NORMAL OPERATION

In normal operation, the alarm will blink the green LED off once approximately every 20 seconds. The display will indicate the current CO readings (if higher than 30ppm) or three dashes (Model CD-9685).

SERVICE/TROUBLE CONDITION

Periodically, the alarm's measurement circuit is tested. If an error is detected, the alarm will sound a double "beep" and the yellow LED will flash on twice approximately every 40 seconds. This is an indication of circuit malfunction and that the alarm required immediate servicing.

When AC power is lost, the green LED is off.
