USING THE OPTIONAL

LOCKING FEATURES

The optional locking features are designed to prevent unauthorized removal of the battery or alarm. It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-family households where unauthorized battery or alarm removal is not a concern.

These CO alarms have two separate locking features: one locks the battery compartment, and the other locks the CO alarm to the mounting bracket. You can choose to use either feature independently, or use them both.

Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers

• Standard/Flathead screwdriver.

Both locking features use locking pins, molded into the mounting bracket. Using needle nose pliers or a utility knife, remove one or both pins, depending on which locking features you use.

Designed with advanced technologies and features, the CO5120B ensures reliable detection of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that can be extremely harmful or even fatal.

One of the standout features of the CO5120B is its electrochemical sensor, which is both sensitive and accurate in detecting low levels of carbon monoxide. This technology not only enhances the unit's reliability but also ensures a quicker response time in the event of a CO leak.

This feature is particularly beneficial as it enables users to assess potential risks immediately and take necessary actions before escalating issues occur. The display also features a peak level memory that records the highest level of carbon monoxide detected since the last reset, aiding in diagnosing potential problems over time.

Battery backup is another critical characteristic of the CO5120B. With a 9V battery backup option, the unit continues to provide protection even during power outages, ensuring that families and occupants remain safe under any circumstances. Meanwhile, an end-of-life signal alerts users when it's time to replace the detector, ensuring long-term effective monitoring.
