Carbon Monoxide poisonous
gas alarm
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’ below).
• Silence the loud 85dB (at 1 meter (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, battery
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 smoke, for example
an extinguished candle or match, will
not contain sufficient levels of carbon
monoxide to obtain a response from the
detector during this test. Please note your
CO detector will not detect smoke.
CAUTION: Sensor testing should only be
performed by a responsible adult. This test
should only be performed once a month.
Excessive testing will cause the life of the
power pack to be shortened.
NOTE: CO test kits may be used in order
to avoid having to burn cigarettes, incense
sticks etc. However we recommend that
incense sticks are used as they are cheap
and readily available.
• Read all steps thoroughly before
attempting the sensor test.
Step 1 If the detector is wall or
ceiling mounted unhook the detector
from the screws.
Step 2 Cover the sounder vents with
one hand. Press and hold the Test/Reset
button down with your thumb/finger until
the Fault LED illuminates yellow and the
sounder sounds for a second time (this
should happen after around 5 seconds).
Release the Test/Reset button. Upon
releasing the Test/Reset button the Fault
LED will flash yellow once every second.
This indicates that the sampling rate of the
detector has increased and can be tested
using a known source of CO.
Step 3 Light a cigarette or an incense
stick using a match or lighter. If using
an incense stick be sure to blow out the
