Peak Level Event Alert
A Peak Level Event occurs whenever CO concentrations are greater than
100 PPM. The display will alternate between “PCO” and the currently
measured CO concentration, (0-999), even if that concentration has returned
to 0 PPM, (see Peak Level Memory section below to display peak level CO
from the event). The display will alternate continuously on AC power, and
will briefly display once every minute on DC only. This will continue until:
1. The unit goes into alarm or,
2. CO concentration level drops below 100 PPM
AND
the user clears the
Peak CO Memory, (see P
eak Level Memory Reset
section below)
If the CO concentration is greater than 30 PPM and less than 100 PPM,
the display will indicate the measured CO concentration only.
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 Peak Level display feature will display levels between 30-999
PPM. The Peak Level feature is helpful 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
normal, 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.
Peak Level Memory Reset
Press and hold the Peak Level button, then press and hold the Test/
Hush button. When the number on the display reads “0”, release
both buttons. The memory will be cleared and the alarm will begin
monitoring for CO.
Discharge
At end of unit life, locate the deactivation /
discharge switch and push the switch in the
direction shown until switch clicks into place.
This will silence the end of unit life or low
battery chirping, drain the battery, and render
the unit safe for disposal.
