9. Timing of Installing

New Build

• Install the base plate (and surface pattress if used) at first fix.

• Do not install alarm itself until following trades have finished e.g. plas-

terers, painters, carpet fitters, etc.

• Do not install if property remains damp or unheated.

• Dust and other contaminants e.g. paint fumes, will enter the alarm

causing possible nuisance alarms and damage the sensitive compo-
nents within (it will also invalidate the guarantee provisions).

• Never plug in or remove cabling when circuit is live as you could short

circuit it and invalidate the guarantee.

11. Ongoing Maintenance

CAUTION: 

This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.

• Test the alarm once a week by pressing the Test/Reset button.

• Vacuum the alarm cover and wipe with a cloth once a month to

remove accumulated dust.

• Never use detergents or solvents to clean the alarm.  Chemicals can

permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the sensor.

• Avoid spraying air freshener, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near

the alarm.

The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the
sensor or cause temporary readings on the digital display that are not
carbon monoxide readings:

Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, tolulene, ethyl
acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxides, most aerosol
spray, alcohol based products, paint, thinner, solvent, adhesive, hair
spray, after shave lotion, perfume, auto fumes (cold start), and some
cleaning agents.

10. Decorating

Never paint the alarm.

• During redecoration, all alarms should be removed from the area to

prevent contamination of the sensor by fumes.(Fumes can permanent-
ly damage the alarm). 

Do not install or replace the alarm until the surrounding paint-
work is thoroughly dried and there are no paint fumes present.

12. Repair/Servicing

If the alarm is not functioning, first check the troubleshooting section. 

If this does not rectify the problem:

•   Ensure that the green L.E.D. is lit.

•   If within guarantee, contact your installer or landlord, or return

postage paid to the address at the end of this manual, with a
copy of the invoice or proof of date of installation.

•   There are no user serviceable parts. 

Opening/interfering with alarm, invalidates the guarantee.
