Assembly
1. Place the base at the desired location (on a at surface). You can use the base as a drilling
template. Attach the base with suitable bonding material * according to the substrate.
2. Insert the batteries into the detector and check that they are correctly positioned (a
detector functionality message will be sent to the application when the batteries are
inserted).
3. Set DIP 1 as required.
4. Attach the detector to the base so that the projection on the base faces the tamper posi-
tion in the detector cover (a). Turn the detector clockwise (b).
5. Press the test button to test the correct alarm function (see Test Detector Test).
* Suitable tting material can be, for example, a countersunk head screw, a screw Ø of
3 mm.
Internet of Things (IoT)
• The IOT wireless communications category describes the Low Power Wide Area
(LPWA). This technology is designed to provide full-range coverage both inside and
outside buildings, energy-saving and low-cost operation of individual devices. The
LoRa network is available to use this standard.
LoRa network information
• The network is bidirectional and its communication uses free frequency band.
• 865 - 867 MHz India
• 867 - 869 MHz Europe
• 902 - 928 MHz North America, Japan, Korea
• The advantage of this network is the possibility of freely deploying individual stations
in local locations, thus strengthening their signal. It can therefore be used eciently in
company premises or, for example, in local parts of cities.
• For more information on this technology, please visit www.lora-alliance.org.
Caution for proper operation:
• Products are installed according to the wiring diagram given for each product.
• For proper device functionality, it is necessary to have sucient coverage of the selec-
ted network at the installation site.
• At the same time, the device must be registered in the network. Successful device re-
gistration on a given network requires a charge for trac.
• Each network oers dierent tari options - it always depends on the number of me-
ssages you want to send from your device. Information on these taris can be found in
the current version of the ELKO EP pricelist.

Function
The detector detects carbon monoxide (CO) content in conned spaces by means of a
sensor. It is designed to alert you to the presence of CO before the condition becomes
critical - that is, before most people experience the symptoms of CO poisoning, so you
have time to solve the problem calmly.
Indications and states of the detector:
After inserting the batteries, the detector sends a preliminary message containing the
measured values of temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO status and rmware ver-
sion of the device.
• The detector scans every 10 seconds, the green LED blinks at the same time (the LED
can be turned o by a DIP switch). Every 10 minutes the detector senses temperature,
humidity and light intensity. It sends the measured and status data report at six hour
intervals.
• Alarm indication for CO detection:
30 ppm = no alarm signalled within 120 minutes.
50 ppm = alarm signalling within 60-90 minutes.
100 ppm = Alarm signalling within 10-40 minutes.
Above 300 ppm, the detector must declare an alarm within 3 minutes.
• Alarm - sensor detects CO, red LED flashes at 1 second, detector sounds loud, intermit-
tent “beep”. Terminate alarm by ventilating the CO (fan ...).
• Dead battery:
- sending a message to the server
- Every 5 seconds 3x the red LED on the detector will flash.
• Detector failure:
- sending a message to the server
- Indication of the yellow LED on the detector and one short beep every 40 seconds.
• Removed from base:
- sending a message to the server.
- every 2 seconds the red LED on the detector blinks.
Placement recommendations
• The detector is intended for indoor use.
Therefore, use it exclusively for scanning in
closed, dry and dust-free areas.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings remain
free and do not block it with other applianc-
es, furniture or other objects.
• Place the detector in such a place that the
ambient air can ow through the device.
Important Notice
• The detector can only warn you in time if it is properly installed and properly main-
tained and tested according to the instructions.
• The detector is not suitable as a measuring instrument or part of a device to alert in the
presence of gas, smoke or exhaust gases, or as part of a re alarm or similar security
device.
• It does not detect smoke, re or other poison gas except carbon monoxide, although
carbon monoxide can arise in a re. Therefore, it is advisable to install smoke detectors
for early warning when a re occurs.
• WARNING: This detector detects only the presence of carbon monoxide that reaches
the sensor. However, carbon monoxide can occur in other areas.
• It is not intended for verication of normative values.
• The installation of this device does not replace the proper installation, use and mainte-
nance of combustion equipment, including sucient ventilation and exhaust system.
It does not prevent the formation of carbon monoxide, nor can it solve existing prob-
lems with CO.
• For your own safety it is necessary to know the possible sources of CO in your home.
Keep fuel systems and their chimneys and ventilation in good condition.
• Control and regular maintenance of your equipment is very important for your protec-
tion. Contact a licensed vendor or local utility company.
• The detector is not intended for installation in an industrial environment.
• Always be aware of potential dangers, develop safety awareness, and take precautions
to avoid dangers whenever and wherever needed. The detector can reduce the likeli-
hood of catastrophe but cannot guarantee 100% safety.
• Detailed information on the selection, installation, use and maintenance of carbon
monoxide detectors in residential buildings can be found in EN 50292 ED.2.
Information about carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide is a colourless poisonous non-irritating gas without taste and odour;
it prevents the transmission of oxygen in the blood. It is highly toxic to the human body.
It is extremely ammable.
In homes, the most common sources of CO equipment are used for heating and cooking.
Sources of dangerous CO concentrations can also be realised from vehicles in adjacent
garages.
CO may arise from the combustion of fossil fuels, such as gasoline, propane, natural gas,
naphtha and wood. It can escape from any defective, improperly installed or poorly ven-
tilated facility.
CO concentrations in air are measured in ppm (parts per million).
At increased concentrations of CO in air (150-220 ppm) within 2-3 hours headache, dizzi-
ness, nausea, blunted thinking and congestion in the face occurs, longer exposure is life
threatening. Concentrations of about 400 ppm show confusion, vomiting, drowsiness
moving to unconsciousness and life-threatening condition can occur after 2-3 hours of
remaining in this environment. Higher concentrations are manifested by convulsions,
unconsciousness with breathlessness, shock, and the person is in direct danger to life.
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, its long-term exposure at low con-
centrations can cause symptoms of poisoning as well as short-term exposure at high
concentrations. Remember the early symptoms of CO poisoning, and if there are any
suspicions of poisoning, move out to fresh air and call for help.
We recommend that you take special precautions to protect people with the highest
risk, as symptoms of poisoning may already occur with less CO than with a healthy adult.
In the event of uncertainty, consult a physician.
ceiling
oor
Appropriate location
• Carbon monoxide has the same density as the air in the room
and is therefore uniformly dispersed. However, since CO orig-
inates as a product of an incomplete combustion process, it
is very likely that it will have a higher temperature than the
ambient air and will therefore slowly climb to the ceiling. De-
tector location is useful at a height of about 1.6 m above the
oor.
- If you attach the device to a wall, it must be higher than the
top edge of the window and door but at least 15 cm below the ceiling.
- If you attach the device to the ceiling, it must be at least 30 cm from each wall
- If the ceiling is inclined, place the device in the upper part of the room
• To increase security, detectors should be installed in any room with a fuel-burning ap-
pliance (gas, wood, coal, etc.) 2-3 meters away from the CO source (boiler, replace,
water heater ...).
• Warning sound of the detector must be heard in the bedroom and rooms where you
regularly spend time.
• In one-room sleeping and living rooms at the same time, such as studios, caravans or
boats, the detector should be placed as near as possible to the sleeping area and as far
as possible from the stove or combustion point.
• It is recommended that the CO detector be installed on each oor of a multi-storey
house (e.g. CO in the cellar may not reach the alarm on the 1st oor).
Inappropriate location
• In areas with limited air circulation e.g.: vestibule, niches, etc.
• In places where there is a sudden change in temperature or humidity. Where conden-
sation occurs.
• In close proximity to windows, doors, ventilation devices,
• In direct proximity to persons or animals.
• In direct sunlight or near a heat source.
• Do not place in a kitchen, garage or boiler room so that the sensor could come into
contact with substances that could destroy or contaminate it.
• Do not place near ventilation ducts, smoke ues, chimneys, or any air vents.
• Do not place in areas with xed air such as tops of arched ceilings or shielded roofs,
where the CO may not have reached the sensor suciently quickly to alert you.
• Do not place this device near large batteries. Large batteries have emissions that can
reduce the detector’s operational capability.
wall
Testing the detector
Long press the test button to start the detector test. During the test, the green LED
ashes (two ashes every second). The siren’s activity is rst tested - a long tone sounds.
After a successful test, the detector ashes and beeps three times. The application will
automatically send a message about the successful completion of the test.
If the detector does not signal properly, check the correct detector assembly, the battery
location, replace the batteries, and then repeat the test.
WARNING
Every detector must be tested regularly to ensure that it is properly installed and work-
ing properly.
• Test the detectors regularly at least once a week.
• When testing the device, keep the distance from the detector to the length of your arm
or use hearing protection.
• Teach children to avoid touching the detector or interfering with the device. Warn the
children against the risk of poisoning with carbon monoxide.
• Keep the detector clean.
• If it does not work properly, replace it immediately.

Replacing batteries
1. Rotate the detector counter clockwise and remove it from the base.
2. Remove the original battery and insert new batteries into the battery holder. Beware of
polarity. The red LED on the detector will blink.
3. Attach the detector to the base so that the projection on the base faces the tamper posi-
tion in the detector cover. Turn the detector clockwise.
4. Press the test button to test the correct alarm function (see Test Detector). WARNING -
do not damage the test button during battery replacement, the device may not work
properly.
Notice:
Only use batteries designed for this product correctly inserted in the device! Immediately replace
weak batteries with new ones. Do not use new and used batteries together. If necessary, clean the
battery and contacts prior to using. Avoid battery shorts! Do not dispose of batteries in water or
re. Do not dismantle batteries, do not try to charge them and protect them from extreme heating
- danger of leakage! Upon contact with acid, immediately rinse the aected area with a stream of
water and seek medical attention. Keep batteries out of the reach of children. If it is suspected that
the battery has been swallowed or somehow placed inside the body, consult a doctor immediately.
Give the doctor information about the type of battery (from battery case, device or its manual, etc.)
to determine the chemical composition of the battery. Batteries must be recycled or returned to an
appropriate location (e.g. collection container) in accordance with local legal provisions.
What to do when CO is detected
If an alarm signal sounds and the detector is not being tested, CO is detected. Your imme-
diate attention and actions are required.
1. Call the emergency line to give you location by phone and follow exactly the instruc-
tions you are given for your situation.
2. Open the door / window and move to an area of fresh air. Ensure that all persons have
left the area. Check that none of the “aected” persons have signs of CO poisoning.
In many cases, CO poisoning causes victims to realize that they do not feel well but
become so disoriented that they are unable to save themselves either by escaping
from the building or by calling for help. ATTENTION - children and pets may be at risk.
3rd Do not enter the area until help arrives, the space is suciently ventilated and the
detector returns to normal.
• If the aected area is suciently ventilated by opening the windows and doors, the ac-
cumulated CO may dissipate before the help arrives. Although your problem may be
temporarily resolved, it is imperative to identify the CO source and make the appropriate
corrections!
• If the alarm is reactivated within 24 hours, repeat steps 1-3 and contact a qualied tech-
nician to check and / or turn o your equipment that could be the source of CO leakage
(e.g. water heater, stove, oven, tumble dryer If the car is in the adjacent garage, turn the
engine o.).
First aid
Move out in to the fresh air. If any symptoms of CO poisoning occur, contact a doctor!
Check that all people have left the room. If you nd that a person remained in the area
immediately call the medical rescue service on the phone they will tell you exactly what
you do in a given situation.
If you need to return the aected area, it is always necessary to ensure maximum safety
- carbon monoxide can poison the rescuer do not try to breathe in the room. Alterna-
tively, you can vent the room by opening all windows. But you do not breathe at any price,
even though the mask! You have to breathe fresh air! Take the aected person out of the
contaminated area to fresh air. If the aected person breathes, keep them in a stabilized
position. If they are not breathing, initiate articial respiration. If they are in cardiac arrest,
start resuscitation.
To ensure proper operation, it is advisable to keep the detector clean.
• At least once every 6 months, clean the surface using a soft brush or cloth. Using a brush-
less vacuum cleaner, carefully clear the cover and the ventilation holes from dust and
dirt.
• Never use water, detergents or solvents. The detector may be damaged.
• Do not use any chemicals near the device (such as cleaning products, hair spray ...) fumes
can adversely affect the function of the device.
• Do not apply colour to the detector. When painting, remove the detector and return to
the location after the work has finished.
• Do not disassemble the detector; do not attempt to clean the inside of the detector.
• After every cleaning, test the detector!
• If you do not use the detector for a long time, remove it, remove the batteries. Wrap the
detector and store it in a cool, dry place.

Warning
Read the operating instructions before installing the device and putting it into opera-
tion. Instruction manual is designated for mounting and also for user of the device. It is
always a part of its packing. Installation and connection can be carried out only by a per-
son with adequate professional qualication upon understanding this instruction man-
ual and functions of the device, and while observing all valid regulations. Trouble-free
function of the device also depends on transportation, storing and handling. In case you
notice any sign of damage, deformation, malfunction or missing part, do not install this
device and return it to its seller. It is necessary to treat this product and its parts as elec-
tronic waste after its lifetime is terminated. Before starting installation, make sure that all
wires, connected parts or terminals are de-energized. While mounting and servicing ob-
serve safety regulations, norms, directives and professional, and export regulations for
working with electrical devices. Do not touch parts of the device that are energized – life
threat. To ensure the transmission of the radio signal, make sure that the devices in the
building where the installation is installed are correctly located. Unless otherwise stated,
the devices are not intended for installation in outdoor and damp areas, they must not
be installed in metal switchboards or in plastic cabinets with metal doors - this prevents
transmission of the radio frequency signal. iNELS Air is not recommended for control-
ling life-saving instruments or for controlling hazardous devices such as pumps, heaters
without thermostat, lifts, hoists, etc. - radio frequency transmission may be overshad-
owed by obstruction, interference, transmitter battery may be discharged etc., thereby
disabling the remote control.
