How to Install Your CO Alarm (cont.)
13. Two self-adhesive labels have been provided with instructions indicating
what to do if the alarm sounds. Add the phone numbers of your
emergency services provider and a qualified technician to each label.
Place one of the labels in a visible area next to the alarm, and place the
other label near a source of fresh air which will be used as a gathering
place if the alarm sounds.
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:
On
Green indicator constantly ON indicates unit is receiving AC
power.
Service 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.
Alarm Red indicator flashes and alarm horn sounds four fast beeps
and then is quiet for 5 seconds.
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 up to six minutes. The ALARM signals will be
reenergized within 6 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 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.
Test Your CO Alarm Weekly
Momentarily press the TEST/RESET button and note the alarm sound. Also
note that the LED indicators flash the proper test sequence as described in
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM. If the alarm does not beep after
depressing the TEST/RESET button or exhibit the correct LED test
sequence, immediately return the CO alarm to Maple Chase for repair or
replacement. See the warranty information at the end of this manual. Do not
attempt to repair the unit yourself as this may cause damage and will void
the warranty.
What to Do if Your Alarm Sounds
Carbon Monoxide cannot be seen, felt, tasted, or smelled – but it can be
FATAL.
IF THE RED ALARM LED INDICATOR IS FLASHING AND THE ALARM IS
SOUNDING APPROXIMATELY EVERY FIVE SECONDS, IT INDICATES THE
PRESENCE OF CO WHICH CAN BE FATAL. YOU MUST QUICKLY DO THE
FOLLOWING:
1. Operate
TEST/RESET
button;
2.
Call your emergency services [fire department or 911];
3. Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door/window.
Make certain 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 peri-
od, repeat steps 1 – 3 and call a qualified appliance technician
(_________________) to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and to 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 technicians and consult the manufacturers’ instructions,
or contact the manufacturers 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.
If the CO alarm sounds its alarm horn again, it has sensed CO. This is
not a false alarm.
