alarm light will continue to flash in temp-4 pattern. If carbon
monoxide is still present after the 5 minute hush period, the
audible alarm will sound. The hush facility will not operate at
levels above 350 ppm (parts per million) carbon monoxide.
Trouble feature:
When the sensor supervision is in a trouble
condition (such as a sensor that has been tampered with), the
alarm will sound a trouble signal every 30-60 seconds and the
trouble contact will open . The alarm must then be replaced.
End of Life Timer feature:
When the alarm has reached the end of
its life, the trouble signal will sound every 30-60 seconds and the
trouble contact will open. This indicates that the CO sensor inside
the alarm has passed the end of its life and must be replaced.
This alarm’s lifespan is approximately ten years from the date of
