THIS COMBINATION SMOKE/CO ALARM WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT A GOOD BATTERY PROPERLY INSTALLED. THE ALARM SHOULD BE TESTED WHEN INSTALLED AND THEN TESTED WEEKLY AFTER THAT.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: CAUTION!! READ CAREFULLY.
CAUTION: THIS UNIT IS SEALED. THE COVER IS NOT REMOVABLE!
•This combination smoke/CO alarm requires a working 9 Volt battery to operate properly. This combination smoke/CO alarm WILL NOT work if the battery is removed, drained or improperly connected. DO NOT use any other kind of battery except as specified in this manual.
NOTE: AC/DC combination alarms offer added protection in the event of a power failure or a drained battery.
•Test alarm immediately following installation and weekly for proper operation by pushing the test button. The alarm will then test itself for proper operation. The alarm then resumes normal operation.
•A mounting plate is provided on the back of the alarm.
•Remove the mounting plate from the back of the alarm by holding the mounting plate and twisting the alarm in the direction indicated by the "TURN TO REMOVE" arrow on the side of the alarm base.
TAMPER LOCKING PIN: To make your alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a locking pin has been provided
The combination smoke/CO alarm is designed for easy mounting on wall or ceiling. A complete mounting kit is included with the alarm. First, attach the mounting bracket on the wall or ceiling with the screws and anchors provided. Second, push and turn the alarm clockwise on the mounting bracket. (Note: Your smoke alarm is equipped with a safety device which prevents mounting unless a battery is installed. If alarm will not lock into the mounting bracket, check to make sure a battery is installed.)
1.To activate 9 volt battery and alarm, hold the QUICK DRAWTM
NOTE: After initial battery power up, the Green LED will flash on rapidly approximately 20 times and then remain off. Proceed to test the alarm.
2.See "TAMPER LOCKING PIN."
3.Press the TEST/SILENCE button. Check the LED's for proper operation (see "TESTING YOUR ALARM"). After test sequence, the Green LED flashes on approximately every 40 seconds to indicate proper operation.
OPERATION, TESTING & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION: The alarm is operating once the power is connected (the battery must be installed).
SMOKE/COMBUSTION PRODUCTS ALARM CONDITION: When products of combustion are sensed, the unit sounds a loud SMOKE alarm pattern which continues until the air is cleared. For the SMOKE alarm pattern, this alarm incorporates the internationally recognized horn signal for evacuation. During smoke alarm mode, the horn produces three beeps followed by a two second pause and then repeats. The Red LED will flash on simultaneously with the horn pulses.
CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM CONDITION: When CO is sensed at a high level or at a low level for a lengthy period of time, the unit sounds a loud CO alarm pattern (4 short horn pulse, pause, repeat) for 4 minutes then 1 minute of silence. This alarm pattern continues until the air is cleared or the alarm is reset. The Red LED will flash on simultaneously with the horn pulses.
NOTE: To reduce the possibility of nuisance tripping of the alarm's alarm circuit, accommodation spaces are to be well ventiliated when household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used.
TESTING YOUR ALARM: Test alarm weekly for proper operation by pushing, then releasing, the TEST/SILENCE button. The alarm will then test itself for proper operation of BOTH the SMOKE and CO detection and alarm circuits. The Red LED will begin to flash rapidly and the alarm will indicate two cycles of the SMOKE alarm pattern. The Red LED will simultaneously flash during the SMOKE alarm pattern. This will be followed by two cycles of the CO alarm pattern, during which the Red LED flashes on simultaneously with the horn pulses.
