HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS - GENERAL INFORMATION

•

CO Alarm contains a sealed, non-replaceable battery. Once it reaches the end of its service life, or after 10 years—whichever comes first—you must

install a new CO Alarm.

•

High temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, impact or dropping can adversely affect LCD displays.

A CO Alarm measures the CO levels in the air. It will alarm if CO levels rise quickly (if the heat exchanger on your furnace breaks, for example), or if CO is

consistently present (a slow CO leak on a fuel-burning appliance).
This carbon monoxide alarm features a permanently installed sensor, digital display with blue backlight, and an 85 dB alarm horn. It also has a silence feature to

temporarily quiet the alarm horn. During standby, the temperature is displayed in degrees F.

UL STD 2034

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

• The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct

a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after

any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm

horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While the

alarm is silenced it will continue to monitor the air for CO.

To Activate the Silence Feature:

Press and hold the Silence button until the

horn is silent.

Once you activate the Silence Feature:

the Silence cycle will last

approximately 4 minutes.

NOTE:

After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present

CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerous

-or start rising higher- the horn will start sounding again.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for 8 hours up to 7 days. You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the

Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life feature has been activated.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

TESTING & MAINTENANCE - WEEKLY TESTING

•

Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working properly, it

cannot alert you to a problem.

•

DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when

horn starts sounding.

You can test this CO Alarm by pressing the Test button on the Alarm cover until alarm chirps. The alarm horn will sound: 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The alarm

sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If the unit does not alarm, make sure it has been activated correctly, and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it

immediately.

• DO NOT try fixing the Alarm yourself – this will void your warranty! If the CO Alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty,

please see “How to Obtain Warranty Service” in the Limited Warranty. Install a new CO Alarm immediately.
•

NEVER use vehicle exhaust to test your Alarm! Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

To keep the CO Alarm in good working order:

•

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO - WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do

not produce CO.

These fuels include:

Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any

carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

Fuel-burning appliances like:

portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting:

corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged

chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device:

operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems:

“transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

INSTALLATION - WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate

vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.

In a Single-level Home:

•

Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

•

For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the

furnace or fuel burning heatsource.

In a Multi-level Home:

•

Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

•

For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of the home. If you have a

basement, install that CO Alarm at the top of the basement stairs.

•

For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the

furnace or fuel burning heat source.

In a Mobile Home:

•

Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of mobile homes often

transfer heat and cold from outdoors.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO - WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do

not produce CO.

These fuels include:

Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any

carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

Fuel-burning appliances like:

portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting:

corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged

chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device:

operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems:

“transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

INSTALLATION - WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate

vicinity of the bedrooms. For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.

In a Single-level Home:

•

Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

•

For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the

furnace or fuel burning heatsource.

In a Multi-level Home:

•

Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

•

For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of the home. If you have a

basement, install that CO Alarm at the top of the basement stairs.

•

For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the

furnace or fuel burning heat source.

In a Mobile Home:

•

Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of mobile homes often

transfer heat and cold from outdoors.

WHERE CO ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

DO NOT install this CO Alarm:

•

In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

•

Closer than 20 feet (6 meters) from a furnace or other fuel burning heat source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater.

•

Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.

•

In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility

room or other source of high humidity.

•

In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4.4˚ C) or hotter than 100˚ F (37.8˚ C). These areas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics,

uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

•

In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns, or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors.

•

In direct sunlight.

HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS - GENERAL INFORMATION

•

CO Alarm contains a sealed, non-replaceable battery. Once it reaches the end of its service life, or after 10 years—whichever comes first—you must

install a new CO Alarm.

•

High temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, impact or dropping can adversely affect LCD displays.

A CO Alarm measures the CO levels in the air. It will alarm if CO levels rise quickly (if the heat exchanger on your furnace breaks, for example), or if CO is

temporarily quiet the alarm horn. During standby, the temperature is displayed in degrees F.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

• The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct

a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after

any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm

horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While the

alarm is silenced it will continue to monitor the air for CO.

To Activate the Silence Feature:

Press and hold the Silence button until the

horn is silent.

Once you activate the Silence Feature:

the Silence cycle will last

approximately 4 minutes.

NOTE:

After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present

CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerous

-or start rising higher- the horn will start sounding again.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for 8 hours up to 7 days. You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the

Silence button. The horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life feature has been activated.
