Overview

The 260-CO carbon monoxide (CO) detector is an accurate and

reliable means of alerting building occupants of potentially danger-

ous levels of CO in the protected area. The internal electro-chemi-

cal sensor communicates with a sophisticated on-board micropro-

cessor that accurately tracks CO levels over time.

This commercial-grade detection technology results in quick

response, reliable sensing, fast reset time, and superior false alarm

immunity. Its small size allows the 260-CO to blend inconspicu-

ously with any decor, and its smooth contoured design is compat-

ible with both residential and commercial environments.

Unaffected by normal indoor temperature variations, the 260-CO

automatically adjusts for environmental changes and operates

reliably under a wide variety of conditions. It also monitors its own

performance and compensates for sensitivity drift throughout the

course of its service life.

The 260-CO features the SafeTest™ functional test feature, which

facilitates testing with real CO gas. SafeTest meets the functional

test requirement in NFPA 720, 2009/2012 editions.

Like all CO detectors, the 260-CO has a limited service life. But

unlike most, which last only six years, the 260-CO’s advanced

sensor features a service life rated at 10 years. When it approach-

es this point, the 260-CO’s end-of-life timer automatically triggers

a warning that indicates the device must be serviced. This warning

annunciates at the detector, as well as at the control panel, and

optionally at a remote monitoring station.

An integrated temporal-4 sounder provides local signaling capability

for the 260-CO, and it easily interfaces with any intrusion or fire alarm

system by means of its output relay. Its low current draw results in

little additional demand on the system power supply.

Application

The Edwards 260-CO Carbon Monoxide Detector is intended for

ordinary indoor-dwelling unit applications in both residential and

commercial occupancies, including single/multiple family residential

occupancies, hotel rooms, dorm rooms, and other areas approved

by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). The 260-CO detector

can connect to either UL 985 (Household Fire Warning) or UL 864

(Commercial Fire) control panels. It is not intended for use in indus-

trial applications such as gasoline refineries or parking garages,

which require different listings.

The 260-CO is a four-wire device that uses a Class 2 output from

a control panel. Nonetheless, the primary alarm notification de-

vice remains the 260-CO’s internal sounder with the control panel

secondary to these purposes. The 260-CO is not a substitute for life

safety devices, and should be only considered as an integral part of

a comprehensive safety program.

Selecting a suitable location is critical to the correct operation of

CO detectors. Install the 260-CO in accordance with NFPA 720

Standard for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection

and Warning Equipment. Place wall-mounted detectors at least

5 ft. (1.5 m) up from the floor. For ceiling mounted applications,

place the detector at least 1 ft. (0.3 m) from any wall.

Recommended CO detector locations:

9Within 10 ft. (3 m) of all sleeping areas, including areas such

as hotel rooms and dorm rooms.

9In a suitable environment: areas with a temperature range

of 40 to 100 °F (4.4 to 37.8 °C) and with a relative humidity

range of 10 to 90% noncondensing.

9In residential dwellings, locate detectors in every bedroom

and on each level. At a minimum, place one detector outside

the sleeping areas.

Recommended locations for CO detectors

Always check with your local building codes,

legislation, and Authority Having Jurisdiction

for specific CO location requirements in your area

Recommended CO detector locations in commercial occupancies:

9Outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity

of the bedrooms (including areas such as hotel rooms and

dorm rooms)

9On every occupied level of a dwelling unit, including base-

ments, but excluding attics and crawl spaces

9Centrally located on every habitable level of the building and

in every HVAC zone based on an engineering evaluation con-

sidering potential sources and migration of carbon monoxide

9On the ceiling in the same room as permanently installed fuel-

burning appliances

9In any area required by local building codes, legislation, or the

authority having jurisdiction

9On a firm, permanent surface

Do not install the CO detector:

8Within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance

8Within 10 ft. (3 m) of a fuel-burning appliance

8Near air conditioners, heating registers, and any other ventilation

source that may interfere with CO gas entering the detector

8Where furniture or draperies may obstruct the airflow

8In a recessed area

Operation

SafeTest functional test: This test facilitates the use of CO test

spray to verify the correct operation of the detector, which is man-

datory per NFPA 720. The SafeTest mode is activated by pressing

and holding the test/hush button for 5-10 seconds. While in Saf-

eTest mode, directing UL-classified CO testing spray at the sensor

port will result in the activation of the alarm relay, and the sounder

and red LED in a temporal-four pattern. Pressing and holding the

test/hush will exit SafeTest mode.

Distinct temporal-four sounder alarm: The 85 dB temporal-

four sounder provides a distinctive alarm notification that is easy

to differentiate from smoke alarm notification devices. The alarm

beeps four times, rests five seconds and then repeats the pattern.

Test/hush button: Use the test/hush button to test the alarm and

silence an activated alarm. Pushing the test/hush button silences

the integral sounder for five minutes. The red alarm light stays on

and if CO is still present after five minutes, the detector once again

sounds in the temporal-four pattern.

End of sensor life indicator: The detector uses both a flashing

green LED and intermittent sounder chirps to indicate that the de-

tector needs replacing. To silence the detector, push the test/hush

button. The detector also begins signaling a trouble when the CO

sensor is approaching end-of-life.

Common trouble relay: The trouble relay opens to indicate a

trouble condition upon lost power, CO sensor cell trouble, or cell

end-of-life. When connected to a listed control panel, the trouble

relay can report a trouble condition locally at the panel and option-

ally at the central station, if the system is monitored.

WARNINGS: Connect the CO detector only to a zone dedicat-

ed exclusively for CO detection and that is monitored 24 hours

a day. Do not connect to an initiating circuit with fire or security

devices. Failure to properly install, test, and maintain a CO

detector may cause it to fail, potentially resulting in loss of life.

Tandem Interconnect:

Use a Single Circuit Reversal

Module when wiring multiple

260-CO detectors for tandem

interconnect. On alarm, the

module disconnects the detec-

tor from its normal power supply

and applies reverse polarity from

the notification appliance circuit.

This causes the sounders to

activate on other 260-CO detec-

tors that are on the same loop.

Only the initiating detector will

sound and blink red. All others

in tandem mode will sound but

not blink red.

Installation

The 260-CO Carbon Monoxide Detector is a four-wire device

designed to use a Class 2 output from a control panel or auxiliary

power supply Listed to UL 985 or 864 standards.

All wiring must conform to the NFPA 70 National Electric Code, UL

2075, NFPA 720, and applicable codes. Use 14 to 22 AWG wire.

The 260-CO/240-COe

adapter plate

Use a 250-COPLT adaptor

plate when replacing a 240-

COe with a 260-CO to cover

any paint discoloration left

behind.
