o

 

Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any 
forced/unforced air ventilation openings.  

o

 

Do not install on metal surfaces.  

o

 

Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or 

electrical wires.  

o

 

Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas 
directly exposed to the weather.  

o

 

Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted 
ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in 

time to provide early warning.  

o

 

Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries 
have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less 

than optimum performance.  

o

 

Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the 
alarm where drapes, furniture, or other objects block the flow of 

air to the vents.

Mounting the Sensor

 

Note:

 Add the product to the Control Panel before physically mounting 

the product in the desired location. This verifies RF performance prior to 
permanently mounting the alarm. See “RF communication test”. 

 
The CO Alarm can be wall mounted or ceiling mounted.  

 
To mount the alarm: 

 

A.

 

Slide the product  body off of the mounting plate. Place the 
mounting plate in the desired location, and mark the location of 

the two mounting holes. Orient the mounting plate vertically or 
horizontally as shown in the following figures.  

 

Note: 

The product can also be directly mounted to a single gang box.  

 
Vertical Mounting 

 

 

Horizontal Mounting 

 

 

B.

 

Insert the two screws provided and secure the mounting plate 

to the wall or ceiling surface. (If mounting in plasterboard or 

drywall, drill a 3/16 in. hole and use the plastic  anchors 
provided.)  

C.

 

After the mounting plate is secured, slide the alarm over the 
mounting plate (see Figure 4 on page 2).  

Important labels provided 

 

Two labels have been provided that have important information on 
what to do in case of an alarm. Add the  phone number of your 
emergency service provider in the space provided. Place one label next 

to the alarm after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air source 
such as a door or window.

Basic Operations 

This  product  is equipped with an intuitive normal mode  operation. 
Since the batteries are pre-installed, remove the battery pull tab to turn 
ON power. The product shall search for a networked control panel to 
pair with. During this time,  Search Mode,  the RF wireless module 

transmits every ~ 5-seconds.  Not pairing or enrolling into a control 
panel within minutes of initial power up, places a large drain the 
batteries. Failure to complete pairing results in dead batteries after 2-3 
days time passes.  

 

Normal Mode Operation 

o

 

In normal operation, the green Power LED flashes once every 30 

seconds. 

o

 

In alarm mode, the red Alarm LED flashes with four quick 

beeps, 5-seconds silence and repeat. 

o

 

In trouble or maintenance mode, the red Alarm LED flashes 
once every 30 seconds with one audible chirp. 

o

 

In low battery mode, the red Alarm LED flashes once every 60 
seconds with one quick beep until the batteries are replaced. 

Press the Test/Hush button to silence the audible chirp  for 
between 8-11 hours.  

 

Note:

 the modes can be viewed from the Control Panel. 

 

Silence the Alarm 

Press the Test/Hush  button to silence the sounder during an alarm. 
After a few minutes, the sounder and alarm resume if dangerous CO 
gas levels are still present. 
 

 

5.

 

Installing / Replacing Battery 

This product comes with three battery preinstalled. When you need to 
replace the battery, use the following procedure.  
 

Note: 

Place the control panel into sensor test mode prior to replacing 

the batteries. If the control panel is not in sensor test mode during 
battery replacement, an alarm/tamper condition may be indicated.  

 

A.

 

Slide the product body off of the mounting plate.  

B.

 

If replacing batteries, remove the old batteries and properly 

dispose of them as recommended by the battery manufacturer.  

C.

 

Install the new batteries. Note the polarity illustration in the 

battery compartment (see Figure 3 below).
