SAFETY & SECURITY
Understanding the Product’s Indicators
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.
IMPORTANT: This does NOT mean that the
detector has detected carbon monoxide.
If the product is still within warranty then
contact technical support. If the product is no
longer in warranty replace immediately!
IMPORTANT: The selected power pack was
chosen to provide power beyond the lifetime
of the product, in particular the sensor (under
normal operating conditions). The sensor life
is seven years, for this reason, the detector
should be replaced after seven years from
the date of installation.

Maintaining/Testing Your Detector
Maintenance
Your detector will alert you to potentially
hazardous CO concentrations in your home
when maintained properly. To maintain your
FireAngel detector in proper working order
and to ensure that the sensor will last for the
lifetime of the product, it is recommended
that you:
• Test the sounder, power pack and
circuitry of your detector at least once per
week by pressing the Test/Reset button
briefly.
• Perform the Sensor Test annually.
• Keep the detector free of dust by gently
vacuuming the case with a soft brush
attachment when required.
To prevent the possibility of contaminating
the sensor in your detector and thus affecting
its reliability.
• Never use cleaning solutions on your
detector. Simply wipe with a slightly
damp cloth.
• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near the
detector.
• Do not use any solvent based products
near the detector.
• Move the detector to a safe location and
store in a plastic bag before painting, wall
papering, or performing any other
activities using substances that emit
strong fumes. Remember to remove it
from the bag and replace the detector
when these activities are finished.
Failure of any test should be reported to the
technical support line.
Do not attempt to repair your CO detector. Do
not remove any screws or open the main
casing of your detector. Any attempt to do so
may cause malfunction and will invalidate the
warranty.
What to do in the event of an alarm
WARNING: A loud alarm is a warning that
unusually high and potentially lethal levels of
carbon monoxide are present. Never ignore
this alarm, further exposure can be fatal.
Immediately check residents for symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning and contact the
proper authorities to resolve all CO problems.
NEVER IGNORE ANY ALARM.
