Battery Installation, Mounting Plate & Co Alarm

Do not tandem using both the red/yellow wire and brown/yellow wire. Only 1 tandem interconnect wire is needed between units.

CAUTION: Failure to observe any of the conditions set forth may cause system malfunction and damage to the alarm.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Locate side mounted battery drawer.

2. Open battery drawer by firmly pulling on side lip, then sliding battery drawer open.

3. Insert battery into drawer, terminal side first. Take care to make sure the appropriate terminal is aligned correctly, (+) terminal on battery to (+) terminal on alarm metal contact and (-) terminal on battery to (-) terminal on the alarm metal contact.

4. Rotate battery into drawer and close drawer. Note: the battery drawer will not close if the battery is installed incorrectly.

5. Slide battery drawer shut until it is snapped into place.

6. Use only Duracell MN 1604 battery with the CO1209 CO alarm. NOTE: Units with battery back-up will not provide power or transmit an alarm to other AC only units in the event of an AC power failure. All battery back-up units in tandem with good batteries will operate normally during an AC power failure a minimum of 24 hours.

MOUNTING: PLATE & CO ALARM

1. Lace the connector through the provided mounting plate and secure the plate to the junction box.

2. Plug the wire connector into the CO alarm base. Figure 13

	3. Place device up to mounting plate, rotating it clockwise until
	device firmly snap locks into place. Keep CO alarm parallel to
	the mounting plate so tabs on plate seat correctly into device.
	4. Remove dust-cover after all construction is complete. Dust-
	cover must be removed prior to power being supplied to the
	CO alarm. If the dust-cover is not removed, operation of CO
	alarm will be inhibited.	PUSH BUTTON

CO INDICATOR	TEST

NOTE: Remove dust-cover before operating CO alarm

5. Press and release button for self test feature. Results of test: Alarm is silent - CO Alarm is in good working condition

1 Chirp - Low battery. Replace battery following instructions in Battery Installation Section

2 Chirps - CO Alarm has become dirty or defective or there is a large influx of CO. Clean (refer to Maintenance Section or warranty return.

3 Chirps - CO Alarm is at end of life and must be replaced.

CHECKOUT & TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Supply house power to the CO alarm, green indicator will be on. The red indicator light should flash approximately every 15-30 seconds, showing that the CO alarm is operating properly.

2. If red light is not flashing or the green LED is not on: a. Check that AC power is working.

b. Check that the battery is installed.

c. Push test button. Alarm will go into self test mode.

d. Check the connector plug and wire connections. NOTE: Be sure you turn off power before checking wire connections.

e. If the power supply and wiring check out, but the red light does not flash or the green LED is still off, return the unit to the manufacturer. See TO RETURN A CO ALARM section.

3. When powering up devices in a tandem installation and all the alarms sound immediately, inspect all devices for a solid green LED. Verify wiring of units, if wiring checks and problem remains the devices with flashing red LED are the trouble units and should be replaced.

IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS

Actuation of the CO alarm (temporal 4 tone) indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. If the CO alarm sounds, do not ignore the unit!

Enclosed with the unit are two (2) labels to add the telephone numbers of the emergency service provider and a qualified technician. Once CO alarm is installed, place one (1) label next to the CO alarm and place the other label near the fresh air source at your prearranged meeting place after leaving the house.

IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Operate the Test/Reset button. While the alarm has been reset, the device will continue to monitor the air for the presence of CO. If the alarm sounds again after 5 minutes there are CO levels that are potentially dangerous.

2. Call emergency services, fire department or 911. Write the number of your local emergency service here:

3. Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door or window. Meet at prearranged meeting place after leaving the house. Verify all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter premises or move away from the fresh air until the emergency responder has arrived, the premise has been aired out and the CO alarm remains in normal condition.

4 After following steps 1-3, if the CO alarm reactivates within a 24- hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances as well as inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers’ instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not and have not been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

“ALARM - MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the CO alarm horn and the red light is flashing, move everyone to a source of fresh air. DO NOT unplug the alarm!
