How to Operate Your CO Alarm

This carbon monoxide alarm has been evaluated by UL and meets the applicable UL standards and requirements.

This CO alarm has a three light and sound alarm system:

CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM

ON	SERVICE	ALARM:
		MOVE TO FRESH AIR

On

(Power on/operating)

Service

(Problem with Alarm)

Alarm

(Dangerous CO levels)

Low Battery

(For COQ6 only)

Green indicator constantly ON indicates unit is receiving AC power.

Amber indicator flashing and alarm horn beeping every thirty seconds indicates “Unit Fault.” Press and release the TEST/RESET button. If the alarm returns to displaying the fault signal, the CO alarm is not operating properly. REPLACE THE CO ALARM IMMEDIATELY. SEE THE WARRANTY INFORMATION AT THE END OF THIS MANUAL.

Red indicator flashes and alarm horn sounds four fast beeps and then is quiet for 5 seconds.

The unit will emit a chirp once every 30 seconds when the battery is low and needs to be replaced.

When the CO concentration builds to a level that is equal to 70 ppm or greater for the duration identified within the standard, the following will occur:

•The ALARM light and sound signals will activate. See the “What To Do If Your Alarm Sounds” section of this manual for important action steps to be taken.

•If you wish to press the TEST/RESET button during this time, the alarm will become quiet for approximately four minutes. The ALARM signals will be reenergized within 4 minutes from the time the reset button is pressed if the concentration of carbon monoxide surrounding the alarm remains at 70 ppm or greater.

•The alarm will remain silent if the CO concentration has decreased below the alarm level of the standard. See the “What To Do If Your Alarm Sounds” section of this manual for important action steps to be taken.

•The alarm will continue for as long as the condition exists.

The alarm will not permanently end its ALARM mode until the concentration of CO has been reduced to a safe level.
