Installing the
CO Alarm
After successful programming, install the CO alarm at the intended location.
To install the CO alarm:
•
Using the installation guidelines on Page 2, plug the CO alarm into the lower socket of an
electrical outlet at the desired location. The green power light appears.
For maximum protection, allow the unit to initialize for one hour after installation.
Note
If the green power light does not turn on, unplug the unit and refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.
Testing the CO
Alarm with the
Control Panel
Before testing the CO alarm, ensure that your control panel is set to SENSOR TEST
mode. Set-
ting your panel to sensor test mode prevents an alarm signal from being reported to the central
monitoring station. If you elect
not
to set your panel to sensor test mode, contact the central mon-
itoring station prior to testing and inform operators not to dispatch emergency services.
The following steps provide a general guideline for testing the CO alarm. Refer to the specific
panel
installation instructions
for complete testing details.
1)
Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO alarm.
2)
Make sure the green power light is on.
3)
Set the control panel to SENSOR TEST mode.
Note
If you do not set your panel to sensor test mode, an alarm signal will be reported to the central monitor-
ing station. Contact the central monitoring station prior to testing and inform operators not to dispatch
emergency services.
4)
Unplug the CO alarm for 10 seconds.
5)
Plug in the CO alarm and wait five seconds. Next, press and hold the TEST/RESET button
for five to seven seconds; the unit beeps, a red alarm light flashes, and a transmitter inside the
CO alarm transmits a Tamper/Alarm signal that the panel can receive.
Note
Intermittent beeps with flashing green and red lights indicate the CO alarm is malfunctioning. Refer
to the “Troubleshooting” section.
6)
Listen for the appropriate beeps (varies by panel) from interior sirens before releasing the test
button.
7)
At the panel, exit the SENSOR TEST mode by entering the disarm command.
