Positioning
Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms
should be installed in
every room containing a fuel-burning appliance and
every sleeping room.
When fitting in the same room as a
fuel burning appliance the alarm should be at a horizontal
distance between 1 and 3m from the potential source, if
the room has a sloped ceiling it should be at the high side
of the room. If the alarm is wall mounted it should be at
least 150mm below the ceiling and at a height greater
than any door or window. If the alarm is ceiling mounted
it should be at least 300mm away from any wall or light
fitting. If fitted in sleeping rooms the alarm should be
located relatively close to the breathing zone of the
occupants. Do not mount the alarm above any source of
heat or steam. Refer to the
Manufacturer’s instruction
booklet for more information on positioning.
Alarm Condition
If a Carbon Monoxide leak is detected the unit will
repeatedly sound 4 loud beeps and the red CO light will flash
once every 5 seconds. Keep calm and open the doors and
windows to ventilate the property. Stop using all fuel-
burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are
turned off. Evacuate the property leaving the doors and
windows open. Contact your Gas supplier on their
emergency number. Do not re-enter the building until the
alarm has stopped.
How Carbon Monoxide can affect you
Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for
full
details on the symptoms associated with increasing degrees
of exposure to Carbon Monoxide.
DANGER:
Never ignore any alarm, further exposure can be
fatal. Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the
effects of Carbon Monoxide poisoning (e.g. headaches or
nausea). Do not use the appliance again until it has been
checked by a Gas Safe qualified engineer.
Normal Operation
The green power light will flash once every 60 seconds to
indicate normal operation.
Low Battery Condition
If the unit chirps every 60 seconds and the yellow warning
light flashes at the same time, this indicates the battery is
running low. The low battery condition will also be reported
to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) or the local Manager.
The complete CO alarm should be replaced within 30 days.
Sleep Easy Feature
Low battery warnings often start at night or when it may be
inconvenient to replace the alarm. You can silence the
audible ‘low battery’ chirp for a period of eight hours by
pressing the Test/
button. After this period the audible
chirp will start again. This process can be repeated for a
maximum of 10 times. The alarm will still detect CO during
this time, however it must be replaced within 30 days.
Fault Condition
If the unit chirps every 60 seconds and the yellow warning
light flashes 20-25 seconds after, this indicates a fault
condition. Replace the CO alarm immediately.
Maintenance
Test the CO alarm once every week.
Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted
with the soft brush attachment.
Do not use solvents or cleaners on the CO alarm, the unit
can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Disposal
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with
normal household waste. The CO alarm is ideally suited
for disposal within the waste electronic and electrical
equipment (WEEE) recycling scheme. Please recycle where
facilities exist. Check with your local authority or contact
your supplier for recycling/disposal advice.
Warning
The CO alarm contains a powerful Lithium battery. If
tampered with the battery may be damaged and create a
fire hazard. No attempt should be made to open the case
or remove the battery.
