should sound as soon as the button is
pressed, and both the red LEDs will flash
indicating that the horn is working and the
battery is providing power to the unit. This
test for the horn, battery and circuitry should
be performed on a weekly basis.
Testing the Sensor
CAUTION: All sensor testing should only be
performed by a responsible adult. This test
should only be performed once a month.
Excessive testing will cause the battery life to
be shortened.
Note: CO test kits may be used in order to
avoid having to burn cigarettes, incense
sticks etc.
Please read all steps throughly before
attempting to test your alarm.
Step 1: If alarm is wall mounted remove by
unhooking unit from wall fixing screws.
Step 2: Place left thumb/finger over the
sounder vent. Hold the Test/Reset button
down with right thumbfinger until the High
Level LED stops flashing and only the Low
Level LED flashes once per second (this

should happen after around 5 seconds).
Upon releasing the Test/Reset button the
High Level LED will begin to flash twice in
quick succession every 5 seconds. This
indicates that the detector is now monitoring
continously for CO and may be tested using
a known source of CO.
Step 3: Light a cigarette or an incense stick
using a match or lighter. Extinguish the
lighter, or put out the match and place it into
a dish of water.
Step 4: Turn the alarm on its side so that the
vents nearest the Test/Reset button on the
side of the alarm are pointing down ward
(see diagram below). Hold the burning
cigarette or incense stick 15-20cm (6-8 in)
below the detector, so that the smoke moves
towards the holes in the sides of the detector.
An increase in the carbon monoxide level to
more than
100ppm will
cause the horn
to sound
momentarily
and the High
Level LED to
illuminate
continuously for
a short time
and then flash
rapiidly. (Note -
it make take up
to 2 minutes of
exposure to the
smoke for the
carbon
monoxide
levels to reach
over 100 ppm).
Step 5: After
step 4, put out
the incense stick or cigarette by placing it into
a dish of water. Ensure that all flames have
been extinguished. As the level of CO falls
the High Level LED will stop flashing and will
again continuously illuminate for a short time.
The unit will then return to sensor test mode
with the High LEvel LED flashing twice every
5 seconds.
Step 6: After four minutes the detector will
