holes center is 52mm, then inserting two plastic stopper provided
into the holes.
2. Insert the two screws provided until the screw heads are approxi-
mately 5mm from wall.
3. Test the unit by using the TEST/SILENCE button. Ensure the unit
sound is alarm pattern.
4. Hook the unit over the screws onto keyholes in back of unit.
1.3 Recommended installation locations
The following suggestions are intended to help you with the place-
ment and installation of your CO alarm.
•Place out of the reach of children. Under no circumstance should
children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.
•Install in a bedroom or hallway located close to the sleeping area.
Take special care to verify the alarm can be heard in sleeping areas.
•It is recommended that a CO alarm be installed on each level of a
multilevel home.
•Locate 1~3 meter (3.3~10feet) away from all fuel burning appli-
ances.
•Placing at eye level allows for optimum monitoring of the red and
green indicator lights.
•Insure that all vents of the unit are unobstructed. holes of the wall
plastic stopper distance : 52mm
•Do not install in dead air spaces such as peaks of vaulted ceilings,
or gabled roofs.
•Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans.
•Do not place near fresh air vents or close to doors and windows
that open to the outside.
•Keep the CO alarm away from excessively dusty, dirty, or greasy
areas such as kitchens, garages and furnace rooms. Dust, grease
•Keep out of damp and humid areas such as the bath room. Avoid
spraying aerosols near the CO alarm.
•Do not install in areas where the temperature is below-10℃ or
hotter than 45℃.
•Do not place behind curtains or furniture. CO must be able to
reach the sensor for the unit to accurately detect CO.
Carbon Monoxice Alarm Manual
MODEL NR.: CC-4100
Thank you for purchasing the CC-4100 carbon monoxide (CO) alarm.
This unit uses advanced electrochemical sensor, and with LCD digital
display for CO concentration. Please take a few minutes to thoroughly
read the user manual before operating or servicing and familiarize
yourself and your family with its operation. And save for future refe-
rence.

This CO alarm is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to
rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not open or
tamper with the alarm as this could cause malfunction. The alarm
will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
when the battery has drained. Installation of the alarm should not
be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenan-
ce of fuel burning appliances including appropriate ventilation
and exhaust systems.
WARNING! - Do NOT try to repair the device, it has the risk of elect-
ric shock or malfunction if the device is tampered with.

alarms, when the device return to standby mode, and the CO concen-
tration <20PPM, LCD displays „AL“ and ALARM indicator (red) ash
per 40 seconds. After press TEST/SILENCE button or after 48 hours,
will reset the historical memory function and enter normal operation
status.
4. What to do if the alarm sounds
WARNING! – Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of
Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.
WARNING! – Action of this device indicates the presence of dan-
gerous levels of CO! CO can be fatal!
If the alarm sounds:
4.1 Keep calm and open all doors and windows to increase the rate
of ventilation. Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and ensure, if
possible, that they are turned o, e.g. for gas appliances, isolate the
emergency control valve;
4.2 If the alarm continues to be activated, then evacuate the premi-
ses. Leave the doors and windows open, and only reenter the buil-
ding when the alarm has stopped. In multi-occupancy and multi-sto-
rey premises, ensure that all the occupants are alerted to the risk;
4.3 Get medical help for anyone suering the eects of carbon mon-
oxide poisoning, and advise that carbon monoxide inhalation is su-
spected;
4.4 Telephone the appropriate appliance servicing and/or mainte-
nance agency or, when necessary, the relevant fuel supplier on their
emergency number or the national Gas Emergency Service Provider,
if appropriate, so that the source of carbon monoxide emissions can
be identied and corrected. Unless the reason for the alarm is obvi-
ously spurious, do not use the fuel-burning appliances again, until
they have been checked and cleared for use by a competent person
according to national regulations.
5. Battery installation/replacement
Once chirps with corresponding FAULT indicator (yellow LED) as-
hing once every 40 seconds indicates that the battery is low battery,
you must to replace with battery specied, please see “8. Specica-
tion“.
To install or replace the battery in unit, please perform the following
steps:
5.1 Take down the unit from screw heads of the wall.
5.2 Open battery compartment.
5.3 Remove the old battery, and replaced by new battery.
5.4 Put the battery into the battery box.
5.5 Hook the alarm over the screw heads onto keyholes in back of
the unit.
5.6 Test alarm using the TEST/SILENCE button, if the testing alarm is
ok, means the product can work normally.
WARNING! - Use only the battery specied. Use of dierent battery
may have a detrimental eect on the CO alarm. A good safety mea-
sure is to replace the battery at least once a year.
CAUTION: Please replace new 2pcs same type batteries in the me-
antime.
CAUTION: Test the alarm for correct operation using the TEST/SI-
LENCE button, whenever the battery is replaced!
6. Gerneral maintenance
To keep your CO alarm in good working order, please follow these
simple steps:

4
6.1 Verify the unit‘s alarm sound and indicators operation by enable
the TEST/SILENCE button once a week.
6.2 Remove the unit from the wall and clean the alarm cover and
vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to remove dust
and dirt.
6.3 Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the unit.
6.4 Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near
the CO alarm.
6.5 Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with
the sensor‘s ability to detect CO. Never attempt to disassemble the
unit or clean inside. This action will void your warranty.
6.6 As soon as possible, place the CO alarm back in its proper location
to assure continuous protection from carbon monoxide poisoning.
6.7 When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are
used, the area should be ventilated.
WARNING! - The following substances can aect the sensor and
may cause false actions: methane, propane, isobutene, isopropa-
nol, ethylene, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulde,
sulfur dioxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner, solvents,
adhesives, hair sprays, after shaves ,perfumes and some cleaning
agents.
WARNING! - Your CO alarm will not be operational and will not mo-
nitor for CO levels without battery.
WARNING! - This apparatus is designed to protect individuals from
the acute eects of carbon monoxide exposure. It will not fully sa-
feguard individuals with specic medical conditions. If in doubt
consult a medical practitioner.
7. Carbon monoxide (CO) and toxic eects
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, nonirritating gas
classied as a chemical asphyxiant and whose toxic action is a direct
result of the hypoxia produced by a given exposure. CO is rapidly ab-
sorbed through the lungs, diuses across the alveolar capillary mem-
brane and is reversibly bound with haemoglobin as carboxyhaemog-
lobin (COHb), however, a minute amount is present in the plasma.
The anity of haemoglobin for CO is over 200 times its anity for
oxygen. This reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, and
has an eect on the dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin, which further
reduces the oxygen supply to the tissues. CO is chemically unchan-
ged in the body, and is eliminated in expired air. The elimination is
determined by the same factors that applied during absorption. The
half-life while breathing room air is 2 h -6,5 h depending on the ini-
tial COHb level. If the CO level in the inhaled air is constant, the level
of COHb in the blood will approach an equilibrium (saturation) state
after several hours. However, the rate at which the equilibrium is rea-
ched depends on many factors, e.g. lung ventilation rate (physical ac-
tivity) and alveolar capillary transfer, cardiac parameters, blood hae-
moglobin concentration, barometric pressure, oxygen and carbon
dioxide concentration in the inhaled air, but the two most important
factors in determining the COHb level are the CO concentration and
the duration of exposure.
