Death within 10-15 minutes Death within (3) three minutes Placement of CO Alarm Ideally a Carbon Monoxide Alarm should be installed in:
Every room containing a fuel burning appliance. Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time. Every bedroom. However if the number of Carbon Monoxide Alarms to be fitted is limited, the following points should be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s):
If there is an appliance in a room where people sleep, place a CO Alarm in this room. Locate a CO Alarm in a room containing a flueless or open-flued appliance, Locate an Alarm in a room where the occupant(s) spend most of their time
(e.g. sitting room). In a bedsite, the CO Alarm should be placed as far away from the cooking appliance as possible, but near to where the person sleeps. If the appliance is in a room not normally used, such as a boiler room, the CO Alarm should be placed just outside the room so that the Alarm will be heard more easily.

Break off the small pillar on the base of the CO Alarm (Figure 7). This will allow the tamper catch release to be activated and in the position shown in Figure 8. To remove Alarm from wall or ceiling it is now necessary to use a small flat tool (See Figure 9) to release the catch release. Follow the procedure for removing the alarm that is shown in Figure 10. If necessary it is possible to further tamper proof the Alarm by using a #2 or
#4 1/4 inch self tapping screw (not included) and installing it into the indent of the mounting base (Figure 11). 14 ROTATE CO ALARM CLOCKWISE TO LOCK ON MOUNTING BASE AND TEST CO ALARM 4 8 12 If locating the CO Alarm in a room with a fuel burning appliance:
If it is mounted on a wall, it should be located at a height greater than the height of any door or window but still be at least 6 inches from the ceiling. If it is mounted on the ceiling it should be at least 12 feet from any wall or light fitting. The CO Alarm should be a horizontal distance of between 3 feet and 9 feet from the potential CO source. If there is a partition in the room, the CO Alarm should be located on the same side of the partition as the potential source. In rooms with sloped ceilings, the CO Alarm should be located at the high side of the room. If locating the CO Alarm in a bedroom or in rooms remote from a fuel burning appliance:
Mount the CO Alarm relatively close to the breathing zone of the occupants. Whatever position is chosen make sure it is possible to view the three light indicators, when in the vicinity of the Alarm. WARNING: Do not use the CO Alarm on an intermittent basis, or as a portable detector for the leakage of combustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys. Test the CO Alarm weekly by pressing and holding the test button for a few seconds. Replace Alarm when the REPLACE UNIT BY date has been reached. Check the label on the side of the Alarm. Do not fit Alarm until all building work is completed to avoid contamination. Installation of CO Alarm/Wall or Ceiling Mounting Rotate CO alarm COUNTER CLOCKWISE to remove it from mounting plate.

Many people are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. CO is absorbed by red blood cells in the lungs in preference to oxygen - this results in rapid damage to the heart and brain from oxygen starvation. High levels of CO in a house can be caused by:
Incorrectly or poorly installed fuel-burning appliances. Blocked or cracked chimneys/flues. Blocked vents or draft-proofing which makes areas with fuel burning appliances or fireplaces airtight. Engines of cars, lawnmowers etc. left running in confined spaces. Portable paraffin or gas heaters in badly ventilated rooms. Unsuitable Locations for CO Alarms Do not place the CO Alarm in any of the following areas:
1. In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance (keep it at least 3 feet horizontally from it). 2. Outside the building. 3. In an enclosed space (e. g. in or below a cupboard). 4. In a damp or humid area. 5. Directly above a sink or cooker. 6. Next to a door, window, air vent or anywhere that it would be affected by drafts. 7. Next to an extractor fan. 8. Over heat sources such as radiators or hot air vents. 9. Where it would be obstructed, e.g. by curtains or furniture. 10. In an area where the temperature could drop below -15F or rise above 105F. 11. Where dirt or dust could block the sensor. 12. Where it could be easily knocked or damaged, or where it could be accidentally turned off or removed. 13. In a bathroom or other areas where the CO Alarm may be exposed to water splashes, dripping or condensation (e.g. above an electric kettle). 14. Near paint, thinners, solvent fumes or air fresheners. 11 PILLAR FLAT BLADE TOOL Figure 7.

When the CO Alarm detects potentially dangerous levels of CO, if flashes the red alarm light immediately and then sounds a loud alarm if the CO persists. Table 2 shows how the CO Alarm reacts to different levels of CO gas and exposure time. At higher levels of CO gas and exposure time. At higher levels of CO the Alarm turns on sooner. The rate of flashing of the red light indicates the level of CO. If your CO Alarm sounds follow the instructions in the What to do when the Alarm Sounds section of this manual. WARNING: NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM!

C A R B O N M O N OX I D E A L A R M E i 2 0 7 Table 2. CO Alarm Response NOTE: Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. 16 Pre-Alarm When the Alarm detects over 43 ppm CO the red light flashes in accordance with Table 2. This helps locate CO leaks as the CO Alarm gives an indication straight away. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 43ppm CO for typically 72 minutes for an alarm sound to be given). Note the Pre-Alarm signal may be triggered by CO coming for example, from cooking with gas, from car engines or from nearby barbecues. This is usually not a concern, unless the pre-alarm signal persists until the Alarm sounds and the CO source is unknown. Note: The CO Alarm may sound if cigarette smoke is blown into it, or aerosols are released nearby. CO Alarm Memory The CO Alarm memory is an important feature of the CO Alarm where even if the house is unoccupied during an alarm condition it warns the homeowner that the CO Alarm has previously detected CO gas and been in alarm. The memory feature has two operation modes:
memory indication for 24 hour period after alarm memory recall on demand 24 hour memory indicators: After alarm, the RED light will flash at different rates every minute (approx) depending on the level of CO detected (See Table 3). Memory recall on demand: To review the memory status after initial 24 hours, press and hold the test button, the red LED will flash in accordance to Table 3. 20 Quick Test with Carbon Monoxide:
The Alarm can be tested with carbon monoxide gas by using one of the kits that comes with the gas either in a glass phial or aerosol can. Follow the instructions on the kit. If a test gas kit is not readily available it is also possible to gas test the Alarm using a joss stick or cigarette smoke. To do this remove the Alarm from its base and slide the power switch to the ON position (See Figure 9). Fill a suitable size plastic bag with smoke from a cigarette. Insert the Alarm into the smoke filled bag and seal it closed. Within seconds, the red light will begin to flash (as per Table 2) to confirm that the Alarm has detected the CO gas in the bag. To check the Alarm sound, momentarily press the test button and within seconds the horn will sound briefly. Slide the power switch to the OFF (left) position (See Figure 13) and replace the Alarm on its mounting base. OFF POSITION ON POSITION Figure 13. Power ON or Power OFF Switch Position on CO Alarm Maintenance Silencing (Hush) When the Alarm sounds, after sensing CO, pressing the test/hush button will immediately stop the horn (the red light will continue to flash). If CO is still present the red light and the horn will turn on again after about 4 minutes. The CO Alarm can only be silenced once during a CO incident. At levels > 150ppm CO the CO Alarm cannot be silenced. 24 Limitations of CO Alarms 1) The CO Alarm will not work without good batteries. If the batteries have been drained the Alarm will not give protection. Button test the Alarm weekly and on return from holidays and other long absences.
(2) Carbon Monoxide must enter the CO Alarm for it to be detected. There may be Carbon Monoxide in other areas of the house (e.g. downstairs, in a closed room etc) but not in the vicinity of the CO Alarm. Doors, air drafts and obstructions can prevent the CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas.
(3) The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away. RF interconnecting CO Alarms greatly improves the probability that they will be heard. The Alarm may not wake up somebody who has taken alcohol or drugs. The Alarm sound may be masked by other sounds such as TV, stereo, traffic noise etc. Fitting CO Alarms on either side of closed doors will improve their chance of being heard. This CO Alarm is not designed for people with impaired hearing.
(4) CO Alarms dont last indefinitely. CO Alarms are sophisticated electronic devices with many parts. Although the Alarm and its component parts have undergone stringent tests, and are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your CO Alarm weekly. The CO Alarm must be replaced when the REPLACE UNIT BY date has been reached. Check the label on the side of the Alarm. 28 Service Diagnostics Action Red LED Yellow LED Sounder Action Press &

When the battery is starting to be depleted the CO Alarm will beep and the Amber LED will flash every minute. The low battery beeps can be suppressed for 24 hours by pressing the test/hush button. IMPORTANT: It is recommended that this is done until a replacement CO Alarm is available so as to maintain protection against CO leaks. 18 On Off Off Off 22 Cleaning the Alarm:
Clean the outside case by occasionally wiping with a clean damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, bleaches, detergents or polishes, including those in aerosol cans. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the CO Alarm. Do not place air fresheners near the CO Alarm. What to do when the Alarm sounds
(1) Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area (see note).
(2) Turn off all fuel appliances where possible and stop using them. (The Alarm can be silenced immediately by pushing the test/hush button provided the CO level is less than 150ppm).
(3) Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.
(4) Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of Carbon Monoxide poisoning (headache, nausea), and advise that Carbon Monoxide poisoning is suspected.
(5) Call your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number. Keep the number in a prominent place.
(6) Do not re-enter the property until the Alarm has stopped. (If the Alarm has been silenced by pressing the test/hush button, wait at least 5 minutes so the Alarm can check that the CO has cleared).
(7) Do not use the fuel appliances again until they have been checked by a registered installer or equivalent expert. Note: When ventilation is provided by leaving the window and doors open, the CO build up may have dissipated by the time help arrives and the Alarm may have stopped sounding. Although your problem may appear temporarily solved it is crucial that the source of the CO is determined and appropriate repairs made. How to Protect your Family Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
(1) Know and look out for tell-tale signs that Carbon Monoxide may be present. These include:
- The CO Alarm warning of abnormal levels.
- Staining, sooting or discoloration on or around appliances.
- A pilot light frequently going out.
- A strange smell when an appliance is operating.
- A naked gas flame which is yellow or orange, instead of the normal blue.
- Family members (including pets) exhibiting the flu-like symptoms of CO poisoning described above. If any of these signs are present get the appliance checked out by an expert before further use. If family members are ill get medical help.
(2) Choose all appliances and vehicles which burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil,natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. with care and have them professionally installed and regularly maintained. 25 26
(5) CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. House-holders are responsible for their own insurance. The CO Alarm warns of increasing CO levels, but we do not guarantee that this will protect everyone from CO poisoning.
(6) CO Alarms are not suitable as early warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide, but the response characteristics of these CO Alarms are such that they would not give sufficient warning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire.
(7) The CO Alarm does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas
(propane, butane) or other combustible gases. Fit combustion Gas Alarms to detect these. Note: Carbon Monoxide Alarms, with electrochemical sensors have a cross sensitivity to hydrogen. This means that they can alarm due to sensing hydrogen being produced by batteries being incorrectly charged such as on boats or with battery back-up systems such as those used with alternative energy systems. The CO Alarm will alarm with 500 ppm H2 after between 10 and 40 minutes exposure. WARNING: THIS CO ALARM IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM THE ACUTE EFFECTS OF CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT WILL NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. Troubleshooting ALARM DOES NOT WORK WITH THE TEST BUTTON:
(1) Check the Alarm is secured correctly on the mounting plate.
(2) Wait 15 seconds after connecting the power before button testing.
(3) Hold button down firmly for at least 5 seconds. ALARM SOUNDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON:
Follow the detailed instructions in What to do when the alarm sounds section. If there are still problems:
(1) Ensure there are no fuel burning appliances in the vicinity which could be leaking CO gas (e.g. even from next door).
(2) Ensure there are no fumes in the area (e.g. paint, thinners, hair spray, chemical cleaners, aerosol sprays, damp proofing done with and aqueous emulsion such as Amino functional siloxane and Alkylalkoxysilane).
(3) Ensure there is no outdoor source of CO in the vicinity (e.g. a car with engine running, heavy traffic, heavy air pollution, barbecue fumes etc).
(4) Ensure there is no source of hydrogen such as batteries being charged (e.g. on boats or in Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS)).
(5) Ensure there is not excessive smoke or fumes from devices such as Egyptian shisha, hookah or water pipes, especially those that use coal or charcoal to heat the tobacco.
(6) If the Alarm is fitted with an RF Module, ensure that there are no problems with the other RF interconnected Alarms and that all Alarms are house coded correctly.
(7) Press the test/hush button to silence the Alarm. If the CO Alarm continues to sound it is possibly defective and should be replaced. WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM BEEPS:
The CO Alarm will beep and the amber light will flash to indicate a fault condition. 29 CO Alarm Fault Chart Fault Condition Fault Indication Low Battery 1 beep with 1 amber flash Faulty Sensor 2 beeps with 2 amber flashes End of Life 3 beeps with 3 amber flashes Action Replace Battery Replace Alarm Replace Alarm Table 7.

The 2GIG-CO8E-345 Carbon Monoxide Alarm can be tested by rotating the Alarm clockwise on the mounting base (Figure 12). This activates the on/
off switch. The (3) three indicator lights will immediately flash in sequence to show that they are working. Wait 15 seconds after connecting the power before button testing. The power light is not illuminated during standby. It will flash green when the test button is pressed to indicate that power is present and alarm is functioning. Guidelines and best practices for testing are as follows:
1. After the system is installed. 2. Once weekly thereafter. 3. After prolonged absence from the dwelling (e.g. after holiday period). 4. After repair or servicing of any of the systems elements or household electrical work. To test the Alarm press and hold the test button. The Alarm will respond with one of the following status conditions:
1. The green LED will flash and the horn will sound to indicate the Alarm is powered and operating correctly. accordance to Table 4. 2. If there is a fault condition the amber LED will flash and the horn will beep in 3. If the memory has been set the RED light will flash and the horn will give a full alarm sound (see section 2 - CO Alarm Memory. The Carbon Monoxide Alarm checks for CO gas every 4 seconds and when exposed to the CO gas, the red light will flash (as per Table 2) to confirm that it is detecting the CO gas. 3) These appliances must breathe in air to burn the fuel properly. Know where the air comes from and ensure vents/air bricks etc. remain unobstructed (particularly after building work).
(4) The appliances must also breathe out the waste gases (including the CO) usually through a flue or chimney. Ensure chimneys and flues are not blocked or leaking, and get them checked every year. Check for excessive rust or cracks on appliances and pipe work.
(5) Never leave your car, motor bike or lawnmower engine running in the garage with the garage door closed. Never leave the door from the house to the garage open if the car is running.
(6) Never adjust your own gas pilot lights.
(7) Never use a gas cooker or a barbecue for home heating.
(8) Children should be warned of the dangers of CO poisoning and instructed never to touch, or interfere with the CO Alarm. Do not allow small children to press the test/hush button as they could be subjected to excessive noise when the CO Alarm sounds.
(9) Leaving windows or doors slightly open (even a few inches) will significantly reduce the risk of high levels of CO occurring. The high levels of draft-proofing in modern houses reduces ventilation and can allow dangerous gases to build up. (10) Install CO Alarms in all the areas recommended in this booklet.
(11) Recognize that CO poisoning may be the cause when family members suffer from flu-like symptoms when at home but feel better when they are away for extended periods. Normal Operation Power Up Standby Button Test
