4. At least 150cm from any fuel combusting device.
5. At eye level (ca. 150cm-200cm from the floor). Above the door/window level, but still at least 150mm from the ceiling.
6. In rooms longer than 10m it is recommended to install 2 or more detectors, at max.10m distance from the respective detectors.
If you have a limited number of carbon monoxide detectors, use the below recommendations when selecting their installation place:
1. Install the detector in a bedroom, if the fuel burning device is in the sleeping area.
2. Install in every room, where there is a fuel burning device with a closed or open combustion chamber.
3. Install in rooms where residents spend most of their time (e.g. in a living room).
4. Install in a single-room apartment, as far as possible from the stove/heater, but close to the sleeping area.
5. If the fuel burning device is located in a rarely used room (e.g. boiler-room), install the detector just right outside this room, to make the alarm signal audible.
NOTE!
– please keep in mind that the alarm signal has highly elevated noise level!
Where not to install your CO detector!
1. Do not install within 60cm from any heating or cooking appliances.
2. Do not install outside the building.
3. Do not install in closed spaces (e.g. inside the cabinet, or under the cabinet).
4. Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any other forced/unforced air ventilation openings.
5. Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or other areas directly exposed to the weather.
6. Do not install in dead-air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.
7. Do not install above the heat sources, e.g. heaters.
8. Do not install in covered areas, e.g. with curtains or furniture.
9. Do not install in areas where the detector could be damaged, knocked down or where it could be accidentally switched off or removed.
10. Do not install near paints, dissolvents, diluting agents or air-fresheners.
11. Do not cover the air inlets of the device.
The device has a battery compartment with a visual warning that the batteries are missing if the batteries are removed from the compartment. The device requires 3
new AA (LR6) alkaline batteries for proper use.
Initial start-up:
1. Separate the cover from the body of the device by sliding it out of the fixing brackets.
2. Insert 3 new AA (LR6) type power supply batteries into the device,
making sure to observe the correct polarity.
3. Once the batteries are inserted, the device will beep once, illuminate all three LEDs and display information on the LCD screen. The green POWER LED will then
flash at an interval of approximately 45 seconds and the display will show "EN" followed by "000 ppm" indicating that the device has started correctly. Then press the
TEST button on the sensor housing. The device will generate a series of short beeps, all LEDs will flash and the LCD screen will illuminate and display the last highest
recorded alarm concentration of CO. This indicates that the device is working and ready for use.

Detector
start-up
Once the batteries are inserted, the device will beep once, illuminate all three LEDs and display information on the LCD screen. The green
POWER LED will then flash at an interval of approximately 45 seconds and the display will show "EN" followed by "000 ppm" indicating that
the device has started correctly.
Low-battery
warning
When the battery is low, the yellow LED will flash and the device will beep at least once every 1 minute. This indicates the need to replace the
batteries with new ones.
Error/fault
warning
The device has a built-in self-diagnosis system. If a sensor failure has occurred, the device will generate an acoustic alarm (at least 1 signal
per 1 minute) and an optical alarm (LED FAULT blinking yellow). Additionally, the screen will display "Err" message.
Lifetime
warning
„END" message, an acoustic signal and fast triple flashing of the FAULT LED signal the end of the device life (once every 1 minute).
ALARM
When a dangerous concentration of carbon monoxide is detected in the environment, the device will illuminate the screen and display the
carbon monoxide concentration and will start generating an acoustic alarm (series of 5 sounds, at intervals of approx. 1 second) and an optical
alarm (LED ALARM flashes red).
ALARM MUTE
The device has the possibility of short term silencing of the alarm signalling (for a few minutes), while maintaining the optical indication of the
alarm concentration. To do this, press and hold the TEST button on the device during the alarm. Silencing the alarm can only be done when
the carbon monoxide concentration is below 200 ppm. To deactivate muting, press the TEST button again.
Low carbon
monoxide warning
When the device detects a low concentration of carbon monoxide in the environment, it will light up the screen and display the concentration
and start generating an acoustic and visual warning (series of 4 beeps and ALARM LED flashing red at least once every 5 minutes). In case
of low concentration the warning generated by the sensor is much slower than the alarm in case of high concentration.
DEVICE TEST
Pressing the TEST button on the housing will generate a series of short beeps, all LEDs will start flashing and the LCD screen will be illuminated
to display the last highest recorded alarm concentration of CO. This indicates that the device is working properly.
Remember to test the device regularly once a month!
Display indications
„example”
The screen displays the measured ambient carbon monoxide concentration and the battery level indicator.
A message displayed when the power supply batteries are inserted into the device.
Battery level indicator:
A) full sufficient
B) medium
C) low
D) insufficient (the device indicates low battery level)
The device displays carbon monoxide concentration in the range 10-550 ppm. Below 10 ppm the sensor displays 0 ppm, and above 550 ppm
- Hco.
