SAFETY & SECURITY
centre of the
Test/Reset
button briefly
to confirm
that the
detector is
operating
properly. The
sounder will
sound as
soon as the
button is
pressed and
the Alarm
LED will
illuminate red
indicating that
the sounder
is working
and the
power pack is
providing power to the unit. This test for
the sounder, power pack and circuitry
should be performed on a weekly basis.
This should be continued for the lifetime
of the product.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to the
sounder in close proximity to your ears
may damage your hearing.
Under normal operating conditions the power
pack will last for the lifetime of the product, ie.
7 years.
The detector will not protect against the risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning when the
power pack has drained.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to
extreme high or low temperature may
reduce the life of the power pack.
Power Pack Deactivation
Your CO-9X is portable, making it ideal for
taking with you on holiday. You will need to
deactivate your detector when travelling or
even when storing e.g. when decorating.
Fitting is the reverse of removal. To
deactivate the detector the two ends of the
metal clip must be inserted into the
corresponding holes in the disabling socket
located on the underside of the detector (see
Fig 2). You can ensure that the product is
disabled by pressing the test button - if there
is no sound from the sounder then the clip
has been fitted correctly.
Note: If the disabling tab is no longer
available then the clip can be replicated by
opening out a thin metal paper clip into a U-
shape.
Operating Features
Your FireAngel detector offers many features
which set it apart from other CO detectors on
the market today.
Test/Reset Button Feature
This button will:
• Test the sounder, power pack and
circuitry.
• Allows you to test the sensor by
introducing a source of CO into the
detector (see ‘Testing The Sensor’).
• Silence the loud 8.5dB (at 1 metre (3
feet)) sounder during an alarm (only for
alarms due to levels of CO of less than
50ppm)
Testing the sounder, power pack and circuitry
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry by
pressing and releasing the Test/Reset button
to confirm that the detector is operating
properly. The sounder should sound as soon
as the button is pressed, and the Alarm LED
will illuminate red indicating that the sounder
is working and the power pack is providing
power to the unit. This test for the sounder,
power pack and circuitry should be
performed on a weekly basis.
Testing the sensor
Note: We suggest the use of an incense stick
or cigarette as the inefficient way in which
these products burn means the smoke given
off contains a detectable localised amount of
carbon monoxide. Alternative sources of
