• 

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. 

• 

Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas 
directly exposed to the weather. 

• 

Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted 
ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the 
sensor in time to provide early warning. 

• 

Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large 
batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to 
perform at less than optimum performance. 

• 

Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not 
place the alarm where drapes, furniture, or other objects 
block the flow of air to the vents. 

Battery installation and replacement 

Note: 

Place the control panel into sensor test mode prior to 

replacing the batteries. If the control panel is not in sensor test 
mode during battery replacement, an alarm/tamper condition 
may be indicated. 

To install or replace the batteries in this alarm: 

1.  Slide the alarm body off of the mounting plate. 

2.  If replacing batteries, remove the old batteries and 

properly dispose of them as recommended by the battery 
manufacturer. 

3.  Install the new batteries. Note the polarity illustration in the 

battery compartment (see Figure 3 below).

• Energizer 

E91 

Note:

 For battery replacement information, see interlogix.com. 

Use of a different battery may have a detrimental effect on the 
alarm operation. 

Note: 

Constant exposures to high or low humidity may reduce 

battery life. 

After installing or changing the batteries, reinstall your alarm. 
Test your alarm by using the Test/Hush button and check that 
the green Power LED is on. 

Mounting the alarm 

Note: 

Verify RF performance prior to permanently mounting 

the alarm. See “RF communication test” on page 3. 

The CO alarm can be wall mounted or ceiling mounted. 

To mount the alarm: 

1.  Slide the alarm body off of the mounting plate. Place the 

mounting plate in the desired location, and mark the 
location of the two mounting holes. Orient the mounting 
plate vertically or horizontally as shown in the following
