EN Solight 1D36 Carbon Monoxide Detector Operating Manual
Dear Valued Customer, allow us to thank you for purchasing our product. Please read the following
instructions carefully and follow them to ensure that your product serves you safely and to your full
satisfaction. By doing so you will avoid improper use or damage to the product. Avoid incompetent
manipulation with the device and always follow general principles of using electric appliances.
Carefully keep the present operating manual. Intended for household or indoor use. The product
should only be used by a adult persons. Never expose to environments with high humidity (such as
bathroom), avoid contact with fluids.
WARNING: This alarm device indicates the presence of carbonmonoxide onlyin the vicinity
of the sensor. However, carbon monoxide may occur also in other areas.
The product is intended for indoor use in usual households. It is not intended for measurement
according to the commercial and industrial standards of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA).
CAUTION:This device is intended to protect persons from acute impacts of carbon
monoxide. It may not provide full protection to individuals with a specific disease. In case
of any doubt consult physician.
Persons suffering from health problems involving an increased sensitivity to carbon monoxide
should consider the use of another alarm device, reacting to carbon monoxide concentrations lower
than 30 ppm. This alarm is intended to detect carbon monoxide concentrations above 30 ppm.
Useful information on carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is considered a very dangerous, poisonous gas that is
colourless, has no smell and no taste and is highly toxic. From biochemical perspective it can be
generally said that the presence of carbon monoxide blocks (inhibits) the ability of blood to transfer
oxygen within the body, which may ultimately result in brain damage.
The following conditions may cause temporary accumulation of CO:
a) Excessive flue gas leakage from combustion plants or reverse streaming of flue gases due to
outdoor conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity, including strong wind blasts;
compressed air in exhaust ducts (cold/humid air with longer periods between cycles).
b) Negative differential pressure due to the use of exhaust fans.
c) Contemporary operation of several combustion plants sharing limited interior air capacity.
d) Exhaust tube of clothes dryer, boiler or water heater, released by vibrations.
e) Obstacles in exhaust tube or extraordinary shape of exhaust tube, worsening the situations
described above.
f) Prolonged operation of combustion plants with no flue gas exhaust (kitchen stove, oven,
fireplace etc.).
g) Temperature inversion causing flue gases to stay close to ground.
h) Idling car engine in an open or closed adjacent garage or close to a house.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and it is important that all
household members be informed about them:
a) Slight exposure: slight headache, nausea, vomiting, tiredness (frequently reported as
influenza symptoms).
b) Medium exposure: severe pulsating headache, sleepiness, confusion, vomiting, accelerated
heart rate.
c) Extreme exposure: unconsciousness, spasms, cardiac and respiratory failure, death.

Numerous reported cases of carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that victims realize their sickness
but are so disoriented that they are unable to rescue themselves, i.e. to leave the building or call for
help. Small childrenand pets are usually thefirst affected ones. Exposure duringsleep is particularly
dangerous because the victim usually does not wake up.
Detector location
Since carbon monoxide moves freely in air, the
detector should be placed in areas where people
sleep or in their direct vicinity. The human body is
most sensitive to the effects of CO while asleep.
For maximum protection, the detector should be
placed close to the area intended for sleeping or on
every floor of your house. The diagram below
indicates some recommended places inside the
house. The electronic sensor detects carbon
monoxide, measures its concentration and triggers
a loud audible alarm before a potentially harmful
concentration is achieved.
We recommend you to mount the detector onto the wall and to the ceiling, see pictures below.
Wall mounting Ceiling mounting
Do not install the detector:
a) to places where temperature may drop below -
10⁰C (14⁰F) or exceed 40⁰C (104⁰F)
b) to places with possible occurrence of solvent vapours and with high humidity
c) within 1.5 metres away from sources of open flame such as ovens, stoves or fireplaces
d) into gas engine exhaust pipes, into air ducts, smoke ducts or chimneys
e) close to car exhaust pipe; this would destroy the detector.

2. Drill holes in points where you wish to install the
alarm. Use rear cover as template.
3. Use screws and dowels attached to the product
package; do not apply excessive force while
tightening the screws. Use more suitable fastening
material when necessary.
4. Insert two AAA alkaline batteries. Mind the indicated
polarity.
5. Attach the detector to the rear cover and rotate it
clockwise to fix it.
Functional test
The detector is equipped with a diagnostic circuit, testing the sensor’s and siren’s function every ten
seconds. However, we recommend you to test the device for function every month. You can do it
as follows.
Push the TEST/HUSH button shortly. Afterwards, you will hear the alarm signal and the LED diode
(alarm) will flash 4 times in four series in a row. This indicates correct function.
Alarm mode
If harmful CO concentration is detected, the detector will switch to constant alarm mode. In such
case, immediately proceed as follows:
1. Provide ventilation in the room affected and leave the room. If no ventilation is possible,
immediately leave to fresh air orto another ventilated room with lower or no CO concentration
at all.
2. If there is anybody inside the affected room experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning
symptoms described above, immediately call the ambulance and the fire brigade. All persons
and animals must be immediately evacuated. Count all the present persons and animals to
make sure nobody is forgotten.
3. Do not re-enter the affected rooms until the problem has been resolved and until carbon
monoxide has diffused. Itsconcentrationmust sink to asafe level. The alarm will automatically
stop signalling dangerous CO concentration when it drops to a safe level.

Silent alarm mode
Solight 1D36 detector also has a silent alarm function If the detector triggers the alarm, it can be
put on silent mode by pushing the TEST/HUST button. In this mode, the red (Alarm) diode will flash
once simultaneously with the green (Power) diode every ten seconds for two minutes. If the
concentration of carbon monoxide exceeds 300PPM within three minutes, the loud alarm will be
trigged again. If the concentration drops below 5PPM (included), the alarm signal will stop.
If you wish to exit the silent alarm mode, push the TEST/HUSH button repeatedly.
Backward warning function
Rear cover (bracket)
Tighten
Release

The alarm may be triggered when no persons are at home. In such case, the red (ALARM) LED will
flash, accompanied by a double sound signal every 15 seconds.
To delete the backward warning and to return to stand-by mode, push the TEST/HUST button.
Stand-By
In stand-by mode, the green diode will flash 1x every 50 seconds provided that the alarm is
functioning and no carbon monoxide is detected.
Low battery signal
When the battery voltage drops below a pre-defined level, the detector will start to indicate that the
batteries need to be replaced. The red (Alarm) LED will flash once, accompanied by a short sound
signal, every 40 seconds. This low battery signal will continue for approx. one month. Afterwards,
the batteries will discharge completely and the detector will cease to work. Replace the battery in
time.
The battery will work in the detector for approximately five years. When low battery signal is active,
the detector is still able to trigger alarm.
Device defect signal
If the device identifies a defect of the siren or sensor, the yellow (Fault) LED will flash once along
with a short audible signal every 30 seconds.
End of life signal
When the device reaches the end of its service life, the yellow (Fault) LED will flash along with triple
audible signal every 60 seconds.
