The FCC‑380 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector
(Macurco CM-E1) detects CO concentrations in the air
at or below the UL 2034 sensitivity limits for CO
exposure and before symptoms of CO exposure
appear. It alerts personnel to possible exposure
through audible and visual alarms.
Install the detector in rooms adjacent to areas where
CO concentrations are expected (garages or furnace
rooms). Prime application locations include work
areas or bedrooms.
Notice
Do not install the detector in areas where CO
concentrations are expected (garages or furnace
rooms).
Notice
The detector is not designed to detect smoke,
fire, heat, or other gases (combustible or non-
combustible).
Functions
LED Display
The CO detector’s three-color visual LED display
indicates status and contamination level. A green
display indicates the detector is operating normally.
An amber display indicates a system trouble. A red
display indicates dangerous CO levels.
Operation Choices
Alarm System Operation
The CO detector can function as part of an alarm
system and connects to an alarm control panel
through either a normally-open or normally-closed
initiating circuit. If the carbon monoxide detector is
connected to an alarm control panel, the control panel
must provide an alarm for CO that is distinct from
alarms for fire or intrusion.
Stand-Alone Alarm Operation
The CO detector can function as a stand-alone device
using its internal alarm (repeated loud tone bursts
during alarm and chirps if sensor trouble is found).
Stand-alone operation was not evaluated by
Underwriters Laboratories.
