6.TESTING YOUR CO ALARM

(1)Regularly check that the green mains power light is on. The unit cannot detect CO if the mains power is not on. (If it is off check circuit breakers, fuses, wiring etc).

(2)Test the unit weekly by pressing the test/hush button. Hold the test button (for up to 10 seconds) until the horn sounds for over 5 seconds. This will help to familiarise you and your family with the distinctive on-off sound of the CO Alarm. This test checks that the electronics and horn are working correctly.

(3)If the CO Alarm gives a short beep and the amber fault light flashes every 40 seconds it means the self-checking circuit has detected a fault. Press and hold the test/hush button. If the amber light flashes without the horn sounding, the sensor is faulty.
