Fig 1. Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm
The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm contains a sounder which generates the ANSI
S3.41 temporal 4 pattern in an alarm condition (see Table 1 for temporal 4 pattern).
In alarm, a message is also sent to the control panel and the detector’s ID is displayed at
the console. During an alarm condition, pressing the detector’s hush button will silence
the sounder for five minutes. The mounting base installation is simplified by the incorporation of features compatible for both drywall fasteners (not supplied) and other methods.
PROGRAMMING
Tricoloured LED (green, yellow, red) and a sounder on the detector provide local
visual and audible indication of the detector’s status as listed in Table 1.
During initial power-up the LED blinks alternately green, yellow then red.
It takes about 60 seconds for the detector’s CO sensor to stabilize.
After power-up has completed and the detector is functioning normally, the green
LED blinks once every 12 seconds.

Table 1. Detector status and indication
Before testing the detector, the internal wireless transmitter must be programmed
into the Control Panel.
1. Refer to the Control Panel’s instructions to program the receiver with the CO
detector’s serial number (TX ID from the label).
2. Press the detector’s TEST/HUSH button for 4 seconds. The detector will perform
a sounder test, a sensitivity test, and send a test signal to the Control Panel.
3. Verify that the signal was received by the Control Panel.
4. Exit Control Panel programming before testing the CO detector.
MOUNTING THE DETECTOR
Note: These alarm devices should only be installed by a competent engineer.
First, determine the best location for the detector, one that provides proper carbon
monoxide detection (see Figure 2 for suggested detection locations) .
Proper Carbon Monoxide Detection Location
Wall-mounted detectors should be positioned at least as high as a light switch,
and at least six inches (15 cm) from the ceiling. In a ceiling location, the detector
should be at least 12 inches (30 cm) from any wall.
Where to install, ideally:
- Within 10 feet (3 m) of a sleeping area
- Inside the bedroom if it contains a fuel burning appliance
- On every floor of the building
- Ideally, install in any room that contains a fuel burning appliance
- If the appliance or the room is not normally used, such as the boiler room,
the detector should be placed just outside the room so the alarm can be heard
more easily
Where NOT to install, ideally:
- Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven
- Do not locate detector within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance
- Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts i.e. extractor fan or air
vent
- Outside
- Do not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s environmental specifications
- In or below a cupboard
- Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture
- Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor
- Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed
Detector Trouble: When the sensor supervision is in trouble condition, the yellow
LED blinks once every six seconds and there is a chirp every 45 seconds. After
12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
Detector end of life feature: When the detector has reached the end of its life,
the yellow LED blinks once every 23 seconds and there is a chirp every
45 seconds. After 12 hours the panel will display a loss of supervision message.
This indicates that the CO sensor inside the detector has passed the end of its life
and the detector must be replaced. The detector lifespan is five years from
the date of manufacture. Refer to DETECTOR REPLACEMENT section.
Low Battery Detection: The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm is powered by
a single 3-volt CR123A Panasonic Lithium battery (included). The detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is detected, the transmitter sends
a low battery message to the control panel, which displays the detector’s ID at
low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector will blink every 12 seconds.
The detector’s sounder will chirp every 45 seconds (yellow LED continues to
blink) until the battery is replaced. Pressing the hush button will silence the chirps
for 12 hours, if no other trouble conditions exist. The battery should be replaced
WHEN the chirps begin. Be sure to replace the battery with a fresh one.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
Mounting Procedure
To replace the battery:
Once a suitable location is found, mount the detector as follows:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise. Remove and dispose of the battery according to your local regulations.
2. To ensure proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 20 seconds before
installing new battery.
3. Install a new 3-volt CR123A Panasonic Lithium battery (available from your
Panasonic dealer) in the battery compartment. Follow the polarity diagram inside
the compartment. If the battery is incorrectly inserted please remove gently with a
non-conductive tool and correctly reinsert.
4. Reinstall the detector onto the mounting base by turning the detector clockwise.
1. Refer to the diagram overleaf and install the mounting base on the ceiling or on
the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required. Use the two
screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow
of the screw slots and secure.
5. After the power-up sequence the green LED should blink about once every
12 seconds to indicate normal operation. If the battery is not installed correctly,
the detector will not operate and the battery may be damaged. If the detector does
2. Fit the detector inside the base by aligning it over the base as shown (detector’s
alignment notch should be slightly offset from mounting base tamper release tab),
then turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.
3. Test the detector after completing the installation (as described in the TESTING
THE DETECTOR section of this manual) and refer to the control system’s instructions for additional information concerning the use of wireless devices.
DO NOT attach the detector to removable ceiling panels.
1. Operate hush/test button.
NOTE: Two warning labels are provided in the detector box. Please stick one
next to the CO detector and another near to a source of fresh air where members
of the household will gather if alarm signal sounds.
2. Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open window.
3. Check all persons are accounted for.
4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door/window until
the emergency services’ responders have arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
5. Call your emergency local service, fire department or 911
6. If service signal sounds, one chirp, then check the service section to try and
correct.
7. After following steps 1-6, if your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period,
repeat steps 1-6 and call your local qualified technician to investigate for sources
of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the
equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected
by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the
manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been, operating in an
attached garage or adjacent to the residence.
The premises should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or
similar contaminants are used.
DETECTOR REPLACEMENT
This detector is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide sensor. Over time
the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be replaced with a new carbon
monoxide detector. The detector’s lifespan is 5 years from the date of
manufacture.
Fig 3. Mounting the detector
CAUTION
Airborne dust particles can enter the detector. Apollo recommends the removal
of detectors before beginning construction or any other dust producing activity.
Carbon monoxide detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
NOTE: When the detector is removed from its base, a Tamper message is sent to
the central station.
Tamper Protection
This detector has a built-in tamper switch that will cause a Tamper signal to be
displayed at the console of the alarm system if it is removed from its mounting
base.
The Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm includes a tamper resistant feature that
prevents removal from the mounting base without the use of a tool. To engage
the tamper resistant feature, cut the small plastic tab located on the mounting
base and then install the detector. To remove the detector from the base once
it has been made tamper resistant, use appropriate screwdriver to depress
the square tamper release tab located on the skirt of the mounting base
and turn the detector counterclockwise.
NOTE: Before replacing the detector, notify the proper authorities that maintenance is being performed and the system will be temporarily out of service.
Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent any unwanted
alarms. Dispose of the detector in accordance with any local regulations.
TESTING THE DETECTOR
NOTE: Before testing, notify the central station that the detector system is undergoing maintenance in order to prevent unwanted alarms. Testing the detector will
activate an alarm and send a signal to the panel. Also, the test function cannot be
used if the detector has a trouble or end-of-life condition.
Detectors must be tested after installation and following periodic maintenance.
Testing Detector Operation
This test checks the detector’s sounder, LEDs, and transmitter.
1. The test button is located on the detector housing.
2. Push and hold the test button for a minimum of 5 seconds. The alarm panel
will trigger and then the detector will go into alarm. The sounder begins the
temporal 4 pattern and the red LED blinks. The alarm panel’s keypad should
display the detector’s name in alarm.
CAUTION: Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection
This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose
to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not open or tamper with
the detector as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against
the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly installed.
CAUTION: This device will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas
at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This carbon monoxide alarming device is designed to detect carbon monoxide
gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire
or other gases unless the product has been investigated and determined to
comply with applicable requirements.
This device should not be installed as a substitute for proper installation, use,
and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation
and exhaust systems.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels
are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impossible to detect with
the human senses. Under normal conditions in a room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by appliances should not be dangerous.
Conditions that can result in transient CO situations:
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by
- outdoor ambient conditions, such as wind direction and/or velocity,
including high gusts of wind, and insufficient draft in the vent pipes,
- negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans,
- simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing
for limited internal air,
- loose vent pipe connections from fuel-fired appliances,
- obstructions, or unconventional vent pipe designs that can amplify
the above situations,
- poorly designed or maintained chimneys and/or vents,
2. Extended operation of unvented fuel-burning devices (range, oven,
fireplace, etc),
3. Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gases near the ground,
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
The detector will also cause a trouble condition once it has reached the end of its
useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace the detector.
NOTE: The replacement date that appears on the device is the date beyond
which the device may no longer detect carbon monoxide accurately and should
be immediately replaced.
CAUTION
It should be noted the installation, operation, testing and maintenance of the
Wireless Carbon Monoxide Alarm is different than smoke detectors. Per NFPA
720 section 5.3.7.2 the detector shall not be connected to a zone that signals
a fire condition (i.e. smoke detectors zones). Therefore, the Wireless Carbon
Monoxide Alarm must be programmed as a non-fire zone. See the control’s
Installation Instructions for the appropriate carbon monoxide zone type to be
programmed.
