Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Product Introduction
This wireless carbon monoxide (CO) Alarm (product) monitors the levels
of CO gas and gives early warning when potentially dangerous levels
exist. It does not detect fire, smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous
concentration of CO is detected by patented and field-proven
electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator illuminates and an internal
siren is activated in Temporal 4 pattern. The CO Alarm also transmits
an alarm signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of detecting
dangerous concentration of CO gas. The control panel activates its
internal siren and reports the alarm condition to the central monitoring
station (if the system is monitored). The CO Alarm also detects low
battery, wall tamper, and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are
transmitted to the control panel which reports the condition to the
central monitoring station. The alarm automatically reset when CO is
no longer detected.
This wireless CO Alarm is Listed and compliant with the ANSI/UL 2034
standard for CO Alarms. It is intended for residential indoor dwelling
unit applications and other areas approved by the authority having
jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not intended for use in industrial applications.
This wireless product works in conjunction with your wireless Control
Panel, providing a local indication. Refer to the panel installation
instructions for revision verification details. Please contact Technical
Support for any questions regarding compatibility.

Mounting Guideline
This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family
using the latest technology available. Review the information in this
section to ensure you get the most out of the product.
Choosing an Installation Location
CO Alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas.
We recommend that you install an alarm on each level of your home.
When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can hear the
alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one CO Alarm in your
home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.
Place the alarm out of reach of children. Under no circumstances
should children be allowed to handle the CO Alarm.
Recommended locations
Locations to avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this
alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum
performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:
o
Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that may
expose the sensor to substances that could damage or
contaminate it.
o
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than
40°F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces,
attics, porches, and garages.
o
Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (We
recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)
