1. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When the Alarm Sounds

The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps repeating every 5 seconds. The red LED blinks in sync

with the beep pattern. The digital display on model K5DCO will show the PPM level of CO detected.

WARNING: CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM ACTIVATION INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF CARBON

MONOXI O AT HIGH CONCENTRATIONS WHICH CAN KILL YOU.

Based on recommendations from EN 50292, follow these steps if alarm sounds:

1. Keep calm and open all doors and windows. Turn off all fuel-burning appliances if possible. Note: it is possible

that outdoor conditions could influence domestic CO alarms (bad traffic pollution in cold weather, for

example). In these circumstances, the level of indoor CO might actually increase when doors and windows

are opened.

2. If the alarm continues to sound, even after being reset (where appropriate), then evacuate the premises,

alerting other occupants to the risk. Leave doors and windows open. Do not re-enter the premises.

3. Get medical help for anyone suffering the effects of CO poisoning, and advise that CO inhalation is suspected.

4. Call Gas Emergency Services: 0800 111 999, or your local Gas Safe Registered Engineer:

PHONE NUMBER:

Never restart the source of the CO problem until it has been corrected.

Never ignore the sound of the alarm!

NOTE: See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.

4. Introduction, Product Features and Specifications

Introduction

This alarm detects carbon monoxide using an electrochemical cell. Many times throughout this User Guide,

we will refer to Carbon Monoxide as “CO.”

Ten (10) years after the unit was installed, this unit will automatically alert you that it is time to replace the unit.

This is called “End of Unit Life” mode. See Troubleshooting Guide. To help track the life of your alarm, write the

installation date in the space provided on the side of the alarm. A label has been provided that has important

information on what to do in case of a CO alarm. Place the label at eye level on a wall near the alarm after it is

mounted.

Product Features and Specifications:

Temperature Operating Range: -10°C to 45°C

Humidity Operating Range: up to 90% RH non-condensing

5. Limitations of CO Alarms

WARNING: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.

LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS

IMPORTANT: This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. It is

NOT designed to detect any other gas. This alarm has not been tested specifically for use in caravans or

boats. Only CO alarms certified to EN50291-2 are fully approved for this purpose.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon

monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been

fixed. NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM!

WARNING: THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR USE IN ORDINARY INDOOR LOCATIONS OF

FAMILY LIVING UNITS. IT IS NOT DESIGNED TO MEASURE COMPLIANCE WITH COMMERCIAL

AND INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS. THIS ALARM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR INSTALLATION IN HAZARD

OUS LOCATIONS.

IMPORTANT: THIS CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IS DESIGNED TO DETECT CARBON MONOXIDE

FROM ANY SOURCE OF COMBUSTION INCLUDING IMPROPER OR MALFUNCTIONING APPLIANC

ES. THE INSTALLATION OF THIS DEVICE SHOULD NOT BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PROPER

INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE OF FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES INCLUDING APPRO

PRIATE VENTILATION AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS.

This alarm does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve any existing CO problem.

WARNING: THIS DEVICE IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT INDIVIDUALS FROM ACUTE EFFECTS OF

CARBON MONOXIDE EXPOSURE. IT MAY NOT FULLY SAFEGUARD INDIVIDUALS WITH SPECIFIC

MEDICAL CONDITIONS. IF IN DOUBT, CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. INDIVIDUALS WITH

MEDICAL PROBLEMS MAY CONSIDER USING WARNING DEVICES WHICH PROVIDE AUDIBLE AND

VISUAL SIGNALS FOR CARBON MONOXIDE CONCENTRATIONS UNDER 30 PPM.

This alarm has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 50 PPM.

This alarm requires a continuous supply of electrical power – it will not work without power.

WARNING: THIS CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR INSTALLING AND

MAINTAINING AN APPROPRIATE NUMBER OF SMOKE ALARMS IN YOUR HOME. THIS ALARM

WILL NOT SENSE SMOKE, FIRE, OR ANY POISONOUS GAS OTHER THAN CARBON MONOXIDE.

FOR THIS REASON YOU MUST INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS TO PROVIDE EARLY WARNING OF FIRE

AND TO PROTECT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FROM FIRE AND ITS RELATED HAZARDS.

6. Recommended Locations for CO Alarms

Note: CO alarms should be installed following the guidance of relevant local standards, such as

EN 50292.

Whether the alarm is wall-mounted or ceiling mounted, place the alarm a horizontal distance of between

1 metre and 3 metres from a fuel burning appliance.

When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum

of 150 mm below the ceiling. The bottom of the alarm should also be at a level greater than the height

of any door or window.

Locate within hearing distance of bedrooms* and place at sleeping height if a heating appliance is in the

bedroom.

CO alarms in rooms with sloped ceilings should be located on the high side of the room.

Ceiling mounted alarms should be at least 300 mm from any wall.

If there is a partition in the room, locate the alarm on the same side of the partition as the potential source.

* A CO alarm should be installed in all rooms containing a fuel burning appliance. Additional CO alarms

should be installed in rooms where most awake time is spent, in every sleeping area, and on every level of

the home.
