Description
The TX-6310-01-1 wireless carbon monoxide (CO) alarm monitors
the levels of CO gas and gives early warning when potentially
dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire, smoke, or any other
gas. If a dangerous concentration of CO is detected by patented
and field-proven electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator
illuminates and an internal siren is activated in temporal 4 pattern.
The CO alarm also transmits an alarm signal to the control panel
within 15 seconds of detecting dangerous concentration of CO
gas. The control panel activates its internal siren and reports the
alarm condition to the central monitoring station (if the system is
monitored). The CO alarm also detects low battery, wall tamper,
and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted to the
control panel which reports the condition to the central
monitoring station. The alarm automatically reset when CO is no
longer detected.
The TX-6300-01-1 wireless CO alarm is Listed and compliant with
the ANSI/UL 2034 standard for CO alarms. It is intended for
residential indoor dwelling unit applications and other areas
approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not
intended for use in industrial applications.
WARNING:
After seven years from initial power up, this alarm will
beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to
replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not
detect CO in this condition.
To help identify the date to replace the alarm, a label has been
affixed to the side of the alarm. Write the “replace by” date (seven
years from power up) with a permanent marker on this label.
Alarm location
CO alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living
areas. We recommend that you install an alarm on each level of
your home.
When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can
hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one CO
alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement
or furnace room.
Place the alarm out of reach of children. Under no circumstances
should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.

Locations to avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components
in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide
optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance
alarms:
•
Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that may
expose the sensor to substances that could damage or
contaminate it.
•
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than
40
°
F (4.4
°
C) or hotter than 100
°
F (37.8
°
C) such as crawl
spaces, attics, porches, and garages.
•
Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.
(We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)
•
Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any
forced/unforced air ventilation openings.
•
Do not install on metal surfaces.
•
Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or
electrical wires.
