1.3 Description
1.3.1 The 12 volt DC remote alarm is a high-intensity,
red-lens strobe light and high decibel horn. Use the
remote alarm in high noise areas or where the CO
monitor cannot be placed in a conspicuous location. The
alarm does not require an external power source when
correctly connected to a CMS monitor. The alarm
sounds and the strobe light flashes whenever the CO
monitor goes into an alarm condition. Using additional
cable, the alarm may be placed up to 150 ft. from the
monitor.
