Testing the Alarm Important Safety Information
Test the alarm to ensure proper operation.
1. Test alarm by pressing and holding the test button until it sounds.
The alarm will sound 4 short beeps – 5 seconds pause, and then
repeat until the button is released.
2. If multiple alarms are installed within the dwelling, test each alarm.
Each alarm should trigger other alarms connected within 10 seconds.
The alarm must only be tested by pressing the Test/Silence button. Do not
ignite combustible materials and start a fire. If no alarm sounds, the unit
has a defective battery or other failure. Refer to “Trouble Shooting”
section for a solution.
Caution: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand an
arms-length always from the unit when testing. Erratic or low
sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective alarm.
NOTE: WEEKLY TESTING IS REQUIRED
• The alarm may not alert every household member every time. The
alarm horn is loud in order to alert individuals to a potential danger.
However, there may be some circumstances where a household
member may not hear the alarm (e.g. excessive outdoor or indoor
noise, sound sleepers, drug or alcohol usage, the hard of hearing). If
you suspect that this alarm may not alert a household member, install
and maintain specialty alarms.
• The alarms have limitations. This alarm is not fool proof and is not
warranted to protect lives from exposure to Carbon Monoxide. The
alarms are not a substitute for insurance. Occupants should insure
their lives and property. In addition, it is possible for the alarm to fail
at any time. For this reason, you must test the alarm weekly and
replace the unit after 10 years.
• Test alarm weekly to ensure proper operation by pressing the
test button. Do not use any other test method.
•
Do not paint the alarms.
• Check the alarms on reoccupation of the premises after a vacation.
Maintenance Carbon Monoxide (CO) Overview
Cleaning
The alarm should be cleaned on a monthly basis as a minimum. To do this:
•
Turn off the electrical supply to the alarm.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with the soft brush to vacuum all sides and
covers of alarm to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Be sure all the
vents are free of debris.
•
Use a damp cloth to clean the alarms cover.
• Turn the electrical supply to the alarm on.
Battery
The battery should be replaced annually. See ‘Replacing the Battery’
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an extremely poisonous, colorless, odourless and
tasteless gas released by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as
natural gas, bottle gas, petrol, diesel, oil, paraffin, wood, coal coke and
biofuels. When inhaled, it causes chemical asphyxiation, when CO mixes
with the blood and reduces the oxygen carried around the body,
particularly to the brain. The following symptoms are typical to CO
poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the household.
Mild Exposure - Slight headache, nausea, fatigue (flu like symptoms).
Medium Exposure - Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness and vomiting.
Extreme Exposure - Unconsciousness, cardiorespiratory failure, death.
Although feeling unwell, victims of CO poisoning can become so
disorientated that they can no longer decide what to do next, including
being unable to exit the building or call for assistance. Very young
children often show symptoms earlier than adults.
Note: The CO alarm may not prevent the chronic effects of carbon
monoxide exposure, and it will not fully safeguard individuals
with specific medical conditions. If in doubt, consult a medical
practitioner.
Important Safety Information
•
This alarm must not be connected to any other manufacturer’s alarms.
• The alarm must not be exposed to dripping or splashing water.
• The alarms are designed to give audible warning of a dangerous levels
of Carbon Monoxide. The alarms do not detect any other gas.
• Commonly occurring materials, vapours or gases, e.g. in cleaning
fluids, polishes, paints, cooking operations may cause nuisance alarms.
Major interferents are acetylene, ethyl alcohol, hydrogen cyanide,
hydrogen sulfide, mercaptan, nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide.
