Low Battery Warning, AC Power ON: • The horn “chirps” once a minute. • Red light flashes once each time the horn “chirps”. Low Battery Warning AC Power OFF: • The horn “chirps” once a minute. • Red light flashes once each time the horn “chirps”. For a detailed list of all light and horn pattern combinations, see pages 24-25. CO ALARM SPECIFICATIONS Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO alarm is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million. Required Alarm Levels: Before 10% COHb exposure at levels of 30% to 70% Relative Humidity (RH): • 400 ppm CO between 4 and 15 minutes • 150 ppm CO between 10 and 50 minutes • 70 ppm CO between 60 and 240 minutes When exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm of CO, this CO alarm was tested not to go into alarm for at least for 30 days. Audible Alarm: 85dB minimum at 10 feet. Power: Powered by 120VAC. The 9V battery back-up provides 8 hours of standby and sounds alarm for 12 hours with fresh battery. When AC power is on, red light (LED) shines continuously. Under battery power, red light flashes once a minute. Malfunction: Horn chirps and light blinks 3 times (in rapid succession) every minute. Dimensions: 5.4” diameter (approx.) Supply Voltage: 120VAC 60Hz .085A Standby .087A Alarm During Alarm: Repeating alarm horn pattern: 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause. • Stand-alone unit: red light (LED) flashes rapidly, once per second. • Interconnected series: red light (LED) flashes rapidly, once per second on the Initiating alarm. Red light (LED) on all other alarms will not flash. Warranty: 5-year limited warranty. Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034. According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide exposure.” This CO alarm monitors the air, and is designed to alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is only possible if alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual. CHAPTER 2: Installation WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of at least one CO alarm per household, located near the sleeping area. For added protection, install additional CO alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home. If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet, install a CO alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway. GARAGE SUGGESTED AREAS FOR INSTALLING CO ALARMS BEDROOMBEDROOM HALLLIVING ROOM KITCHEN BASEMENT BEDROOM In a Single-level Home: • Install at least one CO alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. • For added protection, install an additional CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source. In a Multi-level Home: • Install at least one CO alarm near or within each separate sleeping area. • For added protection, install at least one CO alarm on each level of the home. If you have a basement, install that CO alarm at the top of the basement stairs. • For added protection, install an additional CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source. WARNING! This alarm must have AC or battery power to operate. If the AC power fails, the battery back-up will power the alarm if the 9V battery is fresh and correctly installed. If AC power fails, and the battery is dead or missing, the alarm cannot operate. WHERE NOT TO INSTALL CO ALARMS DO NOT locate this CO alarm: • In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas. • Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance. The alarm should be between 5 and 20 feet from any cooking appliance. • Closer than 20 feet from a furnace or other fuel burning heat source, or fuel burning appliances like a water heater. • In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity. • In areas where temperature is colder than 40°F (4°C) or hotter than 100°F (38°C). These areas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages. • In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns, or open windows.
