TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system
is undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing
the detector will activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the
test function cannot be used if the detector has a trouble or end-of-life
condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic
maintenance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm
panel will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder
begins the temporal 4 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s
keypad should display the detector’s name in alarm.
CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection
This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not
expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not
open or tamper with the detector as this could cause malfunction. The
detector will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if
not properly installed.
CAUTION:
This device will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide
gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect carbon
monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to
detect smoke, fire or other gases unless the product has been investigated
and determined to comply with applicable requirements.
This device should not be installed as a substitute for proper installation,
use, and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate
ventilation and exhaust systems.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when
fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impossible to
detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions in a room where
fuel burning appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the
amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by appliances should
not be dangerous.
