Under normal operation, the red indicator light will shine continuously .
14 Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of a CO problem than stand-alone units, especially if the problem starts in a remote ar ea of the dwelling. If any unit in the series senses CO, all units will alarm. T o determine which CO Alarm initiated an alarm, refer to the table.
15 MUL TIPLE-ST A TION INST ALLA TION ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. T urn off power to the area where you will install this unit at the cir cuit breaker or fuse box before beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installation may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

18 Display Shows... It Means... 30 Developing CO problem. Display will (or higher) only show levels of carbon monoxide 30 ppm or higher . 70 The unit is calibrated to sound an alarm (or higher) before 240 minutes have passed when exposed to this level.
19 The Latching Alarm Indicator is activated after a CO Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of carbon monoxide. After CO levels drop below alarm levels, the red LED will begin to flash once every 5 seconds. It will continue to flash or “ latch ” until you clear it by pressing the test button.
20 CHAPTER 4: TESTING AND MAINTENANCE WEEKL Y TESTING Push and hold the T est/Silence button until a loud alarm sounds — 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps. This sequence should last for 10 seconds. If the Alarm ever fails to test properly , replace it immediately .
21 CHAPTER 5: WHA T YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO WHA T IS CO? CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely , or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO. These fuels include: W ood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.
22 POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater , gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer . Damaged or insufficient venting: corr oded or dis- connected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger , blocked or clogged chimney opening.
23 HOW CAN I PROTECT MY F AMIL Y? A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.
24 CHAPTER 6: UNDERWRITERS LABORA TORIES INC. UL2034 WHA T LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM? Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034 defines 3 specific alarm points by which all residential CO Alarms must alarm. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).
25 Once a minute, the alarm sounds 3 quick “ chirps ” , and the red light flashes quickly three times and display reads “ Err ” . Based on its Self T est diagnostics, the unit has detected a malfunction. The unit needs to be replaced. Units under warranty should be returned to manufacturer for replacement.
26 CHAPTER 8: GENERAL LIMIT A TIONS OF CO ALARMS This CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in industrial applications wher e Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requir ements for carbon monoxide detectors must be met.
