1 / 8 2533-7222-00 263A-CO-OEM-ATT01 Carbon Monoxide Detector Figure 1: Detector features WARNING: This detector should be installed by a certified technician. Attention: Please take a few minutes to thoroughly read this user guide which should be saved for future reference and passed on to any subsequent owner. Description The 263A-CO-OEM-ATT01 wireless carbon monoxide (CO) detector 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 the patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator illuminates and an internal siren is activated in temporal 4 pattern. The CO detector 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 detector condition to the central monitoring station. The CO detector also detects low battery, wall tamper, and detector end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted to the control panel. The detector automatically resets when CO is no longer detected. The 263A-CO-OEM-ATT01 wireless CO Detector is certified to the ANSI/UL2075 standard for CO detectors. It is intended for residential indoor dwelling unit applications. It is not intended for use in industrial applications. WARNING: After ten years from initial power up, this detector will beep two times every 30 seconds to indicate that it is time to replace the detector. Replace the detector immediately! It will not detect CO in this condition. To help identify the date to replace the detector, an area has been reserved on the side of the detector. Write the “replace by” date (ten years from power up) with a permanent marker in the area provided. WARNING: Installation of this CO detector is not a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems. Detector location CO detectors should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas. We recommend that you install a detector on each level of your home. When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can hear the detector from all sleeping areas. If you install only one CO detector in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room. Place the detector out of reach of children. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO detector. Figure 2: Recommended locations Locations to avoid Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this detector. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance detectors: • Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that may expose the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it. • Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics, porches, and garages. • Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.) • Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any forced/unforced air ventilation openings. • Do not install on metal surfaces. • Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or electrical wires. • Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas directly exposed to the weather. • Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.

Important labels provided Two labels have been provided that have important information on what to do in case of an alarm. Add the phone number of your emergency service provider in the space provided. Place one label next to the detector after it is mounted, and one label near a fresh air source such as a door or window. Programming The following section provides a general guideline for programming (learning) the unit into control panel memory. Refer to the panel documentation for complete programming details. To add the CO detector to panel memory: 1. Set the panel to program mode. 2. Proceed to the Learn/Add Sensors menu. 3. Select the desired sensor number. 4. Push the “Learn” button on the RF Module (within the detector) using the provided tool to initiate enrollment. The access hole is on the side of the detector. 5. When the panel prompts you for sensor group number, enter the appropriate group number based on the system panel. 6. At the panel, exit program mode. Note: Each CO detector is programmed with a unique ID when manufactured. The unique ID is enrolled into the control panel at the time of installation, allowing the CO detector to communicate with that specific control panel. Testing Note: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable. WARNING: The control panel must be placed into sensor test mode while conducting any tests. Placing the control panel into sensor test mode for all testing helps to protect against false alarms and unintentional central station reporting. Due to the loudness of the detector, we suggest that you place your fingers over the sounder vent while testing your detector. Caution: Continuous exposure to the high sound level of this detector over an extended period of time may cause hearing loss. The CO detector provides three test modes: • Normal CO detector test. Conducts an internal self-test and tests the sounder. • RF communication test. Tests the communication path with the control panel. • CO sensor functional gas test. Tests the functional operation of the CO sensing element. Normal CO detector test 1. Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO detector. 2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal operation. 3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode. 4.

Maintenance tips To keep your detector in good working order: • Perform a CO detector test once a week (see “Normal CO detector test” on page 3). • Vacuum the detector cover once a month to remove accumulated dust. • Never use detergents or solvents to clean the detector. Chemicals can permanently damage or temporarily contaminate the detector. • Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, paint, or other aerosols near the detector. • Do not paint the detector. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with proper sensor operation. Move the CO detector to a remote location, to prevent possible damage or contamination of the sensor, prior to performing any of the following: • Staining or stripping floors or furniture, painting or wall-papering. • Using aerosols or adhesives. WARNING: Reinstall the CO detector as soon as possible to assure continuous protection. The following is a list of substances that at high levels can damage the CO sensor or cause temporary readings that are not CO readings: Ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, and sulfur dioxide. Also most aerosol sprays, alcohol-based products, paint, thinner, solvent, adhesive, hair spray, after shave, perfume, auto exhaust (cold start), and some cleaning agents.

2533-7222-00 7 / 8 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. Periodically review this detector user guide 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 detectors 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. 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. Symptoms of CO poisoning The following common symptoms are related to CO poisoning and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: • Mild exposure = Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms). • Medium exposure = Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. • Extreme exposure = Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately. Conditions that can produce carbon monoxide 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; heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). • Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans. • 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 What CO detectors 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 detector is located, installed, and maintained as described in this user guide. 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. This CO detector 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. CO detectors have limitation. Like any other electronic device, CO detectors are not fool-proof. CO detectors have a limited operational life. You must test your CO detector weekly, because it could fail to operate at any time. If your CO detector fails to test properly, or if its self-diagnostic test reveals a malfunction, immediately have the unit replaced. This detector will not monitor CO levels while in a trouble condition. Caution: This CO detector can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It is possible that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the detector. The rate and ability with which CO reaches the detector may be affected by: • Doors or other obstructions. • Fresh air from a vent, an open window, or other source. • 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 detector installed on a different level. (For example, CO in the basement may not reach a detector on the second level, near the bedrooms). For these reasons, we recommend you provide complete coverage by placing a CO Detector on every level of the home. CO Detectors 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. Important warning statements This CO detector is designed to detect carbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.

8 / 8 2533-7222-00 WARNING: Carbon Monoxide detectors are not smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide detector is not a substitute for installing and maintaining an appropriate number of smoke alarms in your home. This CO Detector will not sense smoke, fire, or any poisonous gas other than carbon monoxide even though carbon monoxide can be generated by fire. 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. WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), commercial, or industrial standards. It is not suitable for installation in hazardous locations as defined in the National Electric Code. The installation of this device should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems. It does not prevent CO from occurring, nor can it solve an 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 Carbon Monoxide detector requires a continuous supply of electrical power - it will not work without power. This CO Detector has not been investigated for carbon monoxide detection below 70 PPM.
