expander provides two LEDs for each zone. You can install two display expanders in the
panel.

• LED 1 - Alarm: Red LED flashes

LED operation zones 13 through 16

For CAN/ULC-S527compliant installations, CO detectors with a CO alarm device type must be
programmed using zones with bicolor LEDs (zones 13 through 16 (16 zone expander) and 29
through 32 (32 zone expander)) and the zone type must be set to Supervisory. The panel
Event Notification must be set to Zone. Using this configuration ensures that when the “CO
alarm” device type goes active, the panel displays a yellow LED indication instead of a red.
