Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm.
The symbols above mean that the alarm is suitable for use in domestic premises (including static caravan holiday homes), caravans, motor caravans, and boats.
- Where to install the device? (see A, page 2)
Ideally, a device should be installed in every room containing a fuel-burning appliance and in a room where the occupant(s) spend most time like the bedroom and sleeping room.
1- Ceiling mounting / 2- Wall mounting / 3- bedroom / 4- Study/hobby room - Where not to install the device
In an enclosed space (for example in a cupboard or behind a curtain).
Where it can be obstructed (for example by furniture).
Directly above a sink.
Next to a door or window.
Next to an extractor fan.
Next to an air vent or other similar ventilation openings.
In an area where the temperature may drop below -10 °C or exceed 45 °C.
Where dirt and dust may block the sensor.
In a damp or humid location.
In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance. - Installation (see B, page 2)
After cutting off the small cylinder (1) on the bracket, the tamper-proof locking tab function is activated.
Attach (2) the wall bracket to the wall or ceiling.
Fit the alarm onto the wall bracket (3).
Press firmly against the wall plate and slide (4) the device down.
The tamper-proof locking tab will click into place. - Activation
Press and hold the cover, this is the TEST / SILENCE button, for 5 seconds.
All indicators will flash, the sounder will beep and the device will enter a warm-up state.
The alarm has been activated.
The green POWER light blinks once per second.
After 60 seconds, the green POWER light blinks once every minute.
The equipment is working normally. - Removal (see C, page 2)
Use a small screwdriver to press on the tamper-proof locking tab (1) located at the right edge of the device
Slide the device to the up (2) to remove it from the wall mounting plate.
When removing the device from the wall mounting plate, the alarm keeps working. - Recommended actions when CO alarm warning has been activated
If your unit is in ALARM, keep calm, and carry out the following actions in the order given:
Open all doors and windows to increase the rate of ventilation.
Stop using all fuel-burning appliances and turn them off where possible.
If the alarm continues, then evacuate the premises. Leave the doors and windows open, and only re-enter the building when the alarm has stopped.
Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, such as headache or nausea, and advise that Carbon Monoxide inhalation is suspected.
Telephone the gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number, so that the source of carbon monoxide emissions can be identified and corrected.
Do not use the fuel-burning appliances again until they have been checked and cleared for use by a competent person according to national regulations.
Note: There may be another source of carbon monoxide emission apart from fuel-burning appliances, for example, a large amount of tobacco smoke, town gas, or emission from a smoldering fire. Do not use any combustion appliances until they have been checked by a qualified person.See D — Page 2 NO 1. POWER 2. ALARM 3. FAULT 4. BEEP LED * Green Red Yellow Sounder Normal operation 1 x every

Solid fuel users: Contact HETAS on 0800 600 000 - When will the Alarm be activated
If the CO level (PPM) in the room is too high, the carbon monoxide detector switches to the alarm mode according to the scheme below:
30 – 049 PPM: Alarm signal after 120 minutes
50 – 099 PPM: Alarm signal after 60 – 90 minutes
100 – 299 PPM: Alarm signal after 10 – 40 minutes
>300 PPM: Alarm signal within 3 minutes - Health effects of carbon monoxide
~100 PPM: Slight headache, flushing of the skin (indefinite exposure).
200 – 300 PPM: Headache (5 – 6 hour exposure)
400 – 600 PPM: Severe headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea, vomiting (4 – 5 hour exposure)
1100 – 1500 PPM: Increased pulse and breathing rate, syncope (fainting), coma, intermittent seizures (4 – 5 hour exposure)
5000 – 10000 PPM: Weak pulse, depressed respiration / respiratory failure, death (1 – 2 minutes exposure) - Maintenance
The CO alarm does not require any maintenance other than to clean the outside case occasionally with a clean tissue. Ensure that the holes on the front of the unit are not blocked with dust or dirt.
We recommend manually test the detector once a month by pressing and holding the test button. If problems are found, the detector switches to the error mode (either siren error or sensor error). We recommend to manually test the detector at least once a year by pressing and holding the test button.
Dust is a major cause of false alarms. Therefore, clean the carbon monoxide detector once a month. Use a vacuum cleaner to gently remove any accumulated dust along the sides of the carbon monoxide detector. Never use a wet cloth or detergent to clean your alarm, as this can be harmful to the sensor.
