Suburban DynaLine Owner's Manual 04/2021 Rev.4
Trouble Feature:
When the sensor supervision is in a trouble condition (e.g. such as a sensor that has been tampered with, or the cell itself has prematurely
dried out due to environmental conditions, etc.), the detector will send a trouble signal to the panel. The detector must then be replaced.
The green LED turns off and the red LED blinks every minute when the detector is in trouble.
End of Life Timer Feature:
When the detector has reached the end of its life, the trouble contact will open. This indicates that the CO sensor inside the detector has
passed the end of its life and must be replaced. This detector’s lifespan is approximately six years from the date of manufacture. The
green LED turns off when the detector is in trouble. Periodically check the “Replace by” sticker located under the detector cover. The
detector must be replaced by this date. Order a replacement CO Detector number 233207 from the installer of the PTAC or the selling
dealer.
CAUTION
Airborne dust particles can enter the detector. Suburban recommends the installation of Dynaline units with System Sensor
carbon monoxide detectors after construction or any other dust producing activity.
TESTING
Detector must be tested after installation.
Test the detector as follows:
1.
A test button is located on the detector housing (see Figure 14)
2.
Use the tip of your finger to press and hold the test button.
3.
If the sounder beeps and the LEDs light up after 1-4 seconds, the detector is operational.
If detector fails the above test method, its wiring should be checked. If the detector still fails after rewiring, it should be replaced.
Resetting the CO detector:
This Dynaline unit with integrated CO detector is equipped with a manual reset button located at the plate immediately to the left of the
CO detector. The manual reset button is identified by a label on the plate. When the test/ hush button on the CO detector is depressed
the detector will audibly alarm, the green LED will extinguish and the red LED will flash. Power to the DL gas valve will be interrupted and
the gas valve will close. Following the required test of the CO detector, it will be necessary to depress the manual reset button to reset the
CO detector and allow the DL unit to reopen the gas valve circuit.
What to do if the carbon monoxide detector goes into alarm:
Should the CO detector go into alarm mode due to the detection of CO the power to the gas valve will be interrupted and the gas valve
will close. Do not ignore the alarm and shutdown. Immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available, preferably outdoors. Find a
phone in an area where the air is safe and call your building manager and ask them to have the Dynaline unit and/or other fuel burning
appliances in the dwelling checked for proper operation. Do not return to a room or dwelling where the CO detector continues to alarm.
After the cause of the alarm is determined and corrected, it will be necessary to depress the manual reset button to reset the CO detector
and allow the DL unit to reopen the gas valve circuit.
DETECTOR REPLACEMENT
WARNING
Remove Power before replacing detector.
This detector is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide sensor. Over time the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to
be replaced with a new System Sensor carbon monoxide detector. This detector’s lifespan is approximately six years from date of
manufacture. Periodically check the detector’s replacement date.
Using a small, flat screw driver, push in the small tab located on the
underside of the detector. Once the snap is loosened, lift the bottom end of the cover up and unhinge the top to remove the cover. With
the cover
removed, refer to the sticker placed on the inside of the detector. The sticker will indicate the date that the detector shall be
replaced. This detector is also equipped with a feature that will open the trouble relay once it has reached the end of its useful life. If this
occurs, it is time to replace the detector.
CAUTION
This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the
detector. Do not open or tamper with the detector as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against the
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly wired. The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This carbon monoxide detector is
NOT
:
•
Designed to detect smoke, fire or any gas other than carbon monoxide
•
To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning appliance or the sweeping of chimneys
•
To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable alarm for the spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning appliances or
chimneys.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels are burnt. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore
impossible to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions in a room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by appliances should not be dangerous.
