How Carbon Monoxide can affect you
Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for full details on
the symptoms associated with increasing degrees of exposure to
Carbon Monoxide.
DANGER:
Never ignore any alarm, further exposure can be fatal.
Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of
Carbon Monoxide poisoning (e.g. headaches or nausea).
Contact your Gas supplier on their emergency number.
Do not use the appliance again until it has been checked by a Gas
Safe qualified engineer.
Positioning
Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms
should be installed in every
room containing a fuel-burning appliance and every
sleeping room.
When fitting in the same room as a fuel burning
appliance the alarm should be at a horizontal distance between 1
and 3m from the potential source, if the room has a sloped
ceiling it should be at the high side of the room. If the alarm is
wall mounted it should be at least 150mm below the ceiling and
at a height greater than any door or window. If the alarm is
ceiling mounted it should be at least 300mm away from any wall
or light fitting. If fitted in sleeping rooms the alarm should be
located close to the breathing zone of the occupants.
Refer to the Manufacturer’s instruction booklet for more
information on positioning.
Normal Operation
The green power light will flash once every 60 seconds to indicate
normal operation.
Alarm Condition
If Carbon Monoxide is detected the unit will repeatedly sound 4
loud beeps and the red CO light will flash once every 5 seconds.
Keep calm, turn off all fuel-burning appliances and open the doors
and windows and evacuate the property.
Do not re-enter the building until the alarm has stopped.
Low Battery Condition
If the unit chirps every 60 seconds and the yellow warning light
flashes at the same time, this indicates the battery is running low.
The low battery condition will also be reported to the Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC) or the local Manager once a day.
The telecare transceiver module also contains a battery - this is
self-
tested once a day, if it’s low for 7 consecutive days a low
battery condition will be reported once a week. The complete CO
alarm should be replaced as soon as possible within 30 days.
Sleep Easy Feature
Low battery warnings often start when it is inconvenient to
replace the alarm. You can silence the audible low battery chirp
for a period of 8 hours by pressing the Test/
button. After this
period the audible chirp will start again. This process can be
repeated up to 10 times. The alarm will still detect CO during this
time, however it must be replaced within 30 days.
Fault Condition
If the unit chirps every 60 seconds and the yellow warning light
flashes 20-25 seconds after, this indicates a fault with the CO
alarm and it should be replaced immediately.
Out of Range Notification (Reach IP)
The Reach IP can monitor all radio peripheral devices to
determine whether they have been damaged or removed from
an installation. Should the Reach IP be unable to detect a device’s
heartbeat it will automatically generate a “radio out of range”
notification. Firstly, investigate if there’s a genui
ne reason for the
alert, if not, arrange for the peripheral device to be replaced
immediately.
The “Radio out of range timer” can be set from 30
hours to 99999 hours in Pulse CMP. “Radio supervision” can be
disabled by unchecking the tick box associated with each
peripheral device in Pulse CMP.
Maintenance
Test the CO alarm once every month.
Clean once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner fitted with
the soft brush attachment. Do not use solvents or cleaners on
the CO alarm, the unit can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Disposal
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with normal
household waste. The CO alarm is ideally suited for disposal
within the waste electronic and electrical equipment (WEEE)
recycling scheme. Please recycle where facilities exist.
Check with your local authority or contact your supplier for
recycling/disposal advice.
Warning
The CO alarm contains a powerful Lithium battery. If tampered
with the battery may be damaged and create a fire hazard. No
attempt should be made to open the case or remove the battery.
Do not incinerate.
