Although carbon monoxide has a similar density to that of ambient air, it will normally be emitted as part of a warm gas mixture and will therefore tend to rise until it cools.
Before commissioning the carbon monoxide alarm, it is important to activate it and test it for correct operation.
It's recommended to write the replacement date (10 years) on the label, in a calendar or anywhere easy to review.
NOTE: The test signal volume is lower than the alarm signal volume. If you want to hear the volume of the alarm signal, keep on pressing the button without release, you will hear: 4 low beeps (<85dB) + pause + 4 low beeps (<85dB) + pause + 4 high beeps (>85dB) + pause + 4 high beeps (>85dB) + pause................(first 2 rounds are low, start from 3rd round become high >85dB), then you will hear the alarm signal of > 85 dB (A).
In standby mode, the carbon monoxide value (if lower than 20 PPM, 0 is displayed) and room temperature are displayed alternately every 40 seconds. If the carbon monoxide value is higher than 20 PPM, the temperature display will be omi ed and only the carbon monoxide value will be displayed. This alarm is equipped with a night mode, which means that the standby led flashes less bright in dark rooms (CO concentra on display range: 0~999PPM / Temperature display range: -9 °C to 50°C).
When the device detects a dangerous level of carbon monoxide, the device will emit a loud alarm pattern. The alarm indicator (red) will flash at the same pattern (according to the conditions indicated in the table of operation modes). This pattern repeats as long as a dangerous CO concentration exists.
Alarm sensitivity (conforms to EN 50291-1:2018)
30 PPM Without alarm before 120 minutes
50 PPM Between 60 to 90 minutes
100 PPM Between 10 to 40 minutes
300 PPM Less than 3 minutes
Please refer to paragraph "What to do if carbon monoxide is detected?" if the device emits an alarm signal.
This device will remember an alarm for 48 hours by showing "AL" on the LCD screen. Test the test/silence button to reset the memory and return to normal operation mode.
This carbon monoxide detector is equipped with a silence facility that allows the alarm signal to be temporarily deac vated (approximately ten minutes). If the alarm is triggered, press the test bu on to ac vate the alarm silence facility. The alarm indicator (red) will keep flashing as CO alarm mode, it indicates the device is running into the CO alarm silence mode. If the carbon monoxide value s ll exceeds 50 PPM a er 10 minutes, the detector will return to audible alarm mode. The alarm silence func on cannot be used if the detected CO value is higher than 200 PPM.
If there is any ques on as to the cause of an alarm, it should be assumed that the alarm is due to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and the dwelling should be evacuated!
This carbon monoxide detector is equipped with a non-replaceable battery with a service life of 10 years. When the battery is running low, the carbon monoxide alarm will indicate this with a repetitive beep and flash, according to the conditions indicated in the table of opera on modes, for approximately 30 days. When this warning occurs, replace the device as soon as possible! The acoustic low ba ery warning signal can be muted for nine hours by pressing the test/silence button.
The battery is sealed and not replaceable.
When the carbon monoxide detector is not functioning properly, it will turn into the fault warning mode. While in fault warning mode, the device will beep twice every 8 seconds and the fault indicator (yellow) will flash. The LCD displays ''Err" and the carbon monoxide alarm has no detecting function. Try cleaning the smoke alarm (see paragraph maintenance) or immediately replace the carbon monoxide alarm!
The end of life warning indicates the end of life of the carbon monoxide alarm. If the device beeps 3 times every 40 seconds, the fault indicator (yellow) flashes and the LCD displays "End ", then the end of life is reached. If this warning occurs, then the CO alarm needs to be replaced immediately.
If the carbon monoxide alarm is triggered, please take the following actions:
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless and non-irritating gas which is classified as a chemical asphyxiant, whose toxic action is a direct result of the hypoxia produced by a given exposure. The device may not prevent the chronic effects of carbon monoxide exposure and does not protect individuals from a particular hazard.
Health effects on healthy adults:
Concentration Symptoms
100-200 PPM Slight headache, weakness, potential burden on foetus.
200-300 PPM Severe headache, nausea, impairment in limb movements.
300-400 PPM Severe headache, irritability, confusion, impairment in visual acuity, nausea, muscular weakness, dizziness, weakness.
400-500 PPM Convulsions and unconsciousness
600-700 PPM Coma, collapse, death
