Carbon Monoxide Detector

Figure 1: Detector features

WARNING: This detector should be installed by a

certified technician.

Attention: Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read this

user guide which should be saved for future reference and

passed on to any subsequent owner.

Description

The 263A-CO-OEM-ATT01 wireless carbon monoxide (CO)

detector monitors the levels of CO gas and gives early warning

when potentially dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire,

smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous concentration of CO is

detected by the patented and field-proven electrochemical

sensor, an LED indicator illuminates and an internal siren is

activated in temporal 4 pattern. The CO detector also transmits

an alarm signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of

detecting dangerous concentration of CO gas. The control panel

activates its internal siren and reports the detector condition to

the central monitoring station. The CO detector also detects low

battery, wall tamper, and detector end-of-life. These trouble

codes are transmitted to the control panel. The detector

automatically resets when CO is no longer detected.

The 263A-CO-OEM-ATT01 wireless CO Detector is certified to

the ANSI/UL2075 standard for CO detectors. It is intended for

residential indoor dwelling unit applications. It is not intended for

use in industrial applications.

WARNING: After ten years from initial power up, this

detector will beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it

is time to replace the detector. Replace the detector immediately!

It will not detect CO in this condition.

To help identify the date to replace the detector, an area has

been reserved on the side of the detector. Write the “replace by”

date (ten years from power up) with a permanent marker in the

area provided.

WARNING: Installation of this CO detector is not a

substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel

burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust

systems.

Detector location

CO detectors should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living

areas. We recommend that you install a detector on each level of

your home.

When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can

hear the detector from all sleeping areas. If you install only one

CO detector in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the

basement or furnace room.

Place the detector out of reach of children. Under no

circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO

detector.

Locations to avoid

Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components

in this detector. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide

optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance

detectors:

• Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that

may expose the sensor to substances that could damage or

contaminate it.

• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than

40°F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl

spaces, attics, porches, and garages.

• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.

(We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)

• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any

forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

• Do not install on metal surfaces.

• Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or

electrical wires.

• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas

directly exposed to the weather.

• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted

ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the

sensor in time to provide early warning.

• • • Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than optimum performance. • • Do not obstruct the vents located on the detector. Do not place the detector where drapes, furniture, or other objects block the flow of air to the vents. Note: Replacement batteries can be purchased at your local hardware store. Do not install directly above sink.

. After the mounting plate is secured, slide the detector over the mounting plate (see Figure 4 on page 2). Important labels provided 2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal operation. 3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode. 4. Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps two times (approximately 5 seconds), and then release the button. If the unit is operating properly, you will hear four quick beeps, followed by 5 seconds of silence, followed by four quick beeps.

Information about carbon monoxide: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. Periodically review this detector user guide and discuss your CO Alarm emergency procedure with all members of your family. Never ignore a CO Alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of CO.

WARNING: Carbon Monoxide detectors are not smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide detector is not a substitute for installing and maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your home. This CO Detector will not sense smoke, fire, or any poisonous gas other than carbon monoxide even though carbon monoxide can be generated by fire. For this reason you must install smoke alarms to provide early warning of fire and to protect you and your family from fire and its related hazards.
