5. OPERATION AND TESTING

OPERATION: The alarm is operating once it is activated and testing is complete.

When products of combustion are sensed, or CO is detected the unit sounds a

loud 85db pulsating alarm until the air is cleared.

The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm monitors the air for the presence of CO. It will

alarm when there are high levels of CO present, and when there are low levels

of CO present over a longer period of time. When a CO condition matches

either of these situations, the alarm will sound, and be accompanied by the

blinking red LED light.

The CO sensor meets the alarm response time as follows:

At 70 PPM, the unit must alarm within 60-240 minutes.

At 150 PPM, the unit must alarm within 10-50 minutes.

At 400 PPM, the unit must alarm within 4-15 minutes.

TESTING: Test your alarm by pressing the test button until the unit chirps,

then release the test button. The unit will then emit 2 sets of three slow beeps

followed by 2 sets of four quick beeps indicating that the alarm is operating

normally. The alarm will sound if the electronic circuitry, horn, and battery are

working. If the alarm does not sound, the unit must be replaced.

Warning: Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always

stand an arm’s length (about 2.5 feet) away from the unit or use ear

protection when testing.

Weekly testing is required to ensure proper operation. Erratic or low

volume sound (or no sound) coming from your alarm may indicate a defective

alarm and it should be returned for service. See deactivation section to deter-

mine how to prepare the unit for shipment or disposal.

Warning: DO NOT use an open flame to test your alarm, you could

damage the alarm or ignite combustible materials and start a structure fire.

The following table describes the visual and audible alarm conditions the unit

may encounter and illustrates how the unit will indicate normal standby, alarm

and error conditions.
