MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The CO alarm is powered (backup) by a 9V battery. A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operating conditions. This alarm has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the alarm to sound a short "beep" approximately every 40 seconds, for a minimum of 7 days, when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition occurs, by using the QUICK DRAWTM pull-out battery drawer for easy replacement.

Slide the QUICK DRAWTM pull-out battery drawer out. While observing polarity, push the replacement battery into the battery drawer until it is held securely in place. Carefully close and latch the QUICK DRAWTM pull-out battery drawer.

USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR CO ALARM REPLACEMENT

Alkaline type:

EVEREADY 522; DURACELL MN1604

Lithium type:

ULTRALIFE U9VL-J

NOTE: REGULAR TESTING IS RECOMMENDED.

USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE CO ALARM. THE CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH HUMIDITY MAY REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.

IMPORTANT!

The battery backup is designed to provide short-term emergency power to the CO alarm. Actual backup time depends on the strength (freshness) of the battery. The battery backup will not work unless a good battery is properly installed.

CD-9590, CD-9690 specifications

Universal Security Instruments (USI) has established a reputation for developing reliable and advanced home safety products. Two significant models in their lineup are the CD-9690 and CD-9590, which are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors known for their user-friendly design and innovative technology.

The CD-9690 is notable for its combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detection capabilities. It features a photoelectric smoke sensing technology that is highly effective at identifying slow-burning fires, which can release significant smoke before becoming a full-blown blaze. This technology minimizes false alarms caused by cooking smoke or steam, providing peace of mind for homeowners. Moreover, the unit comes equipped with a voice alarm feature that distinctly announces the type of danger detected, whether it's smoke or carbon monoxide, allowing users to respond more effectively in an emergency.

In contrast, the CD-9590 is a robust carbon monoxide detector that utilizes advanced electrochemical sensing technology. This technology ensures high sensitivity and reliability, enabling the device to accurately detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the environment. The CD-9590 is designed to provide a loud 85-decibel alarm along with a voice alert when CO levels rise above recommended thresholds, ensuring that users are promptly informed of potential hazards.

Both models are equipped with a battery backup system, ensuring they remain operational during power outages. The detectors come with a low battery alert, which signifies when it's time to replace the batteries, reducing the risk of the units being non-functional when needed most.

Another key characteristic of the CD-9690 and CD-9590 is their user-friendly installation. The units are designed for easy wall or ceiling mounting and include mounting hardware in the package. Additionally, the sleek design of both models makes them aesthetically pleasing and easy to integrate into any home decor.

Both models also feature test and silence buttons, allowing users to easily test the functionality of the alarms and silence them during non-emergency situations, further enhancing user control.

Overall, the Universal Security Instruments CD-9690 and CD-9590 detectors combine advanced technology, reliability, and ease of use, making them valuable additions to any safety-conscious home. With their ability to promptly detect and announce various dangers, these detectors play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of residents. Investing in such devices is a proactive step towards home safety and peace of mind.
