This alarm detects products of combustion using photoelectric technology and carbon
monoxide using an electrochemical cell. Many times throughout this User’s Guide, we
will refer to Carbon Monoxide as “CO.”
This alarm is acceptable for use near kitchens or cooking areas but can be used in all
other residential applications where a smoke or CO alarm is required.
After ten (10) years of cumulative power up, this unit will “chirp” two times every 30 sec-
onds. This is an "operational end of life" feature which will indicate that it is time to
replace the alarm.
To help identify the date to replace the unit, a label has been affixed to the side of the
alarm. Write the “Replace by” date (10 years from initial power up) in permanent marker
on the label prior to installing the unit.
Product Features and Specifications:
• Temperature: Operating Range: 5°C to 45°C
• Humidity: Operating range: up to 85% relative humidity(RH)
• Audible Alarm: 85+ dB at 10’ @ 3.4±0.5 KHz pulsing alarm
• Smoke Sensor: Photoelectric
• CO Sensor: Electrochemical
Two labels have been provided that have important information on what to do in case of
a CO alarm. Place one label next to the alarm after it is mounted, and one near a fresh
air source such as a door or window.
