263B-CO-OEM capable of detecting CO gases in the event of dangerous CO gas exposure. Product Introduction WARNING: After seven years from initial power up, this alarm will beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately! It will not detect CO in this condition. Carbon Monoxide Alarm This wireless carbon monoxide (CO) Alarm (product) monitors the levels of CO gas and gives early warning when potentially dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire, smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous concentration of CO is detected by patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator illuminates and an internal siren is activated in Temporal 4 pattern. The CO Alarm also transmits an alarm signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of detecting dangerous concentration of CO gas. The control panel activates its internal siren and reports the alarm condition to the central monitoring station (if the system is monitored). The CO Alarm also detects low battery, wall tamper, and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted to the control panel which reports the condition to the central monitoring station. The alarm automatically reset when CO is no longer detected. To help identify the date to replace the alarm, an area has been reserved on the side of the alarm. Write the “replace by” date (seven years from power up) with a permanent marker in the area provided.

What CO alarms can and cannot do CO Alarms provide early warning of the presence of CO, usually before a healthy adult would experience symptoms. This early warning is possible however, only if your CO Alarm is located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual. WARNING: Changes to Section 15 – Regulatory Information is strictly prohibited. Any changes or modification made to the product without the permission of the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to use this product. Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, long-term exposures to low levels may cause symptoms, as well as short-term exposures to high levels. This unit has a time-weighted alarm; the higher the level of CO present, the sooner the alarm will be triggered. 16. Information about Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when inhaled. CO inhibits the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen. This CO Alarm can only warn you of the presence of CO. It does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an existing CO problem. If your unit has alarmed and you’ve provided ventilation by leaving your windows and doors open, the CO buildup may have dissipated by the time help responds. Although your problem may appear to be temporarily solved, it is crucial that the source of the CO is determined and that the appropriate repairs are made. Periodically review this alarm manual and discuss your CO Alarm emergency procedure with all members of your family. Never ignore a CO Alarm. A true alarm is an indication of potentially dangerous levels of CO. CO Alarms are designed to alert you to the presence of CO before an emergency - before most people would experience symptoms of CO poisoning, giving you time to resolve the problem calmly. CO Alarms have limitation. Like any other electronic device, CO Alarms are not fool-proof. CO Alarms have a limited operational life. You must test your CO alarm weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time. Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symptoms of CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves either by exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. You should take extra precautions to protect high-risk persons from CO exposure because they may experience ill effects from CO at levels that would not ordinarily affect a healthy adult. If your CO Alarm fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced. This alarm will not monitor CO levels while in a trouble condition. CO Alarm can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It is possible that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm. The rate and ability with which CO reaches the alarm may be affected by: Symptoms of CO poisoning The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: o Mild exposure = Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms). o Medium exposure = Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. o Extreme exposure = Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately. Doors or other obstructions. Fresh air from a vent, an open window, or other source. CO being present on one level of the home and not reaching a CO Alarm installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may not reach an alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms). For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing a CO Alarm on every level of the home. Conditions that can produce carbon monoxide o Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by: o Outdoor ambient conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). o Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans. UTC. All Rights Reserved. Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited internal air. Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters. Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which amplify the above situations. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.). Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses near the ground. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home. CO Alarms should not be used to detect the presence of natural gas (methane), propane, butane, or other combustible fuels. Instruct children never to touch or otherwise interfere with the alarm. Warn children of the dangers of CO poisoning. P/N 0000000 – Rev.
