ALARM SEQUENCES AND OPERATION.
Normal
The Green LED will flash once every 180
seconds (3 minutes) while in normal operation.
Alarm
When the CO Alarm enters alarm, the Alarm indicator begins flashing red and the horn beeps 4
times and pauses for 4-5 seconds in a repeat pattern. This indicates that the COHb level has been
reached.

AFTER FOLLOWING STEPS 1-3, IF ALARM REACTIVATES WITHIN A 24-HOUR PERIOD,
REPEAT STEPS 1-3 AND CALL A QUALIFIED APPLIANCE TECHNICIAN TO INVESTIGATE FOR
SOURCES OF CO FROM FUEL BURNING EQUIPMENT AND APPLIANCES, AND INSPECT

THIS INSPECTION, HAVE THE EQUIPMENT SERVICED IMMEDIATELY. NOTE ANY
COMBUSTION EQUIPMENT NOT INSPECTED BY THE TECHNICIAN AND CONSULT THE
MANUFACTURES' INSTRUCTIONS, OR CONTACT THE MANUFACTURERS DIRECTLY, FOR

remote alarm detects a high enough level of CO to alarm, then it will change from remote alarm
to alarm in the standard alarm pattern. A remote alarm should be treated the same as a CO
alarm.
