Servicing the CO detector
If your CO alarm fails to work after you have carefully read all
the instructions, verified that the unit has been installed
correctly, and ensured that it has good batteries connected,
return it for repair or replacement from the original purchasing
location.
Some states or jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or
exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, or limitations
on how long an implied warranty last so the above limitation
may not apply to you.
Do not interfere with the alarm or attempt to tamper with it. This
will invalidate the guarantee, but more importantly may expose
the user to shock or fire hazards. This guarantee is in addition
to your statutory rights as a consumer.
CO detector limitations
The CO alarm will not work without good batteries or if the
batteries are placed in reverse polarity. If the batteries have
been drained the alarm will not give protection. Button test the
alarm weekly and on return from vacations or other long
absences.
Carbon Monoxide must enter the unit for it to be detected.
There may be Carbon Monoxide in other areas of the house
(e.g. downstairs, in a closed room, etc.) but not in the vicinity of
the CO alarm. Doors, air drafts and obstructions can prevent
CO from reaching the alarm. For these reasons we
recommend CO alarms are installed both near and in
bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night.
Additionally, install detectors in rooms where members of the
household spend much of their time, and in rooms with
potential sources of CO gas.
The CO alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but
it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away.
The alarm may not wake up someone who is impaired by
alcohol or medications. The alarm sound may be masked by
other sounds such as T.V., stereo, traffic noise etc. Installing
CO alarms on either side of closed doors will improve their
chance of being heard. This CO alarm is not designed for
people with impaired hearing.
CO a
larms don’t last indefinitely. CO alarms are sophisticated
electronic devices with many parts. Although CO alarms and
their component parts have undergone stringent testing, and
are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that parts can
fail. Therefore, you should test your CO alarms weekly. CO
Alarms must be replaced after 10 years of operation.
CO alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Householders
are responsible for their own insurance. CO alarms warn of
increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will
protect everyone from CO poisoning.
CO alarms are not suitable as early warning smoke alarms.
Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but the response
characteristics of these CO alarms are such that they would
not give sufficient warning of fire. Smoke alarms must be fitted
to give early warning of fire.
CO alarms do not detect the presence of natural gas
(methane), propane, butane, or other combustible gases.
Install combustible gas alarms to detect such gases.
Note:
Carbon Monoxide alarms, with electrochemical sensors
have a cross sensitivity to hydrogen. This means that they can
alarm due to sensing hydrogen produced by batteries which
are incorrectly charged, such as on boats or with battery back-
up systems such as those used with alternative energy
systems. The unit will alarm with 500ppm H2 after between 10-
and 40-minutes exposure.
This CO alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended
for the use in industrial applications where OSHA requirements
for carbon monoxide detectors must be met.
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 any other gases.
WARNING
: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT
INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON
MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD
INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF
IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER.
Troubleshooting
The alarm does not work with the test button
1. Wait 15 seconds after connecting the power before button
testing.
2. Hold button down firmly for at least 5 seconds.
