GEMC-WL-CO Supervised Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation Instructions
the unit for at least one year. If battery voltage
drops below normal, the red LED will flash every
45 seconds and a low battery report will be sent to
the control panel. If the voltage is still below nor-
mal after 7 days, the detector sounder will chirp.
The battery should be replaced immediately. Op-
eration of the detector cannot be assured after an
additional 7 days of low-battery indication. A low-
battery report is sent to the receiver with any status
transmission.
NOTE:
Temperature and humidity extremes
may reduce the life of the battery.
Use Only Battery Specified In Marking. Use of A
Different Battery May Have A Detrimental Effect
On Detector Operation.
