CM-E1 Carbon Monoxide Detector
The CM-E1 is not intended for use in industrial
applications such as refineries, chemical plants and or
for use in parking garages as to control exhaust fans
The small, low profile unit is in a white plastic case. It
surface mounts to a wall using the supplied rear housing
or flush mounts in a 2 x 4 x1-1/2 inch deep single gang
switch or handy electrical box
Can be Field Tested with Carbon Monoxide Gas
900 square feet coverage
The CM-E1 is a low voltage detector of Carbon Monoxide. The CM–E1
is designed for connection to UL Listed Fire Alarm/Burglary Control
Panels. The CM-E1 is intended for non-hazardous locations such as
residences, retail stores, office buildings, and institutional buildings

5
Detector alarms at multiple levels
of exposure to carbon monoxide
based on time weighted averages
of the gas present
Listed to ULstandard 2075 for the
Standard For Safety for Gas and
Vapor Detector and Sensors
Tested to UL2075 using UL2034
Sensitivity limits for carbon
monoxide gas
The usual sources of Carbon monoxide are defective heat sources
such as furnaces or wood burning stoves and automobiles running in
adjoining garages. The CM-E1 can detect CO from these sources, as
well as any other sources of CO

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless and
toxic gas. Because it is impossible to see, taste or
smell the toxic fumes, CO can kill you before you
are aware it is present
At lower levels of exposure, CO causes mild effects
that are often mistaken for the flu. These symptoms
include headaches, dizziness, disorientation,
nausea and fatigue
Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless gas
resulting from the incomplete combustion of
hydrocarbon fuels. Carbon monoxide interferes with
blood's ability to carry oxygen to the body's tissues
and results in numerous adverse health effects

The CM-E1 is programmed to alarm if the danger
levels of carbon monoxide are exceeded, which
are time and concentration-related.
The alarm points are in accordance with the
provisions of UL2034:
70 ppm of CO after 60 to 240 minutes
150 ppm of CO after 10 to 50 minutes
400 ppm of CO after 4 to 15 minutes
The CM-E1 continuously monitors the ambient air at the sensor. If the
CM-E1 measures levels of CO greater than the danger level, the RED
light will turn on, the Alarm Relay will switch to actuate the alarm
circuits in the control panel, and the buzzer on CM-E1 will sound.

CM-E1 Carbon Monoxide Detector
Quickly press the TEST/RESETbutton 5 times.
The buzzer will do a quick double beep and the
LED will flashAmber alternating with a pause
Aim the nozzle of the aerosol can at the buzzer
grate area and press for 4 to 5 seconds
Wait for a few seconds. The LED should blink
Green rapidly and the buzzer should double beep
every 15 seconds - Pass
Press the button once to return to normal mode
The CME1-FTG is an 11L 500 ppmAerosol Carbon Monoxide Field
Test Gas. This field test gas allows installers to do a Functional Test
of the CO sensor. The flow rate of the CME1-FTG is 10 LPM providing
enough gas to quick test 20-30 CM-E1 Carbon Monoxide sensors
