The TX-6310-01-1 CO alarm is only compatible with Simon XT
panels with firmware v1.4 or higher. Refer to the panel
installation instructions for revision verification details. It is
currently not compatible with other control panels. Please
contact Technical Support for any questions regarding
compatibility.
Description
The TX-6310-01-1 wireless carbon monoxide (CO) alarm
monitors the levels of CO gas and gives early warning when
potentially dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire,
smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous concentration of CO is
detected by patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor,
an LED indicator illuminates and an internal siren is activated
in temporal 4 pattern. The CO alarm also transmits an alarm
signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of detecting
dangerous concentration of CO gas. The control panel
activates its internal siren and reports the alarm condition to
the central monitoring station (if the system is monitored). The
CO alarm also detects low battery, wall tamper, and sensor
end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted to the control
panel. The alarm automatically resets when CO is no longer
detected.
The TX-6310-01-1 wireless CO alarm is Listed and compliant
with the ANSI/UL 2034 standard for CO alarms. It is intended
for residential indoor dwelling unit applications and other areas
approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not
intended for use in industrial applications.
WARNING:
After seven years from initial power up, this alarm
will beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time
to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not
detect CO in this condition.
To help identify the date to replace the alarm, an area has
been reserved on the side of the alarm. Write the “replace by”
date (seven years from power up) with a permanent marker in
the area provided.
Alarm location
CO alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living
areas. We recommend that you install an alarm on each level
of your home.
When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can
hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one
CO alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the
basement or furnace room.
Place the alarm out of reach of children. Under no
circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO
alarm.

Locations to avoid
Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic
components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the
unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent
unnecessary nuisance alarms:
•
Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that
may expose the sensor to substances that could damage
or contaminate it.
•
Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder
than 40
°
F (4.4
°
C) or hotter than 100
°
F (37.8
°
C) such as
crawl spaces, attics, porches, and garages.
•
Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.
(We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)
