Do not install in excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas such as kitchens, garages and furnace rooms. Dust grease or household chemicals can contaminate or coat the alarm’s sensors, causing the alarm not to operate properly.

Do not obstruct the vents located at the top and bottom of the alarm. Place the alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects do not block the flow of air to the vents.

Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where carbon monoxide or Gas may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.

How to Install Your Alarm

Your Nighthawk CO and Gas alarm with its removable adapter allows you to install the alarm as a wall mounted unit (for nat- ural Gas detection and CO), a direct plug unit (for propane and CO), or as a table top unit.

To install the battery, open the back door and snap battery connector onto battery. You will hear the alarm sound briefly to indicate the unit is receiving power. Place

battery into battery compartment and replace back door.

Do not install in turbulent air from ceiling fans. Do not install near doors and windows that open to the outside, near fresh air vents, or anywhere that is drafty. Rapid air circulation from fans or fresh air from outside may cause the sensors to display an inaccurate readings.

Do not install this alarm in a switch- or dimmer-controlled outlet.

Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40˚F (4.4˚C) or hotter than 100˚F (37.8˚C). These areas include uncondi- tioned crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages. Extreme tempera-

Direct Plug Alarm

First, refer to “Where to Install Your CO and Gas alarm” on page 1-3 for general guidelines as to where to locate your CO and Gas alarm. In its “as shipped” configuration, your Nighthawk CO and Gas alarm is ready to be plugged directly into a close to the floor wall socket. This is the recommended configuration for detecting CO and propane.

tures will affect the sensitivity of the alarm.

Do not install this unit near deep cell large batteries. Large batter- ies have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than optimum performance.

Avoid the following:

•Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as: 1) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts

of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). 2) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

3)Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air. 4) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces or water heaters.

5)Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

•Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).

•Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust Gasses near the ground.

•Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

To install:

1.Choose a standard 120V outlet to plug alarm into.

2.Pull slide support out approximately .25” until slide snaps in place (this will help support unit in wall outlet).

3.Simply plug in.

If outlet is mounted horizontally (sideways): If you are going to use your alarm as a direct

plug and you are going to plug in to an out- let that is mounted horizontally (sideways), you will need to rotate the adapter 90˚. This simple process is outlined below.

To rotate adapter:

1.With back of unit facing you (with adapter at top), place your thumbs on thumb grips.

2.With your thumbs, push down in the

direction of the arrows on the thumb grips and slide back door off.

3. Next, place your thumbs on the adapter thumb releases.

4. Spread adapter thumb releases out and

carefully turn alarm over. This will allow adapter to slide out.

5.Rotate the adapter 90˚ to the right (clockwise), and snap firmly back into place.

6.Carefully replace back door by making sure “latches” on all four corners of door are lined up, then firmly press into place.

7.Now simply plug in to outlet.
