1. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds
The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED blinks in sync with
the beep pattern.
WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM ACTIVATION INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CARBON
MONOXIDE (CO) AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WHICH CAN KILL YOU.
Based on recommendations from EN 50292, follow these steps if alarm sounds:
1. Keep calm and open all doors and windows. Turn off all fuel-burning appliances if possible. Note: it is possible that
outdoor conditions could influence domestic CO alarms (bad traffic pollution in cold weather, for example). In these
circumstances, the level of indoor CO might actually increase when doors and windows are opened.
2. If the alarm continues to sound, even after being reset (where appropriate), then evacuate the premises, alerting
other occupants to the risk. Leave doors and windows open. Do not re-enter the premises.
3. Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of CO poisoning, and advise that CO inhalation is suspected.
4. Call Gas Emergency Services: 0800 111 999, or your local Gas Safe Registered Engineer:
PHONE NUMBER:
Never restart the source of the CO problem until it has been corrected.
Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

4. Introduction, Product Features and Specifications
Introduction
This alarm detects carbon monoxide using an electrochemical sensor. Many times throughout this User Guide,
we will refer to Carbon Monoxide as “CO.”
Ten (10) years after the unit was installed, this unit will automatically alert you that it is time to replace the unit. This is
called “End of Unit Life” mode. See Troubleshooting Guide. To help track the life of your alarm, write the installation
date in the space provided on the side of the alarm. A label has been provided that has important information on what
to do in case of a CO alarm. Place the label at eye level on a wall near the alarm after it is mounted.
Product Features and Specifications:
•Temperature Operating Range: -10°C to +40°C
•Humidity Operating Range: up to 90% RH non-condensing
•Audible Alarm: 85+ dB(A) at 3 m, 3.0 to 3.5 kHz pulsing alarm
•CO Sensor: Electrochemical

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.
LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS
•IMPORTANT: This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT
designed to detect any other gas. This alarm has not been tested specifically for use in caravans or boats. Only
CO alarms certified to EN50291-2 are fully approved for this purpose.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monox-
ide gas may be present in other areas. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been fixed. NEVER
IGNORE THE ALARM!

LIVING UNITS. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
STANDARDS. THIS ALARM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION IN HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS.
IMPORTANT: THIS CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IS DESIGNED TO DETECT CARBON MONOXIDE FROM
ANY SOURCE OF COMBUSTION INCLUDING IMPROPER OR MALFUNCTIONING APPLIANCES. THE
INSTALLATION OF THIS DEVICE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION,
USE AND MAINTENANCE OF FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES INCLUDING APPROPRIATE VENTILATION AND
EXHAUST SYSTEMS.
•This alarm does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve any existing CO problem.
