Silencing Nuisance Alarms
CO Alarm Features and Functions
Testing the CO Alarm
Every CO alarm should be tested at least weekly to
ensure proper operation.
To test the alarm, press and release the button on the
front face.
The alarm will sound with 4 beeps (2X) and the WARNING
light will flash red rapidly.
All four icons will strobe to indicate proper function.
The alarm will then send out a network test
command and all other alarms on the radio network
will perform the same internal test.
If the alarm fails the self-test, the horn will sound a
single long tone. If this occurs, replace the alarm.
The CFCO10 alarm is equipped with a silence feature that can silence the alarm.
If during normal operation the alarm is triggered,
and
all appropriate safety precautions are being
taken,
the alarm can be silenced for six minutes by
pressing the button on the front face of the unit.
The silence feature will also silence any alarms that
were triggered remotely. However, the initiating alarm
must be silenced directly.
If the quantity of CO gas is too great, the alarm
will silence only briefly, then resume.
End-of-Life Feature
The CFCO10 has been designed to last for a period of
up to ten years. When the alarm has reached the end
of its useful life, the End of Life Signal will occur.
Note: Certain conditions such as a high ambient
temperature or a very dry environment can reduce the
life of the CO alarm to less than ten years.
When the End-of-Life Signal occurs, follow the
deactivation procedure on Page 12, and
replace alarm.
