ENROLLMENT
The SiXCOMBO has a unique MAC ID number.
The heat, smoke, and CO are assigned to loops 1-
3 respectively and are enrolled in separate zones.
NOTE: Once enrolled, the device cannot be used
with another system until it is removed from
the current controller. See the 24-hour
Enrollment Deletion section below or the
controller’s instructions.
Enroll the Device Services (Smoke, Heat, CO)
1. Remove the detector from the base plate.
2. Put the control panel in Programming mode.
3. Pull the battery tab to activate enrollment
process (be sure batteries are seated properly to
avoid a false low battery condition). If the battery
tab has already been removed and the unit is
powered up, press either Test switch for less
than 3 seconds to activate the enrollment
process.
4. The device attempts enrollment (green LED flashes about 8 seconds). If
successful, the green LED lights steady for 3 seconds and the device
announces successful enrollment.
If the LED does not light steady, enrollment failed. Retry by pressing either
Test switch for less than 3 seconds.
All services (Smoke, Heat, and CO) are automatically enrolled in sequential

TESTING
Test communications between the detector and the control panel. The
detector mode has two test buttons; one for smoke testing and one for
CO testing.
The detector may also be functionally tested using canned smoke and
canned CO. If the detector fails any of the test methods, the detector
should be replaced.
NOTE: Testing the detector will activate the alarm and send a signal to the
panel. Before testing, notify the proper authorities to avoid any
false alarms.
Smoke Test (Alarm Test)
Press and hold the Smoke Test button for 1 to 2 seconds. The
detector will sound and illuminate per Table 2 and send a smoke alarm
signal to the control panel (all programmed smoke detector loops are
signaled). Verify that the smoke alarm signal was received at the
control panel.
Smoke System Test (Functional Smoke Test)
CANNED SMOKE NOTE: Detector sounds an alarm when using
canned smoke ONLY when in Functional Test mode (canned smoke
does not cause alarm sounding when in normal mode.)
Press and hold the Smoke Test button for 3 to 5 seconds to enter the
functional smoke test mode. See Functional Smoke Test section below.
Functional Smoke Test
With the detector in smoke system (functional) test mode, spray
canned smoke into the detector. The canned smoke that can be used
and is approved for test include: Home Safeguard Industries 25S, SDi
CHEK02 and CHEK06, SDi SOLOA4, and SDi SMOKESABRE.
1. The detector will sound and illuminate per Table 2 and a smoke
alarm signal will be sent to the panel.
2. Verify the smoke alarm signal was received by the control panel.
CO Test (Alarm Test)
Press and hold the CO Test button for 1 to 2 seconds. The control
panel should display and sound a CO alarm (all programmed CO
detector loops are sent).
CO System Test (Functional CO Test)
CANNED CO NOTE: Detector sounds an alarm when using canned
CO ONLY when in Functional Test mode (canned CO does not
cause alarm sounding when in normal mode.)
Press and hold the CO Test button for 3-5 seconds to enter the
functional gas test mode. See Functional Gas Test section below.
Functional Gas Test
Solo C6 brand canned CO may be used to verify the detector’s ability to
sense CO by utilizing the RealTest® feature as follows:
1. Press and hold the CO test button for 3 to 5 seconds. The green
LED will start blinking once per second indicating the detector is in
RealTest® mode. (If the detector will not go into RealTest® mode,
the CO sensor may be in fault or at end-of-life.)
2. While the green LED is blinking once per second, spray a small
amount of canned CO directly into the CO gas entry port.
3. Upon successful gas entry and if functioning properly, the detector
will go into CO alarm and send an alarm to the control panel.
4. The CO test will automatically clear when the CO clears from the
sensor or in 30 seconds if no CO was introduced.
HUSH FEATURE / ALARM SILENCE
If required, the audible alarm for smoke and CO conditions can be
silenced for 5 minutes by pushing the “Test/Hush” button. In addition,
low battery chirping can be silenced for 12 hours when the Test/Hush
button is pressed.
During a Smoke alarm, if an alarm condition still exists after the 5-
minute hush period, the alarm will sound. The hush feature will not
operate at levels above 4%/ft. smoke concentration.
During a CO alarm, if carbon monoxide is still present after the 5-minute
hush period, the alarm will sound. The hush feature will not operate at
levels above 350 ppm (parts per million) carbon monoxide.
CO SENSOR END-OF-LIFE FEATURE
When the CO sensor has passed end-of-life, a trouble signal will be
sent to the control panel (if programmed). This indicates that the CO
sensor inside the detector must be replaced. If unresolved for 30 days,
the detector will chirp every 45 seconds. The typical life of the CO
sensor is ten years from the date of manufacture. It is recommended to
periodically check the “Replace by” date located on the label on the
back of the detector head.

CLEANING
IMPORTANT: This detector must be tested and maintained
regularly following NFPA-72 requirements. The detector should
be cleaned at least once a year.
1. Remove the detector from the base plate by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Clean the outside casing with a cloth. Ensure that the holes
on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust.
Canned air can be used to remove any dust or debris.
3. Reattach the detector to the base plate by rotating
clockwise.
4. Test the detector to insure it is fully functional. (See Testing
section).
5. Notify the proper authorities and Central Station when the
system is back in service
REPLACING THE BATTERIES
CAUTION: The batteries used in this device may present a fire
or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge,
disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or dispose of in fire.
Use only Panasonic CR123A Lithium batteries. Use of other
batteries may present a risk of fire or explosion. Keep used
batteries away from children. Dispose of used batteries
properly.
Remove old batteries. Wait 10 seconds and then replace with
four new batteries. To avoid a low battery indication when
installing new batteries, all 4 batteries must be installed within
15 seconds of installing the first one. Any low battery condition
that may have occurred should clear when the base plate is
installed.
NOTE: Constant exposure to high or low temperature or high
humidity may reduce battery life.
LIMITED LIFE OF CO SENSOR
This detector is manufactured with a long-life electrochemical
carbon monoxide sensor. Over time the sensor will lose
sensitivity and will need to be replaced. The life span of the CO
sensor is approximately ten years from the date of manufacture.
Periodically check the detector’s replacement date. Remove the
detector head and refer to the ‘replace by’ sticker placed on the
underneath side of the detector. The sticker will indicate the
date the detector should be replaced.
Reminder: This detector is also equipped with a feature that will
signal the panel once the CO sensor has passed the end of its’
useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace the detector.
What to do if the detector goes into CO alarm:
If the detector goes into CO alarm (4 beeps), immediately
move to a spot where fresh air is available, preferably
outdoors, where the air is safe and call your security service
provider. Tell your provider the detector alarm status, and that
you require professional assistance in ridding your home of the
carbon monoxide.
This detector is NOT:
•A substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning
appliances or the sweeping of chimneys.
•To be used on an intermittent basis or as a portable alarm
for the spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning
appliances or chimneys.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is
released when fuels are burnt. It is invisible, has no smell and
is therefore is impossible to detect with the human senses.
Under normal conditions in a room where fuel burning
appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the
amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by
appliances should not be dangerous.
CAUTIONS:
•This device will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas.
•This device is designed to protect individuals from the acute
effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It will not fully
safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in
doubt consult a medical practitioner.
•Installation of the device should not be used as a substitute
for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning
appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust
systems.
MAINTENANCE
Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach or
polish the detector.
NOTE: Before performing any maintenance on the
detector, notify the proper authorities and Central Station
that maintenance is being performed and the system will
be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system
undergoing maintenance to prevent any unwanted alarms.
Power must be removed from the detector before
performing maintenance of any kind.
The SiXCOMBO detector reports maintenance issues to the
control panel and communicates them visually and audibly per
Table 2.
Trouble feature: When the sensor (supervision) is in a trouble
condition (such as a detector that is dirty or CO sensor non-
functioning), the detector will send a trouble signal to the
control panel. Depending on the issue, the detector must then
be serviced or replaced.
NOTE: Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector
guards unless the combination is evaluated and found suitable
for that purpose.
SYMPTOMS OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
Carbon monoxide bonds to the hemoglobin in the blood and
reduces the amount of oxygen being circulated in the body.
The following symptoms are examples taken from NFPA 720;
they represent approximate values for healthy adults.
Concentration
(ppm CO) Symptoms
200
Mild Headache after 2-3 hours of exposure
400
Headache and nausea after 1-2 hours of exposure
800
Headache, nausea, and dizziness after 45 minutes
of expo- sure; collapse and unconsciousness after 2
hours of exposure
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate
that while victims are aware that they do not feel well, they
become so disoriented that they are unable to save
themselves by either exiting the building or calling for
assistance. Also, young children, elderly and pets may be the
first to be affected.
