Part Six – Display Reading and What They Mean

Page 6-3 and 6-4 contain vital information about the various readings you may see on your display. We suggest you keep this User’s Guide handy for reference.

Your new Nighthawk carbon monoxide and explosive Gas alarm is a sophisticated electronic device – yet very simple to understand. Basically, the unit will display a “0” if it does not sense carbon monoxide or Gas and if you have a good 9V backup battery installed.

If it senses carbon monoxide, it will display a reading in parts per million of carbon monoxide or “GAS” if either natural Gas

or propane has been detected..

However, if the backup battery is low or missing, or if the unit malfunctions it will display other readings (and alarm differ- ently) to alert you that something is wrong with the alarm.

Please familiarize yourself and other family members to the difference between a CO reading, a Gas reading and a reading signifying a problem with the alarm itself.
