button for 1 second. The sounder should
sound as soon as the button is pressed, and
the Alarm LED will illuminate red for a short
time indicating that the sounder is working
and the batteries are providing power to the
unit. This test for the sounder, batteries and
circuitry should be performed weekly.
WARNING:
Prolonged exposure to the
sounder in close proximity to your ears may
damage your hearing.
Under normal operating conditions, the
batteries should last for at least 12 months.
The detector will not protect against the risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning when the
batteries have drained.
WARNING:
Prolonged exposure to extreme
high or low temperatures may reduce the life
of the batteries.
OPERATING FEATURES
Your detector offers many features which
set it apart from other CO detectors on the
market today.
Test/
button feature
•
Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry.
•
Allow you to test the sensor by introducing
a source of CO into the detector (see
‘Testing the sensor’ below).
•
Silence the loud 85dB sounder during an
alarm (only possible when current CO level
is less than 50ppm).
Testing the sounder, batteries and circuitry
Test the sounder, batteries and circuitry by
pressing and holding the Test/
button
for 1 second 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 batteries are
providing power to the unit. This test for the
sounder, batteries and circuitry should be
performed weekly.
Testing the sensor
CAUTION:
Sensor testing should only be
performed by a responsible adult. This
test should only be performed once a year.
Excessive testing will cause the life of the
alarm to be shortened.
NOTE:
Aerosol CO may be used in order to
avoid having to burn incense sticks.
Read all steps thoroughly before attempting
to test your the sensor.
Step 1
If the detector is wall or ceiling
mounted unhook the detector
from the screws.
Step 2
Test/
Button
Cover the sounder vents with one
hand. Press and hold the Test/
button down until the Power LED
illuminates green and the sounder
sounds for a second time (this
should happen after around 5
seconds). Release the Test/
button. Upon releasing the Test/
button the Power LED will
flash green 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 an incense stick using a
match or lighter. Be sure to blow
out the flame so that the incense
stick is smouldering. Extinguish
the lighter, or put out the match
and place it into a dish of water.
