Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Product Introduction

This wireless carbon monoxide (CO) Alarm (product) 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.

This wireless product works in conjunction with your wireless Control

Panel, providing a local indication. Refer to the panel installation

instructions for revision verification details. Please contact Technical

Support for any questions regarding compatibility.

2. Mounting Guideline

This product is a member of a reliable, high-quality product family

using the latest technology available. Review the information in this

section to ensure you get the most out of the product.

Choosing an Installation 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.

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:

o Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that may

expose the sensor to substances that could damage or

contaminate it.

o 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.

o Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (We

recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)
