END OF ALARM LIFE WARNING
7.11.1. W
hen the alarm is at the end of its life, it gives three “beep” audible alarms every 60 seconds together with a LED visual alarm, see
fig.8.
7.12.
CALIBRATION
7.12.1. Calibration can only be carried out by a professional organisation, please
DO NOT
calibrate it yourself.
7.12.2. C
alibration is carried out on a gas concentration of 400 PPM, this will not affect the unit’s accuracy, every unit has been calibrated
before delivery.
7.12.3.
Press the TEST button down until all 3 LEDs are on, then release the TEST button, the green and yellow LEDs will turn off, only the
red LED will stay on. It signifies that the alarm is now in Calibration Mode.
7.12.4. T
he unit will now give 5 minutes in which it can be calibrated.
7.12.5. I
f the unit cannot detect any change of CO concentration within 5 minutes it will automatically exit Calibration Mode.
7.12.6. A
fter calibrating on CO gas, the 3 LEDs will flash 3 times at the same time to indicate the Calibration was successful.
NOTE:
1. The unit has a minimum CO concentration for calibrating (250 PPM minimum). If the calibration is carried out on a concentration
lower than 250 PPM, the unit will not change its previous calibration values.
2. When the CO concentration on the LCD is bigger than 30 PPM, the unit will stop entering into Calibration Mode to prevent
mis-operation.
3. If the user accidentally enters into Calibration Mode by chance, just press the TEST button to exit the Calibration Mode.
7.13.
WHEN THE CO ALARM RAISES AN ALARM
7.13.1. I
mmediately move outdoors, open all doors/windows to ventilate the area and allow the carbon monoxide to disperse.
7.13.2. W
here possible to, turn off any fuel burning appliance.
7.13.3. Evacuate the building.
DO NOT
re-enter the premises or move away from the open door/window until emergency services have

use the appliances again until they have been checked by a qualified technician, the fault located and repaired.
8. MAINTENANCE
8.1.
Replace the entire unit every 5 years.
8.1.
Your detector will alert you to potentially hazardous CO concentrations in your home when maintained properly.
8.2.
To maintain your alarm in proper working order it is recommended that you:
• Test the alarm by pressing the TEST button at least once a month.
• Clean your CO alarm regularly to prevent dust build up. This can be done with a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment once a
month. Clean gently around the grilles and sides.
• Never use cleaning solutions on the alarm, simply wipe with a damp cloth.
8
DO NOT
paint the alarm.
