APD0602 A140513 Wireless CO Install
Mounting Procedure
Once a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Refer to the diagram below and install the mounting base on the ceiling
or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as
required. Use the two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the
base A the screws are at the elbow of the screw slots and secure.
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown
(detector’s alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting
base tamper release tab), then turn the detector in a clockwise direction
until it clicks into place.
Attention:
This manual should be read prior to use
and retained for further information.

Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Installation Guide
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a 3V battery powered wireless
detector intended for use with
a compatible
wireless alarm system.
The detector consists of an electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor assembly
coupled to a wireless transmitter. The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm commu-
nicates with the control panel and can send alarm, tamper and battery condition
messages to the system’s receiver. Refer to the wireless system’s instruction for
the maximum number of transmitters that can be supported.
IMPORTANT:
This detector must be tested and maintained regularly following
NFPA 720 requirements.
This device is designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of carbon
monoxide exposure. It will not fully safeguard individuals with speci
c medical
conditions. If in doubt consult a medical practitioner.
WARNING
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor residential areas. It is not
designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety & Health
Administration (OSHA) commercial and industrial standards.

The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm contains a sounder which generates the ANSI
S3.41 temporal 4 pattern in an alarm condition (see Table 1 for temporal 4 pattern).
In alarm, a message is also sent to the control panel and the detector’s ID is displayed at
the console. During an alarm condition, pressing the detector’s hush button will silence
the sounder for
ve minutes. The mounting base installation is simpli
ed by the incorpo-
ration of features compatible for both drywall fasteners (not supplied) and other methods.
Tricolored LED (green, yellow, red) and a sounder on the detector provide local
visual and audible indication of the detector’s status as listed in Table 1.
During initial power-up the LED blinks alternately green, yellow then red.
It takes about 60 seconds for the detector’s CO sensor to stabilize.
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally, the green
LED blinks once every 12 seconds.
Table 1.
Detector status and indication
Detector Trouble:
When the sensor supervision is in trouble condition, the yellow
LED blinks once every six seconds and there is a chirp every 45 seconds. After
12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
Detector end of life feature:
When the detector has reached the end of its life,
the yellow LED blinks once every 23 seconds and there is a chirp every
45 seconds. After 12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
This indicates that the CO sensor inside the detector has passed the end of its life
and the detector must be replaced. The detector lifespan is
ve years from
the date of manufacture. Refer to DETECTOR REPLACEMENT section.
Low Battery Detection:
The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm is powered by
a single 3-volt CR123A Panasonic Lithium battery (included). The detector regu-
larly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends
a low battery message to the control panel, which displays the detector’s ID at
low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector will blink every 12 seconds.
The detector’s sounder will chirp every 45 seconds (yellow LED continues to
blink) until the battery is replaced. Pressing the hush button will silence the chirps
for 12 hours, if no other trouble conditions exist. The battery should be replaced
WHEN the chirps begin. Be sure to replace the battery with a fresh one.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Unauthorized changes or modi
cations could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counter-
clockwise. Remove and dispose of the battery according to your local regulations.
2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before
installing new battery.
3. Install a new 3-volt CR123A Panasonic Lithium battery (available from your
Panasonic dealer) in the battery compartment. Follow the polarity diagram inside
the compartment. If the battery is incorrectly inserted please remove gently with a
non-conductive tool and correctly reinsert.
4. Reinstall the detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector clockwise.
5. After the power-up sequence the green LED should blink about once every
12 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the battery is not installed correctly, the
detector will not operate and the battery may be damaged. If the detector does not
power-up, check for correct battery installation and for a fully charged battery.
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH
HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

PROGRAMMING
Refer to the appropiate compatible control panel programming guide for the proper
procedure required to enroll the wireless carbon monoxide alarm into the system.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note:
These alarm devices should only be installed and commissioned by a com-
petent engineer
/technician
.
First, determine the best location for the detector, one that provides proper carbon
monoxide detection (see Figure 2 for suggested detection locations) .
Proper Carbon Monoxide Detection Location
Wall-mounted detectors should be positioned at least as high as a light switch,
and at least six inches (15cm) from the ceiling. In a ceiling location, the detector
should be at least 12 inches (30cm) from any wall.
Where to install, ideally:
- Within 10 feet (3m) of a sleeping area
- Inside the bedroom if it contains a fuel burning appliance
- On every
oor of the building
- Ideally, install in any room that contains a fuel burning appliance
- If the appliance or the room is not normally used, such as the boiler room,
the detector should be placed just outside the room so the alarm can be heard
more easily
Where NOT to install, ideally:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan or air
vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s environ-
mental speci
cations
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air
ow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
