These instructions include information on the installation,
maintenance, and operation of the carbon monoxide (CO)
alarm that is installed in your residence. It is important to read,
to follow,and to keep these instructions in a handy location so
you can refer to them as necessary. A properly installed and
maintained CO alarm is an important part of your residential
safety plan. Therefore, you and your family should read and
follow this manual thoroughly.
In the event you have questions regarding the use of this CO
alarm,call [phone], Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Pacific Standard Time. View our other innovative products
on the web at www.ccicontrols.com.
When the alarm sounds on this device and the RED Alarm
indicator light flashes, they indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO) which can be FATAL. The alarm will continue
to sound until the carbon monoxide has dissipated or until the
mute button is activated.
4) If your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period,
repeat above steps and call a qualified appliance
technician.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the pres-
ence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas at the sensor. CO
gas may be present in other areas of the residence.
What are the symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning?
CO is an odorless, colorless, invisible, tasteless and non-
irritating gas that is almost undetectable to your five senses. In
many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, people report
feeling sick and too disoriented to exit the residence or to call
for assistance. Therefore, it is important to know the symp-
toms of exposure to CO that could result in poisoning.
Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, and/or
fatigue (often described as flu-like symptoms).
Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness,
disorientation, confusion and/or a fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure: Unconciousness, convulsions, cardio-
respiratory failure, and death.
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by
either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young
children and household pets may be the first affected.
If alarm sounds (4 beeps every 5 seconds):
1) Depress the mute button.
(telephone number)
3) Immediately move to fresh air outside, or by an
open door or window. Do a head count to check that
all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the
premises or move away from the open door or
window until the emergency service personnel
have arrived, the premises have been aired out,
and your alarm returns to its normal condition.
2) Call your emergency services .
[Fire Department or 911]

Where does carbon monoxide come from?
Carbon Monoxide gas is a by-product of the incomplete
burning process of any fuel, including, but not limited to,
gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, charcoal or wood. All
appliances that burn fuel including cooking stoves, lamps,
space heaters,clothes dryers, furnaces, hot water heaters,
and engines from RVs, RV generators, cars and trucks
produce CO.
When appliances are in good working condition with proper
combustion and ventilation, lethal carbon monoxide gas is
vented outdoors where it quickly disperses. However, a safety
hazard can occur when an appliance malfunctions and
produces CO that is not fully vented. CO polluted air inside a
residence can quickly build to lethal levels.
As a safety precaution, keep fuel-burning appliances and
vents in good working condition with annual inspections and
regular maintenance. Learn the early symptoms of CO
exposure and regularly test and maintain your CO alarm to
ensure it is in good working order. If you suspect CO
poisoning, move outside to fresh air and seek emergency help.
Warning: The installation of the CO alarm should not be used
as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance
of fuel burning appliances,including appropriate ventilation and
exhaust systems.
Testing your CO alarm.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CARBON MONOXIDE GAS ALARM
MODEL 3400 for RESIDENTIAL USE
It is important to test your CO alarm regularly.
TEST ALARM OPERATION AT LEAST ONCE
PER MONTH DURING USE.
To test the electronics of the CO alarm, press and release the
test button. The alarm should sound a beep four times and the
RED alarm indicator light will flash four times. In addition, the
indicator lights are also tested. The GREEN power indicator
light will turn off and the ORANGE Fault/Low Voltage indicator
light will illuminate temporarily. If the CO alarm does not
respond in this manner, then refer to the troubleshooting
section.
Operating Instructions.
The CO alarm will only detect CO gas if the proper power is
supplied. Once power is supplied (or re-supplied) to the alarm,
it will perform a brief warm-up and self-check process before
beginning to monitor for carbon monoxide gas.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sen-
sor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in
other areas.
CO Alarm Indicator Lights and Conditions.
Power. Once power is supplied, the GREEN power indicator
will turn on indicating the alarm is ready to detect CO gas.
Alarm Condition. When CO gas is present in alarm
concentrations, an alarm will sound and the RED alarm
indicator light will flash. The detector will continue to alarm
until the CO gas has dissipated or until the MUTE button is
momentarily pressed. If the MUTE button is pressed during
an alarm condition, the alarm will stop sounding and the RED
alarm indicator light will also stop flashing. If CO gas is still
present in alarm concentrations, the alarm will resume within
a few minutes depending on the concentration.
Fault / Low Voltage. In addition to sounding an alarm when
CO gas reaches a specific concentration at the gas sensor,
the CO alarm also:
1) Has an automatic self diagnostic system check (called
supervision) on the alarm's electronics to ensure reliable,
trouble-free operation;
2) Acts as a low voltage indicator for the voltage to the alarm.
Fault Condition. In the event the CO alarm senses a fault in
its electronics, the ORANGE Fault indicator light will illuminate
continuously (not flashing) and then sound a beep once every
five seconds. The GREEN power indicator will then turn off,
indicating that the alarm is no longer monitoring for CO gas.
If such action should occur, call CCI Controls for assistance
during normal business hours. (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST)
Low Voltage Condition. This CO alarm has been designed
to operate with a proper power source. Without the correct
voltage, the CO alarm may not detect carbon monoxide at the
gas sensor. In the event that the CO alarm senses that a low
voltage condition exists, the ORANGE Low Voltage indicator
will illuminate continuously (not flashing) and then sound a
beep once every sixty seconds. The GREEN Power indicator
light will then turn off indicating that the alarm is no longer
monitoring for CO gas.
Note: Unlike the separate indicator lights for the GREEN
power and RED alarm, the Fault and Low Voltage conditions
share the same ORANGE indicator light.
Mute/Self-Test. The Mute/Self-Test button serves two pur-
poses: (1) to mute or silence the alarm and ( 2) to perform
a self-test. See Alarm Condition above and Testing Your CO
Alarm.

MODEL 34OO WIRING INSTRUCTIONS.
Installation, Mounting and Wiring Instructions.
Installation and repair of this CO gas alarm should be performed by a
qualified technician. Technicians should leave these instructions in the
residence following the installation. Call CCI Controls or your dealer for
repair or replacement.
Since people are probably at most risk while asleep, it is suggested that
CO gas alarms should be installed near sleeping areas. The alarm's
sounder provides an 85 decibel alarm at 10 feet and is designed to meet
regulatory standards. If the residence has sleeping areas at opposite
ends, consider installing multiple alarms or locate the alarm between
both sleeping areas, keeping in mind the 85 decibels at 10 feet rule.
Do Not install the CO gas alarm:
•Behind furniture (including drapes) or in enclosed areas (such
as a closet or cabinet) that do not have air circulation;
•Within 12 inches of all windows, exterior doors, heating or return
vents, or other drafty areas;
•Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance; or,
•In locations where the normal ambient temperature is below
4.4°C (40°F) or exceed 37.8°C (100°F).
This CO gas alarm contains no serviceable parts. This CO gas alarm
and wiring instructions are for residential use only. All wiring methods
shall be in accordance with the applicable National Electrical Code or
Canadian Electrical Code.
Mount within three feet of the ceiling and at least 12
inches away from any corner or window. For flush
mount, cut a hole 2 5/8 inches high by 5 7/8 inches
wide. The CO gas alarm should be tested immediately
following the initial installation.
This carbon monoxide alarming device
is intended for the detection of CO gas
only from any source of combustion. It is
not intended to detect other gases, and it
has not been tested to detect other
gases. This CO gas alarm will NOT detect
smoke or fire.
This CO gas detector is a safety device, it must not
be connected in such a way as to allow it to be
switched off by use of a wall switch or similar device
or to become disconnected from its power supply due
to the use of a GFCI protected circuit.
This CO gas alarm has a time-weighted alarm so the
higher the concentration of carbon monoxide present,
the earlier the alarm will sound. This CO alarm meets
the alarm response time requirements of UL Standard
2034 that are as follows:
At 70ppm(+/- 5ppm), the unit must alarm within
60-240 minutes.
At 150ppm(+/- 5ppm), the unit must alarm within
10-50 minutes.
At 400ppm(+/- 5ppm), the unit must alarm within
4-15 minutes.
This CO gas alarm will not alarm at low CO gas levels.
Individuals with medical or health problems should con-
sider using other warning devices that provide audible and
visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under
30 parts per million (PPM). This CO gas alarm is not
intended to detect CO gas below 70 ppm.

What You Should Know About
Interaction With Other Products.
Never ignore a CO alarm. A true alarm is an indication of
potentially dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. This CO
alarm is designed to provide an early warning signal to alert you
to the presence of CO gas at the gas sensor. The alarm is
designed to sound before most people will experience danger-
ous symptoms of CO poisoning. If you have special health
conditions or medical problems, you should consider purchas-
ing other warning devices which provide audible and visual
signals for CO concentrations under 30 parts per million
(PPM).
In concentrated amounts, some common household products
may cause the alarm to sound. These items could include
alcohol, liquor, kerosene, gasoline, deodorants, colognes,
household cleaning products and aerosols. When this occurs,
air out the residence and the CO alarm with fresh air.
Sometimes the CO alarm can sound because of:
Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gases
near the ground;
Obstructed vent pipes or unvented fuel burning appli-
ances;
Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes
dryers,heaters or furnaces;
High outside wind causing CO to back up in the air
vent pipes;
Negative air pressure resulting from the use of exhaust
fans;
Simultaneous use of several fuel burning appliances
competing for internal air;
Fuel-powered vehicles or equipment idling nearby.
Important Notes:
Some products may prevent or delay your CO gas alarm
from detecting carbon monoxide. Therefore, your CO gas
alarm should not be:
Installed too low where items such as water and other
household chemicals can pollute the sensor;
Covered, obstucted, or painted;
Exposed to sulfur products or powders of any kind.
