Carbon Monoxide Detector
TESTING
I
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to test the detector by any other means than using the
"test" button. DO NOT attempt to produce carbon monoxide to test the detector.
The CO detector should be tested weekly for proper operation:
1. Push the test button until the yellow LED lights and a short beep is heard for approximately
three seconds.
2. Release button.
The detector will test itself for proper operation. Upon completion of the self-test, the alarm will
sound and each of the LEDs will light for approximately 3/4 second. The detector will then resume
normal operation.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Under normal operating conditions, the battery will last approximately one year. The detector has a
low battery monitor circuit which will cause the detector to make a chirping sound then the red LED
to flash every 30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days indicating the battery is low. Replace
the battery when this occurs. Use only 9-volt batteries for the CO detector replacement.
I
WARNING: Use only the batteries specified for replacement. Use of different
batteries may have a detrimental effect on the CO detector.
CLEANING
Use the following procedure to clean the CO detector:
1. Remove the detector from the mounting plate by rotating the detector in the direction of the
"OFF" arrow on the cover.
2. Clean the interior of the detector by using a vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming through the
openings around the perimeter of the detector.
3. Wipe the outside of the detector with a damp cloth.
4. Replace detector.
5. Test detector using the testing procedure.
UNIT REPLACEMENT
