13. TROUBLESHOOTING

1. ALARM DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TEST BUTTON:

(1) Check that the green mains power light is on. If it is off check the wiring, fuse,
circuit breakers etc.

(2) Hold the test button down for at least 5 seconds.

2. ALARM BEEPS AND AMBER LIGHT FLASHES EVERY 40 SECONDS:

If the alarm beeps and the amber fault light flashes every 40 seconds, the CO sensor
is probably defective. Press the test/hush button to reset the unit. If the beeping and
the amber light flashing re-occurs replace the unit.

3. AMBER LIGHT FLASHES EVERY 40 SECONDS

The unit has been operating for up to 6 years and must be replaced.

4. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:

Follow the detailed instructions on page 4. entitled

“What to do when the alarm

sounds”.

If there are still problems:

(1) Ensure there are no fuel-burning appliances in the vicinity which could be leaking

CO gas (e.g. even from next door).
