 High 

Under normal working conditions this LED is off.  
If the concentration of Carbon Dioxide (CO

2

) in the air is at alarm level (CO2 Monitors sold 

separately), the LED will show illuminate and the Gas valve will turn off.  
OFF = OK  
ON = the concentration of CO

 Mode 

 

The ‘CO

2

 Mode’ button located on the front of the panel will only be available to use when ‘Fan fault’ LED 

illuminates. To enable CO

2

 Mode, this button has to be pressed for 5 seconds. The Fan Fault LED will go 

off and CO

2

 Mode LED will come on. In this mode, the Merlin 2000S will monitor only the CO

2

 levels to 

ensure there is a safe working environment and allow the gas valve to open for 8 hours each time CO2 
Mode is activated provided CO

2

 levels are safe. 

 
At the end of 8 hours, the gas valve will close and CO

Mode LED will be flashing.  

To reinstate the system the panel has to be restarted. 
  

 

CO2 Mode will be permanently disabled if a CO2 monitoring device is not connected.
