INTERCONNECTING SMOKE ALARMS
For interconnecting line, only use #14-#18 AWG minimum solid or stranded wire. When being
interconnected, maximum wire length between any two alarms is 1500 feet for #18 AWG or
4000 feet for #14 AWG (20 OHMS loop resistance). This CO alarm can be interconnected with
as many as 40 other DC or AC ORIENTALERT s CO alarms and/or smoke/heat alarms. Do not
connect to any other type or model CO alarms except the ones we specify. And this CO alarm is
powered by 220-240V AC 50Hz and with 9V DC Battery back-up.
OPERATING YOUR CO ALARM
Normal Operation
When the CO alarm is under normal working operation in the clean air, the green LED will be on when mains power is
correctly connected and is also an indication that your alarm is in normal function. The green LED will flash every one minute
when mains power is cut off.
Alarm Condition
When the unit detects dangerous levels of CO, Red LED flashes rapidly and alarm sounds loudly (repeating 4 beeps,
pause).This will continue as long as there is a dangerous level of CO present. Should the CO levels return to normal, the unit
will stop beeping.
