IN A SINGLE-LEVEL HOME: Install at least one CO alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install
an additional CO alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters) away from the
furnace or fuel burning heat source.
IN A MULTI-LEVEL HOME: Install at least one CO alarm near or
within each separate sleeping area. For added protection, install
at least one CO alarm on each level of the home. If you have a
basement, install that CO alarm at the top of the basement stairs.
For added protection, install an additional CO alarm at least 20
feet (6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.
IN A MOBILE HOME: Install CO alarms on inside walls ONLY.
Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of mobile homes often
transfer heat and cold from outdoors.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends
that a CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each
separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.
For added protection, install additional CO in alarms in each
separate bedroom, and install one on every level of your home. If
your hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters), bedroom CO
alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.

TESTING AND MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY TESTING
WARNING!
• Test this alarm once a week. If the alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it
replaced immediately! If the alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert
you to a problem.
• DO NOT stand close to the alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at
close range may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away
when horn starts sounding. You can test this CO alarm by pressing the
Test/Reset button. The alarm will announce that it is about to perform a
test. Then, the horn will sound: 4 beeps, announce “Dangerous Level of
Carbon Monoxide detected! Evacuate immediately. Dial 911! Press status
button to repeat this message,” then 4 more beeps. If the unit does not
alarm, make sure it has been activated correctly and test again. If the unit
still does not alarm, replace it immediately.
WARNING!
• DO NOT try fixing the alarm yourself - this will void your warranty! If the
CO alarm is still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty,
please see "How to Obtain Warranty Service" in the Limited Warranty.
Install a new CO alarm immediately.
• NEVER use vehicle exhaust to test your alarm! Exhaust may cause
permanent damage and voids your warranty.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE TO KEEP THE CO ALARM IN GOOD
WORKING ORDER
• Test it every week using the “Test/Reset” button.
• Vacuum the CO alarm cover once a month, using the soft brush
attachment. Never use water, cleaners, or solvents, since these may
damage the unit. Test the CO alarm again after vacuuming.
WARNING!
Please dispose of or recycle the alarm properly, following any local regulations.
Consult your local waste management authority or recycling organization to
find an electronics recycling facility in your area. DO NOT DISPOSE OF ALARM
IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK. DO NOT spray cleaning
chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the CO alarm. DO NOT paint
over the CO alarm. Doing so may cause permanent damage.
IMPORTANT!
Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect
the sensor. When using any of these materials near the CO alarm, make sure
the room is well ventilated.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO:
WHAT IS CO? CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil
fuels do not burn completely or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical
appliances typically do not produce CO. These fuels include: Wood, coal,
charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances
are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly
ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger now
that homes are more energy-efficient. "Airtight* homes with added insulation,
sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can "trap” CO inside.
NOTE: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable
13

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:
1) Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances
caused by:
i) Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity,
including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air
with extended periods between cycles).
ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
iii) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing
for limited internal air.
iv) Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or
water heaters.
v) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify the
above situations.
2) Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range,
oven, fireplace, etc.).
3) Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near
the ground.
4) Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
SOURCES OF CARBON MONOXIDE
Fuel-burning appliances: portable heater, gas or wood burning
fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.
Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water
heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat
exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.
Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or
vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).
Transient CO Problems: "transient" or on-again-off-again CO
problems can be caused by outdoor conditions and other
special circumstances.
14

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed
with ALL household members:
• Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue ("flu-like"
symptoms).
• Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate.
• Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.
Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause brain damage, death.
WARNING!
Many cases of reported CO POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they
are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by
either exiting the building or calling for assistance.
IMPORTANT!
This CO alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are
extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum
over a long period of time. The CO alarm generally sounds an alarm before the
onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults. Why is this important? Because you
need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In
many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not
feeling well but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit
the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected.
The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms when the CO alarm
sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn
babies, pregnant mothers, or the elderly can be more quickly and severely
affected by CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult
your doctor immediately!
HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM CO POISONING?
A CO alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a
loud alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average,
healthy adults. A CO alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home
appliances.
TO HELP PREVENT CO PROBLEMS AND REDUCE THE RISK OF CO
POISONING:
• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for
proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or
separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause
backdrafting. Never "cap" or cover a chimney in any way that would block air
flow.
• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil
companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.
• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances
for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot
lights. The flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned
completely and CO may be present. Keep the blower door on the furnace
closed. Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances.
Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do not grill or barbecue
indoors, or in garages or on screened-in porches.
• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources.
• Check the draft hood on an operating furnace for backdraft. Look for cracks on
furnace heat exchangers.
• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.
• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into
your home, open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can
significantly decrease CO levels.
In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual
in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your CO
alarm sounds.
SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING
15

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?
Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO
alarms to sound when exposed to the levels of CO and exposure times as
described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over
time (in minutes).
UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:
• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN
4 and 15 MINUTES.
• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN
10 and 50 MINUTES.
• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm if CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN
60 and 240 MINUTES.
*Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative
Humidity (RH). The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a
constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.
IMPORTANT!
CO alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.
Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it's not present. An
exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy
adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches. An exposure
to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy adults after 35
minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.
Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple
Station Carbon Monoxide Alarms UL2034.
According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1. 2:
"Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these requirements are intended to
respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not
limited to: exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation
of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO alarms are intended to alarm at
carbon monoxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to
react to the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure. This CO alarm
monitors the air at the alarm and is designed to alarm before CO levels
become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house
and correct the problem. This is only possible if alarms are located,
installed, and maintained as described in this manual.
Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: A CO alarm
is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for
false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane
(500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and
Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vaporconcentrations
in parts per million.
Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).
REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS
16

This CO alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for industrial
applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
requirements for carbon monoxide alarms must be met. This device is not
intended to alert hearing impaired residents. CO alarms are not yet available
for the hearing impaired.
CO alarms may not wake all individuals.
Practice an escape plan at least twice a year, ensuring that everyone is
involved, from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape
planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are
sleeping. If children or others do not readily awaken to the sound of the CO
alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations,
make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in the event of an
emergency. It is recommended that you hold a fire drill while family members
are sleeping to determine in their response to the sound of the CO alarm
while sleeping and decide whether or not they may need assistance in
the event of an emergency.
CAUTION! This CO alarm will not sense CO that does not reach its sensor.
It will only sense CO at the sensor. CO may be present in other areas. Doors
or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches the sensors. If
bedroom doors are usually closed at night, we recommend installing a CO
alarm in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.
This CO alarm may not sense CO on another level of the home.
Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor, may not sense CO
in the basement.For this reason, one alarm device may not give adequate
early warning.
CO alarms may not be heard.
The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at
10 feet (3 meters). However, if the CO alarm is installed outside the bedroom,
it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or
has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the door is
closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear the
alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from
traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also
prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This CO alarm is not
intended for people who are hearing impaired.
This CO alarm is not a substitute for life insurance. Though this CO alarm
warns against increasing CO levels, Knox Safety, Inc. does not warrant or
imply in any way that they will protect lives. Homeowners and renters must
still insure their lives.
This CO alarm has a limited life.
Although this CO alarm and all its parts have passed many stringent tests
and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at
any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should be
replaced immediately if it is not operating correctly.
This CO alarm is not foolproof.
Like all other electronic devices, this CO alarm has limitations. It can only
detect CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of the
source of CO in a remote part of the home, away from the alarm device.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices
which provide audible and visual signals for carbon mon-oxide
concentrations under 30 PPM.
GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS
17

LOCATING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which
makes it challenging to locate the source of CO after an
alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it
difficult to locate sources of CO:
• Residence well ventilated prior to investigator arrival.
• Issue caused by "backdrafting."
• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.
Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator
arrives, it may be difficult to locate the source. Knox
Safety shall not be obligated to pay for any carbon
monoxide investigation or service call.
Carbon Monoxide cannot be seen or smelled but
can kill you. A signal from your alarm may indicate
the presence of Carbon Monoxide.
If the alarm signal sounds:
1) Operate the TEST/RESET button.
2) Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911)
Write down the number of you Fire Department here:
3) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door or window.
Check to make sure that all residents are accounted for. Do not re-enter
the premises or move away from the open door or window until the
emergency services responder has arrived, the premises have been
aired out, and your carbon monoxide alarm returns to and remains in its
normal operating condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm re-activates within a 24-hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and contact a qualified appliance technician to
look for sources of carbon monoxide from fuel-burning equipment. If
problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment
serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by
the Technician, and consult the manufacturer’s instructions or contact the
manufacturer(s) directly for more information about carbon monoxide
safety and this equipment. Confirm that motor vehicles are not, and have
not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to your residence.
Write down the Technician’s phone number here:
