Product Introduction
The SMCCO02-Z Is a wireless carbon monoxide (CO) alarm that monitors the levels of CO gas and provides early warning when potentially
dangerous levels exist. The SMCCO02-Z uses patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor technology. If a dangerous concentration of CO
is detected by patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor:
¾An LED indicator on the SMCCO02-Z goes ON.
¾An internal siren sounds in temporal 4 pattern.
¾The SMCCO02-Z sends alarm signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of detecting dangerous concentration of CO gas. The control
panel activates its internal siren and reports the alarm condition to the central monitoring station if the system is monitored.
The SMCCO02-Z also detects low battery, wall tamper, and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are sent to the control panel, which reports
the condition to the central monitoring station. The alarm automatically resets when CO is no longer detected. The SMCCO02-Z does not
detect fire, smoke, or any other gas.
TheSMCCO02-Z is listed and complies with the ANSI/UL 2034 standard for CO alarms. It is intended for residential indoor dwelling unit
applications and other areas approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not intended for use in industrial applications.
To help identify the date to replace the alarm, an area has been reserved on the side of the alarm. Write the “replace by” date (seven years
from power up) with a permanent marker in the area provided.
WARNING: After seven years from initial power up, this alarm beeps two times every 30 seconds to indicate it is time to replace the alarm.
Replace the alarm immediately because it will not detect CO in this condition.
About This Guide
This User Guide describes how to install your SMCCO02-Z. Notice that we refer to this document as a User Guide. This is because our intention
is for you use this guide just as you will be using your SMCCO02-Z. Keep this guide in a handy location and refer to it when you have questions
about your SMCCO02-Z , its functions and features, or if you have questions about carbon monoxide. Reading this guide is the only way to learn
how to use your SMCCO02-Z wisely and to know how to react in the event of an alarm.

¾In dead-air spaces, such as peaks of
vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs,
where CO might not reach the
sensor in time to provide early
warning.
¾Near deep-cell large batteries.
Large batteries have emissions that
can cause the alarm to perform at
less than optimum performance.
¾Where drapes, furniture, or other
objects block the flow of air to the
vents.
¾Near ceiling fans, doors, windows,
or areas directly exposed to the
weather.
¾In areas with a large quantity of
metal or electrical wires.
¾In areas that obstruct the vents
located on the alarm.
Selecting an improper location can affect
the sensitive electronic components in
your SMCCO02-Z. To avoid damaging the
unit, to provide optimum performance,
and to prevent unnecessary nuisance
alarms, do not install the SMCCO02-Z:
¾In kitchens, garages, or furnace
rooms that can expose the sensor to
substances that can damage or
contaminate it.
¾Near vents, flues, chimneys, or any
forced/unforced air ventilation
openings.
¾Within 5 feet of heating or cooking
appliances. We recommend 15 feet
to prevent nuisance alarms.
¾In areas where the temperature is
colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter
than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl
spaces, attics, porches, and
garages.
¾On metal surfaces.
When choosing installation locations, be
sure you can hear the alarm from all
sleeping areas. If you install only one
alarm in your home, install it near bed-
rooms, not in the basement or furnace
room. Place the alarm out of reach of
children. Under no circumstances should
children be allowed to handle the alarm.
Mount the SMCCO02-Z alarms in or near
bedrooms and living areas. We recom-
mend you install an alarm on each level
of your home.

9 Maintenance Tips
To keep your SMCCO02-Z in good working
order:
¾Perform a CO alarm test once a
week (see “Running the Normal CO
Alarm Test” on page 6).
¾Vacuum the SMCCO02-Z cover once
a month to remove accumulated
dust.
¾Never use detergents or solvents to
clean the alarm. Chemicals can
permanently damage or temporarily
contaminate the sensor.
¾Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair
spray, paint, or other aerosols near
the alarm.
¾Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal
the vents and interfere with proper
sensor operation.
Move the SMCCO02-Z to a remote
location, to prevent possible damage or
contamination of the sensor, prior to
performing any of the following:
¾Staining or stripping floors or
furniture, painting or wall-papering.
¾Using aerosols or adhesives.
Note: Reinstall the SMCCO02-Z as
soon as possible to ensure continuous
protection.
The following is a list of substances that,
at high levels, can damage the SMCCO02-
Z or cause temporary readings that are
not CO readings:
¾Ethylene ¾Ethanol
¾Alcohol ¾Iso-propanol
¾Benzene ¾Toluene
¾Ethyl acetate ¾Hydrogen
¾Hydrogen sulfide ¾Sulfur dioxide
Included in this list are most:
¾Aerosol sprays ¾Alcohol-based
products
¾Paints, thinners,
solvents, and
adhesives
¾Hair sprays,
after shaves,
and perfumes
¾Auto exhausts
(cold start)
¾Some cleaning
agents
10 About Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless,
and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when
inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to
carry oxygen.
Periodically review this user manual and
discuss your CO alarm emergency procedure
with your family. Never ignore a CO alarm, as
it indicates potentially dangerous CO levels. CO
alarms alert you to the presence of CO before
most people would experience symptoms of CO
poisoning, giving you time to resolve the
problem calmly.

I/M SMCWK01-Z rev. 1.0
4/19/11
Determine whether anyone is experiencing
symptoms of CO poisoning. Many cases of
reported CO poisoning indicate that while
victims are aware they are not well, they are
so disoriented that they are unable to save
themselves by exiting the building or calling for
assistance. Young children and household pets
may be the first affected. Take extra
precautions to protect high-risk persons from
CO exposure because they may experience ill
effects from CO at levels that do not affect
healthy adults.
Symptoms of CO Poisoning
The following common symptoms are related to
CO poisoning and should be discussed with all
family members:
¾Mild exposure = slight headache, nausea,
vomiting, fatigue (often described as
“flu-like” symptoms).
¾Medium exposure = severe throbbing
headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate.
¾Extreme exposure = unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure,
death.
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO
poisoning, consult your doctor immediately.
Conditions That Can Produce CO
Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel
burning appliances caused by:
¾Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind
direction and/or velocity, including high
gusts of wind; or heavy air in the vent
pipes (cold/humid air with extended
periods between cycles).
¾Negative pressure differential resulting
from the use of exhaust fans.
¾Simultaneous operation of several fuel
burning appliances competing for limited
internal air.
¾Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from
clothes dryers, furnaces, or water
heaters.
¾Obstructions in or unconventional vent
pipe designs which amplify the above
situations.
Extended operation of unvented fuel burning
devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust
gasses near the ground.
Car idling in an open or closed attached
garage, or near a home.
What CO Alarms Can and Cannot Do
CO alarms provide early warning of the
presence of CO, usually before a healthy adult
would experience symptoms. This early
warning is only possible if your CO alarm is
mounted, installed, and maintained as
described in this user manual.
Because CO is a cumulative poison, symptoms
can be caused by long-term exposures to low
levels or short-term exposures to high levels.
Your SMCCO02-Z has a time-weighted alarm;
the higher the level of CO present, the sooner
the alarm is triggered.
Your SMCCO02-Z can only warn you about the
presence of CO. It does not prevent CO from
occurring and cannot solve existing CO
problems. If your SMCCO02-Z has alarmed and
you provided ventilation by leaving your
windows and doors open, the CO buildup may
have dissipated by the time help responds.
Although your problem may appear to be

temporarily solved, it is crucial that the source
of the CO be determined and appropriate
repairs made.
CO alarm have limitation. Like any other
electronic device, CO alarms are not fool-
proof. CO alarms have a limited operational
life. You must test your CO alarm weekly,
because it could fail to operate at any time.
If your CO alarm fails to test properly, or if its
self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction,
replace the unit immediately. Your SMCCO02-Z
will not monitor CO levels while in an trouble
condition.
CO alarm can only sense CO that reaches the
unit’s sensor. It is possible that CO may be
present in other areas without reaching the
alarm. The rate and ability with which CO
reaches the alarm may be affected by:
¾Doors or other obstructions.
¾Fresh air from a vent, an open window,
or other source.
¾CO being present on one level of the
home and not reaching a CO alarm
installed on a different level. (For
example, CO in the basement may not
reach an alarm on the second level, near
the bedrooms).
For these reasons, we recommend you provide
complete coverage by placing a CO alarm on
every level of the home.
CO alarms should not be used to detect the
presence of natural gas (methane), propane,
butane, or other combustible fuels.
Instruct children never to touch or otherwise
interfere with the alarm. Warn children of the
dangers of CO poisoning.
11 Warning Statements
Your SMCCO02-Z detects CO from ANY source
of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect
smoke, fire, or any other gas.
CO alarms are not smoke alarms. Your
SMCCO02-Z is not a substitute for installing and
maintaining an appropriate number of smoke
alarms in your home. This CO alarm will not
sense smoke, fire, or any poisonous gas other
than carbon monoxide even though carbon
monoxide can be generated by fire. For this
reason you must install smoke alarms to
provide early warning of fire and to protect
you and your family from fire and its related
hazards.
Your SMCCO02-Z will only indicate the
presence of CO at the sensor. CO may be
present in other areas.
This product is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of family living units. It is not
designed to measure compliance with

(OSHA), commercial, or industrial standards. It
is not suitable for installation in hazardous
locations as defined in the National Electric
Code. 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. It does not prevent CO
from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO
problem.
This device is designed to protect individuals
from acute effects of carbon monoxide
exposure. It may not fully safeguard individuals
