6. Model 8LLDCO (with digital display) 
 Operating 

Characteristics

Peak Level Memory (model 8LLDCO only)

When the Peak Level button is pressed and held, the display shows 
the highest CO reading taken by the CO alarm since 
its last reset or power up. In this example 120 PPM 
was the maximum amount of CO recorded since the 
unit was last reset.

The Peak Level display feature will display levels 
between 11-999 PPM. Although the Peak Level 
feature will display levels below 30 PPM, these levels 
will not result in an alarm no matter how long the 
device is exposed to these levels. The Peak Level feature is helpful in 
identifying if you have had a CO reading since resetting the alarm.

Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in 
normal, everyday conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30 PPM may 
be an indication of a transient condition that may appear today and 
never reappear. Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks 
but could develop into CO concentrations that may become harmful. 

If this happens, the CO alarm will detect the dangerous level and 
alarm, notifying you and others of the conditions. 

DO NOT ignore 

high concentration readings above 30 PPM or a CO alarming 
device that is in alarm.

Peak Level Memory Reset

Press the Peak Level button; with the button still pressed, press the Test/
Reset button for two seconds and release. The number on the display 
will turn to “0”, the memory will be cleared and the alarm will begin 
monitoring for CO.
