Remote Storage Safety 3
Alarm Installation Guide
Model: RAD-0102-6
Product Description
Thank you for selecting the RAD-0102-6 Remote
Storage Safety 3 Alarm.
This monitor is designed to protect customers
and workers, anywhere bulk carbon dioxide is
used or stored.
Today, CO2 alarms are required in many local
state jurisdictions to meet fire codes. The RAD-
0102-6 is designed specifically to meet all code
requirements for CO2 storage safety. The
Remote Storage Safety 3 Alarm constantly
measures and monitors enclosed areas for higher
than normal levels of carbon dioxide gas.
If a CO2 leak occurs, visible and audible alarms
will sound on the sensor unit and on the remote
display – to warn you and your employees.
The RAD-0102-6 Remote Storage Safety 3 Alarm is cost-effective and has
many features:
• Separate SEU (Main Sensor Unit) andRDU (Remote Display Unit)
allow you tosee warning before entering anenclosed area. Up to 3
RDUs can be used.
• Large digital LCD display clearly indicates the ambient CO2
concentration.
• Relay outputs to control ventilation devices.
• Audible and Visual Alarm Indications at three separate alarm
levels.
• Ability to add strobes or strobe towers for additional indication.

2.
NOTE: All the necessary mounting hardware
(screws, mounting brackets, power supply strip) are included.
All you will need is standard screwdriver, for basic installation.
*There are 3 additional universal power plugs included, so as
the system can be installed worldwide.
Installation Steps
1. Choose a suitable location near a wall outlet to install the SEU.
2. To install the SEU (Sensor Unit) start by making a mark about 18
inches off the floor. (CO2 is heavier than air and will settle at the
floor, first.)
3. Screw the mounting bracket into the wall where you placed your
mark. If you are using the wall adapter, mount the sensor unit close
to a wall outlet. (Make sure it is mounted an area that it will not
accidently get hit by boxes or heavy machinery).
4. Attach one end of the ethernet cable to the SEU (Sensor Unit), then
slide the Sensor Unit onto the mounted bracket on the wall.
5. Plug in the wall adapter – the SEU (Sensor Unit) should
automatically turn on and perform a self-check.
6. Securely attach the safety strap over the power supply, to ensure it
does not become accidently unplugged.
7. The Green light should appear and show that the SEU (Sensor
Unit) has power.
8. Over the next few minutes, all lights will flash, and resort back to
green. This means the CO2 level is matching the ambient CO2 level
in the room and provide you with a precise, accurate ppm (parts per
million) reading.

Next, the Small Remote Display Install
1. Make a mark for the RDU (Remote Display Unit) outside the room where the
SEU is and CO2 is stored. Screw the mounting bracket where the mark is.
(Should be mounted at eye level.)
a.Plug in the other end of the ethernet cable into the back of the RDU (Remote
Display Unit)
b.Mountthe RDU onto the bracket on the wall, the input on the Remote
Display Unit should be connected to the output on the SEU (Sensor Unit).
c. Place the warning signs that came with the device, on the wall directly next
to the RDU. (The signs should be visible).
Perform a Test
1. To testifthe monitor isoperating correctly, you can do a simple test. Normal
Indoor Air Quality Levels are between 400-1200ppm.
2. To test the device, simply blow (huff) onthe hole located on the lefttop corner
of theSEU. Your exhaled breath is about 3%CO2 which is more than enough
toset off the alarm.
3. *Verify that the alarms aresounding, and the lights are flashing, on both the
SEU and RDU.
4. Now you know the monitor isworking, thealarm will stop once the CO2
returns toa normal level.
(You can also press the reset alarm button onthe SEU to silence the alarm.)

Installation Connector Options
1. For new build installations, the sensor unit can bepowered by
Power+24VDC
2. 4~20mA outputs are included for offsite CO2 monitoring
3. In the case of a power outage, the 6VDC Battery Backup can beinstalled
to retain the alarm settings.
4. If you have more than onedoor, in the CO2 Storage Area – you can also
purchase additional display units (up to three RDU’s can bedisplayed to a
main SEU unit - up to a maximum of 300 ft.
Installation Example:

•Power + 24 VDC MAX– The RAD-0102-6 is powered from 12 to 24 Volts
DC. You may use the supplied 12 Volt DC Power Adapter or other 12 to 24
Volt DC Power Source.
•Power -Ground
•Battery + Back-up battery
•Battery -Back-up battery Ground
•CL01:4-20mA 4-20 mA for CO2: 0 to 50,000ppm

1.0%,1.5%,2.0%,2.5%,3.0%.
•Relay 3 – is activated by Alarm 3.
•Alarm 3 can be configured to alarm when CO2 Concentration reaches
Alarm 3 Set Point.

Product Care
To insure you receive the maximum benefit from using this product, observe
these guidelines:
• Repair - Do not attempt to repair the product or modify the circuitry
by yourself. Please contact CO2Meter directly if the product needs
servicing, including the replacement or calibration of the sensor.
Contact [email protected]mfor further information.
• Cleaning - Disconnect the power before cleaning. Use a damp
cloth. Do not use liquid cleaning agents such as benzene, thinner or
aerosols, as these will damage thedevice.
• Maintenance – We recommend testing the communication between
the SEU andRDU under ‘DIAG” function. If these five LEDs blink
and the buzzer of SEU and RDU sound simultaneously, it indicates
that SEU and RDU work normally.

Safety Notes
Warning: Your safety is very important to us. To ensure to use the product
correctly and safety, please read these warnings and the entire User
Manual before using the product. Otherwise, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired. These warnings provide important safety
information and should always be observed.
1. Please handle the device carefully; do not subject the product
to impact orshock. Otherwise, this may cause the accuracy
drift.
2. Do not place the unit near a heat source. Heat can cause distortion of
the unit, which may result in an explosion or fire.
3. Do not touch the exposed electronic circuitry of the device under any
circumstances, as there is the dangerous of electric shocks.
4. Please take care of cable connection between SEU and RDU. Make
sure the cable from SEU is connected into the INPUT port of RDU.
5. Please ensure the external power supply is normally supplied to
ventilation fan while the relay is working. If there has no normally
power supply to the fan, the relay will not work, which may result in
potential danger with lower O2 concentration in confined space
