor has expired. All 
maintenance and repair of products manufactured by 3M™ Macurco™ are to be performed at the 3M Macurco Service Center. 
3M™ Macurco™ does not sanction any third-party repair facilities.

TESTING

The CM-16A should be tested monthly by pushing the TEST/RESET switch; see TEST/RESET switch. Normally this will be the 
only test required for the CM-16A and is the recommended way to test the unit or units after installation. All CM-16A units are 
factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation. The unit also has the ability to automatically self test and does so 
every 2 1/2 minute cycle. If the unit detects an improper voltage or inoperable component it will default into Trouble mode. See 
TROUBLE INDICATOR section. Check that the CM-16A status indicator light is illuminated (GREEN) continuously. If not, do not 
proceed with the tests. Though there is no field calibration procedure for this unit, there is an optional field test procedure

.

 

CLEANING

The CM-16A should be cleaned using the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. The CM-16A should be tested after 
cleaning to ensure the unit is operating normally. 

SENSOR POISONS

The gas sensor in the detector is designed with extreme sensitivity to the environment. As a result, the CO sensor may be 
damaged if it is exposed to a direct spray from aerosols such as paints, silicone vapors, etc., or to a high density of corrosive 
gases such as hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide for an extended period of time. The sensor may react to chemicals such as 
ammoniated cleaning agents, volatile solvents and hydrogen gas. In sufficient concentration, these chemicals may cause a 
false alarm.

CAUTION:

 This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may 

be present in other areas. Accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or similar 
contaminants are used.
