ALARM:
When the CO detector sounds the alarm, carbon monoxide (CO) might
be present which can be fatal. Therefore, do never ignore this alarm.
What to do when the alarm sounds:
1 Open doors and windows and immediately do outside into the fresh air. Check whether
everybody has left the building.
2 Call an official installer to inspect the correct functioning and state of maintenance of the
combustion source (gas or oil powered equipment) that could be the cause for the CO alarm.
Only enter the building again after the cause has been resolved and the building has been well
ventilated.
The alarm sound can be switched off by pressing the TEST/RESET button (<150PPM).
LED INDICATION:
Red LED
Alarm, carbon monoxide present
Green LED
Normal functioning, flashes every 40 seconds
Yellow LED
Sensor problem
SENSOR REPLACEMENT:
The sensor has a lifespan of 7 years. After 7 years you should replace the entire product because
the sensor cannot be replaced.
If the yellow LED illuminates within these 7 years, even though you've reconnected or replaced the
batteries, please refer to the paragraph "Sensor inspection".
If the red LED switches on, the yellow "FAULT" LED illuminates 2x and 2 beep tones are emitted,
the entire product should be replaced.
MAINTENACE:
To keep your CO detector in proper working order, please follow these easy steps:
•
Check whether the alarm is working properly by pressing the test button every week.
•
Clean the CO detector with a vacuum cleaner or with a soft cloth or brush once every month to
remove excess dust.
•
Check whether the batteries are damaged, exhausted or corroded.
•
Explain to children that they should not play with the CO detector and make sure they are aware
of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning.
•
Never use cleaning agents or other solutions to clean the CO detector.
•
Never use air fresheners, hair spray or other aerosols near the CO detector.
•
Don't paint the CO detector. Paint covers the vents preventing the sensor from detecting CO.
•
Never disassemble, repair or modify the product yourself; there's a high risk that it will no
longer function correctly or reliably.
