How to distinguish between CO Alarm and Smoke Alarm warnings

The CO Alarm has a distinctive on-off sound of 3 pulses, followed by a pause as compared with a typical Smoke Alarm which has a rapid pulsing sound.

In addition, when your CO Alarm detects CO the red light will be flashing.

Testing both your CO Alarm and Smoke Alarms weekly will help you and your family to clearly distinguish between them in an emergency.

7. MAINTAINENCE

Clean the outside case by occasionally wiping with a clean damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents, bleaches, detergents or polishes, including those in aerosol cans. Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint or other aerosols near the CO Alarm. Do not place air fresheners near the unit.

Use the narrow nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to remove fluff and other contamination from the cover slots to ensure CO gas can reach the sensor - see Gas Sensor positioning shown in figure 5a.

Caution: Do not paint the CO Alarm.

Remove the CO Alarm when decorating. Do not allow water or dust to contaminate the alarm.

Warning: Do not open or tamper with the CO Alarm. There are no user serviceable parts inside This can damage the unit.

LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS End of LifeProduct Disposal 2 Carbon Monoxide must enter the unit for it to be detected. There may be Carbon Monoxide in other areas of the house e.g. downstairs, in a closed room etc. but not in the vicinity of the CO Alarm. Doors, air draughts and obstructions can prevent the CO reaching the Alarm. For these reasons we recommend. CO Alarms are fitted both near and in bedrooms, particularly if bedroom doors are closed at night. Additionally install in rooms where members of the household spend much of their time, and in rooms with potential sources of CO gas 9.
