3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in
the TESTING THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the
control system’s instructions for additional information concerning the
use of wireless devices.
DO NOT
attach the detector to removable ceiling panels.
NOTE:
Two warning labels are provided in the detector box. Please stick
one next to the CO detector and another near to a source of fresh air where
members of the household will gather if alarm signal sounds.
then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.

Installation du détecteur
CAUTION
Airborne dust particles can enter the detector.
Apollo
recommends the removal
of detectors before beginning construction or any other dust producing activity.
Carbon monoxide detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
Tamper Protection
This detector has a built-in tamper switch that will cause a Tamper signal to be
displayed at the console of the alarm system if it is removed from its mounting
base.
The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm includes a tamper resistant feature that
prevents removal from the mounting base without the use of a tool. To engage
the tamper resistant feature, cut the small plastic tab located on the mounting
base and then install the detector. To remove the detector from the base once
it has been made tamper resistant, use appropriate screwdriver to depress
the square tamper release tab located on the skirt of the mounting base
and turn the detector counterclockwise.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is under-
going maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the detector will
activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test function cannot be
used if the detector has a trouble or end-of-life condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm panel
will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder begins the
temporal 4 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s keypad should
display the detector’s name in alarm.
CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection
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 installed.
CAUTION:
This device will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas
at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect carbon monoxide
gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke,
re
or other gases unless the product has been investigated and determined to
comply with applicable requirements.
This device should not be installed as a substitute for proper installation, use,
and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation
and exhaust systems.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels
are burned. 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 appli-
ances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monox-
ide released into the room by appliances should not be dangerous.
Conditions that can result in transient CO situations:
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by
- outdoor ambient conditions, such as wind direction and/or velocity,
including high gusts of wind, and insuf
cient draft in the vent pipes,
- negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans,
- simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing
f
for limited internal air,
- loose vent pipe connections from fuel-
red appliances,
- obstructions, or unconventional vent pipe designs that can amplify
the above situations,
- poorly designed or maintained chimneys and/or vents,
2. Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven,
replace, etc),
3. Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gases near the ground,
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
The following symptoms may be related to
CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
and should be discussed with ALL members of the household:
-
Mild exposure:
Headache, running nose, sore eyes, often described as ‘
u-like’
symptoms
-
Medium exposure:
Dizziness, drowsiness, vomiting
-
Extreme exposure:
Unconsciousness, brain damage, death
Many causes of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while
victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented that they are
unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance.
Also, young children and pets may be the
rst to be affected.
WARNING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which
provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under
30 ppm.
WARNING
Actuation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which
can KILL YOU.
If alarm signal sounds, four beeps:
1. Operate hush/test button.
2. Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open window.
3. Check all persons are accounted for.
4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door/window until
the emergency services’ responders have arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
5. Call your emergency local service,
re department or 911
6. If service signal sounds, one chirp, then check the service section to try and
correct.
7. After following steps 1-6, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period,
repeat steps 1-6 and call your local quali
ed technician to investigate for sources
of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances and inspect for proper opera-
tion of this equipment. If problems are identi
ed during this inspection, have the
equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected
by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the
manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equip-
ment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an
attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
The premises should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or
similar contaminants are used.
DETECTOR REPLACEMENT
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 carbon
monoxide detector. The detector’s lifespan is 5 years from the date of
manufacture.
NOTE:
When the detector is removed from its base, a Tamper message is sent to
the central station.
The detector will also cause a trouble condition once it has reached the end of its
useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace the detector.
NOTE:
Before replacing the detector, notify the proper authorities that main-
tenance is being performed and the system will be temporarily out of service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent any unwanted
alarms. Dispose of the detector in accordance with any local regulations.
NOTE:
The replacement date that appears on the device is the date beyond
which the device may no longer detect carbon monoxide accurately and should
be immediately replaced.
CAUTION
It should be noted the installation, operation, testing and maintenance of the
Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm is different than smoke detectors. Per NFPA
720 section 5.3.7.2 the detector shall not be connected to a zone that signals
a
re condition (i.e. smoke detectors zones). Therefore, the Wireless Carbon
Monoxide Alarm must be programmed as a non-
re zone. See the control’s
Installation Instructions for the appropriate carbon monoxide zone type to be
programmed.
