This CO Alarm is only compatible with the Digital Life

Controller SKU #: RTL.69237 control panel(s). Refer to

the panel installation instructions for revision verification

details. It is currently not compatible with other control

panels. Please contact Technical Support for any

questions regarding compatibility.

Description

This wireless carbon monoxide (CO) Alarm monitors the

levels of CO gas and gives early warning when

potentially dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire,

smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous concentration of

CO is detected by patented and field-proven

electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator illuminates and

an internal siren is activated in Temporal 4 pattern. The

CO Alarm also transmits an 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 CO Alarm also detects low battery, wall tamper, and

sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted

to the control panel which reports the condition to the

central monitoring station. The alarm automatically reset

when CO is no longer detected.

This wireless CO Alarm is Listed and compliant 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.

WARNING: After seven years from initial power up, this

alarm will beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate

that it is time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm

immediately! It will not detect CO in this condition.

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.

Alarm location

CO Alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and

living areas. We recommend that you install an alarm on

each level of your home.

When choosing your installation locations, make sure

you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you

install only one CO Alarm in your home, install it near

bedrooms, 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

CO Alarm.

Figure 2: Recommended locations

Locations to avoid

Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic

components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to

the unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent

unnecessary nuisance alarms:

• Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms

that may expose the sensor to substances that could

damage or contaminate it.

• Do not install in 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.

• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking

appliances. (We recommend 15 ft. to prevent

nuisance alarms.)

 Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any

forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

• Do not install on metal surfaces. Figure 4: Sliding the alarm on the mounting plate • Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or electrical wires. • Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas directly exposed to the weather. • Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning. • Do not install near deep-cell large batteries.

Figure 6: Horizontal Mounting Due to the loudness of the alarm, we suggest that you place your fingers over the sounder vent while testing your alarm. Caution: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this alarm over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss. The CO Alarm provides three test modes: • Normal CO Alarm test. Conducts an internal self test and tests the sounder. • RF communication test. Tests the communication path with the control panel. • CO Alarm functional gas test.

Tamper condition does not restore: 1. Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO Alarm. 2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal operation. 3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode. 4. Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps three times (approximately 10 seconds), and then release the button. The unit will enter the functional gas test mode. The Power LED will blink once per second while in functional test mode. 5.

• Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground. • Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home. Information about carbon monoxide Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. 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.

Important warning statements This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas. Contact information WARNING: Carbon monoxide alarms are not smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is not a substitute for installing and maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your home.

Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm! If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset button will terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation. AT&T. All Rights Reserved. 8 P/N 0000 – Rev.
