Activation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can kill you. If alarm sounds:

1.

Operate test/reset button;

 

2.

Call your emergency services, fire department or 911; (Phone No.

)

 

 

 

 

3.Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.

4.After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps

1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician; (Phone No.) to

investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers' instructions or contact the manufacturer(s) directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

INSTALLING THE ALARM FOR RESIDENTIAL USE

LOCATION

One of the most important considerations in any CO alarm system is the location of the alarms. Statistics of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) show that most of the fatal CO occurrences happen at night while people are sleeping.

Early warning of CO is best achieved by the installation of CO alarms on all floors and areas of the household including attached garages. Placement of a alarm in a garage may cause an alarm due to CO from automotive exhaust.

RECOMMENDATIONS

–Put a CO alarm inside each bedroom where the occupant closes the door while sleeping. Particulate smoke can be blocked by a closed door, but CO fumes are likely to get through.

–A CO alarm should be installed in any family living unit containing a fuel-burning appliance or fireplace or having an attached garage.

–A CO alarm should be centrally located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. Where bedrooms are separated and audibility of the alarm to occupants within the bedroom area could be seriously impaired, more than one unit could be needed.

CD-9590, CD-9690 specifications

Universal Security Instruments (USI) has established a reputation for developing reliable and advanced home safety products. Two significant models in their lineup are the CD-9690 and CD-9590, which are smoke and carbon monoxide detectors known for their user-friendly design and innovative technology.

The CD-9690 is notable for its combination of smoke and carbon monoxide detection capabilities. It features a photoelectric smoke sensing technology that is highly effective at identifying slow-burning fires, which can release significant smoke before becoming a full-blown blaze. This technology minimizes false alarms caused by cooking smoke or steam, providing peace of mind for homeowners. Moreover, the unit comes equipped with a voice alarm feature that distinctly announces the type of danger detected, whether it's smoke or carbon monoxide, allowing users to respond more effectively in an emergency.

In contrast, the CD-9590 is a robust carbon monoxide detector that utilizes advanced electrochemical sensing technology. This technology ensures high sensitivity and reliability, enabling the device to accurately detect dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the environment. The CD-9590 is designed to provide a loud 85-decibel alarm along with a voice alert when CO levels rise above recommended thresholds, ensuring that users are promptly informed of potential hazards.

Both models are equipped with a battery backup system, ensuring they remain operational during power outages. The detectors come with a low battery alert, which signifies when it's time to replace the batteries, reducing the risk of the units being non-functional when needed most.

Another key characteristic of the CD-9690 and CD-9590 is their user-friendly installation. The units are designed for easy wall or ceiling mounting and include mounting hardware in the package. Additionally, the sleek design of both models makes them aesthetically pleasing and easy to integrate into any home decor.

Both models also feature test and silence buttons, allowing users to easily test the functionality of the alarms and silence them during non-emergency situations, further enhancing user control.

Overall, the Universal Security Instruments CD-9690 and CD-9590 detectors combine advanced technology, reliability, and ease of use, making them valuable additions to any safety-conscious home. With their ability to promptly detect and announce various dangers, these detectors play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of residents. Investing in such devices is a proactive step towards home safety and peace of mind.
