Range test:
To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.
1.
Open the alarm panel menu “Sensors”
“Range” and press “Start”.
2.
Press the Learn button of the CO detector.
3.
The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the
indicated number the better the reception (1 – 9).
4.
Click “Stop” to end the test.
Please note:
If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or
frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we
recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.
Notes:
•
The CO detector reports exclusively an unnatural concentration of carbon
monoxide.
•
We recommend installing the CO detector at a height of approx. 1.5 meters
(4.92 feet), as carbon monoxide weighs about as much as air and is evenly
distributed in the room.
•
You can test the CO detector e.g. by means of cigarette smoke.
•
The CO detector has a limited service life due to the electromechanical
detection method and should be replaced by a new model every five years.
