The following table illustrates the possible digital displays, describes the
audible alarm patterns, and the recommended actions to take.
The problems listed above are under normal operating conditions. Other
“Err” conditions could exist. If you should have any questions regarding
display conditions, call our Consumer Hotline.
When the unit is first powered up, the green
Operate LED flashes once every 30 seconds and
the digital display will show three “eights” –
indicating the alarm is in the start-up mode. The
three “eights” will remain for approximately 30
seconds. Then, the alarm will display “0” and
begin monitoring the air for CO and will contin-
ue to do so as long as it receives power.
This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30
PPM have been detected within the last 15 seconds.

Peak Level Memory
When the Peak Level button is pressed and held, the display shows the
highest CO reading taken by the CO alarm since its
last reset or power up. The battery fuel gauge
changes to show only the top segment of the battery
to indicate that peak level is being displayed. In this
example 120 PPM was the maximum amount of CO
recorded since the unit was last reset.
The Peak Level display feature will display levels
between 11-999 PPM. Although the Peak Level feature will display levels
below 30 PPM, these levels will not result in an alarm no matter how
long the device is exposed to these levels. The Peak Level feature is help-
ful in identifying if you have had a CO reading since resetting the alarm.
Concentrations of CO between 1 and 30 PPM can often occur in nor-
mal, everyday conditions. Concentrations of CO below 30 PPM may be
an indication of a transient condition that may appear today and never
reappear. Some CO conditions may start out as low level leaks but could
develop into CO concentrations that may become harmful.
If this happens, the CO alarm will detect the dangerous level and alarm,
notifying you and others of the conditions.
DO NOT ignore high con-
centration readings above 30 PPM or a CO alarming device that is
in alarm.
