CO ALARM
Power Pack Activation
See diagram below
Your detector comes complete with an
integrated power pack that will provide power
for its entire operational life. To activate the
power pack you need to pull the disabling
tab (see image). This will in turn pull out the
metal disabling clip, which is attached to the
end of the tab, from the disabling socket
which is situated on the underside of the
detector. Retain the disabling tab for future
use by taping it to page 22 of the CO-9D user
manual.
When the detector is activated the screen
will display all of the icons, then after a few
seconds will show the current CO level. The
power indicator LED below the
symbol
will also flash green once every minute to
indicate that the detector is receiving power
from the power pack and is fully operational. A
symbol will also flash briefly on the LCD
screen approximately once every minute.
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry by
pushing the centre of the Test/Mode button
briefly to confirm that the detector is operat-
ing properly. The sounder will sound as soon
as the button is pressed, and the Alarm LED
will illuminate red indicating that the sounder
is working and the power pack is providing
power to the unit. You'll notice that the display
will switch to temperature mode, this is ex-
plained later in the manual, press button again
to return to the CO display. This test for the
sounder, power pack and circuitry should be
performed on a weekly basis. This should be
continued for the lifetime of the product.
! WARNING: Prolonged exposure to the
sounder in close proximity to your ears may
damage your hearing.
Under normal operating conditions, the power
pack will last for the lifetime of the product i.e 7
years. The detector will not protect against the
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning when the
power pack has drained.
! WARNING: Prolonged exposure to
extreme high or low temperatures may
reduce the life of the power pack.
Power Pack Deactivation
Your CO-9D is portable making it ideal for
taking with you on holiday. You will need to
deactivate your detector when traveling or
even when storing e.g when decorating.
Fitting is reverse of removal. To deactivate the
detector the two ends of the metal clip must
be inserted into the corresponding holes in the
disabling socket located on the underside of
the detector (see image). You can ensure that
the product is disabled by pressing the test
button- If there is no sound from the sounder
then the clip has been fitted correctly.
Note: If the disabling tab is no longer
available then the clip can be replicated by
opening out a thin metal paper clip into a
U-shape.
Operating Features
Standby Mode
The alarm can display two views when in
normal standby mode, the current level of CO
or the current room temperature in degrees
centigrade (ºC). When the alarm is showing the
