End of Life
When the unit has completed up to 6 years of operation the amber light will flash every
40 seconds. The entire unit must then be replaced.
It must also be replaced when the date on the “Replace Unit by” label on the side wall
is exceeded.
When the battery is depleted the unit will beep every 45 seconds and the green light will
flashe at same time. The beeps on an Ei205EN or Ei205CEN CO Alarm only may be
silenced by cutting the wire situated under the cover. See figures 5a & 5b to see how to
remove the cover and locate the wire. On other units first remove the battery cells.
8. LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS
(1) The CO Alarm will not work without good batteries - the green power light must
flash every 45 seconds. If the battery has been drained the alarm will not give
protection. Button test the alarm on return from holidays and other long absences.
(2) 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 draughts and obstructions can prevent the
CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend. CO Alarms are fitted both
near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally
install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in
rooms with potential sources of CO gas.
