CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the alarm. Do not
open or tamper with the alarm as this could cause malfunction. The
5800COA will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide
poisoning if not properly installed. It will only indicate the presence of
carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.
Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This carbon monoxide alarm is NOT:
• Designed to detect smoke, fire or any gas other than carbon
monoxide
• To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning
appliances or the sweeping of chimneys.
• To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable alarm for the
spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning appliances or
chimneys.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released
when fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore
impossible to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions
in a room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the
room by appliances should not be dangerous.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
Carbon monoxide
bonds to the hemoglobin in the blood and reduces the amount of
oxygen being circulated in the body. The following symptoms are
related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be discussed with
all members of the household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
described as “flu-like” symptoms).
Medium exposure: Sever throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion,
fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory
failure, death.
Many causes of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that
while victims are aware that they are not well, they become so
disoriented that they are unable to save themselves by either exiting
the building or calling for assistance.
Also young children and pets may be the first to be affected.

WARNING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO), which can cause injury or death.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30ppm.
What to do if the 5800COA goes into alarm:
1. Push the Hush/Test button. If the alarm reactivates or the alarm
does not silence, continue with step 2.
2. Immediately move to fresh air, outdoors or by an open window.
Check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the
premises nor move away from the open door/window until
emergency service responders have arrived.
3. Call your local fire department from a phone in an area where the
air is safe.
4. If your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3
and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources
of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect
for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified
during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately.
Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician
and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the
manufacturers directly, for more information about CO safety and
this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have
not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the
residence.
IMPORTANT:
The 5800COA should be tested and maintained
regularly following CSA 6.19-01 requirements. (Generally it should be
tested at least once per month.)
MAINTENANCE
Occasionally clean the outside casing with a cloth. Ensure that the
holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust.
Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach, or polish
on the alarm.
5800COA REPLACEMENT
The 5800COA is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide
sensor. Over time the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be
replaced with a new carbon monoxide alarm. The 5800COA lifespan
is approximately six years from the date of manufacture.
The user should periodically check the device’s replacement date.
Remove the unit from its base and check the replacement date label
on the underside of the unit. The label indicates the date it should be
replaced.
NOTE:
When the unit is removed from its base, a message is sent to
the central station.
The 5800COA will also cause a trouble condition once it has reached
the end of its useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace the alarm.
NOTE:
Before replacing the alarm, notify the proper authorities that
maintenance is being performed and the system will be temporarily
out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to
prevent any unwanted alarms. Dispose of the 5800COA in accordance
with any local regulations.
CAUTION
It should be noted the installation, operation, testing and
maintenance of the 5800COA is different than smoke alarms. Per
CSA 6.19-01 the alarm shall not be connected to a zone that signals a
fire condition (i.e. fire zones). Therefore, the 5800COA must be
programmed as a non-fire zone. See the control’s Installation
Instructions for the appropriate carbon monoxide zone type to be
programmed.
