5. Alarm Characteristics
Carbon Monoxide Alarm Indicator
When the alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit will emit a
loud alarm pattern. The alarm pattern is 4 quick beeps followed by 5
seconds of silence. This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO condi-
tions exist. The red Alarm LED will flash the same pattern (and the PPM
will be displayed on alarms with digital displays).
WARNING: When powered by battery backup only; after four min-
utes, the alarm will sound and flash only once every minute, until the
alarm is reset or the CO is eliminated.
If the battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions, it will display
other readings (and alarm differently) to alert you of specific conditions.
Please familiarize yourself, and other family members, to the difference
between a CO reading and and indication signifying a problem with the
unit itself.
WARNING: If at any time you test the alarm and it does not
perform as described, have it replaced immediately.
Important Labels Provided
Two labels have been provided that have important information on what
to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency
service provider in the space provided. Place one label next to the alarm
after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air source such as a door
or window.
4. Installation Instructions
Whenever the alarm is operating, the digital display will display “0” to
indicate the unit is monitoring for CO. If the alarm senses dangerous lev-
els of CO, the digital display will indicate the CO concentration in parts
per million (PPM), and the alarm will emit an audible alarm pattern.
This alarm will display a “0” if CO concentrations between 0 and 30
PPM have been detected within the last 15 seconds.
When the unit is first powered up, the digital display will show three
“eights” – indicating the alarm is in the start-up mode. The three
“eights” will remain for approximately 20 seconds. After 20 seconds,
