8.0DETECTOR SIGNALS

8.1NORMAL OPERATION

seconds.	In normal operation the detector will flash the detector Indicator/Test button once every 30
8.2	DETECTOR CONDITION

If the COSTAR® P-1 senses unsafe levels of CO, the detector Indicator/Test button will light up and the detector will sound. The detector signal is a repetitive alarm sounding pattern of 4 short beeps followed by 5 seconds of silence. Move all persons into fresh air. Pushing and holding the test button for 3 seconds will silence the detector for about 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, the detector will once again sound until the unsafe CO concentration is reduced.

8.3TROUBLE CONDITION

The detector self-tests every 10 minutes. The detector will beep and the Indicator/Test button will flash twice every 30 seconds if a

fault is detected. This is an indication of a malfunction and that the detector requires immediate servicing.

8.4LOW-BATTERY CONDITION

This detector has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the red LED to flash and the alarm to “chirp” once every 30 seconds when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when this condition occurs.

9.0MAINTENANCE/BATTERY REPLACEMENT

9.1The COSTAR® P-1 CO Detector uses one (1) 9-volt alkaline battery. A fresh battery should last for more than one year under normal operating conditions.

9.2REPLACEMENT BATTERY: 9-VOLT ALKALINE DURACELL MN1604
