detect CO within 90 seconds of the batteries being installed.
Normal conditions: If there is no CO present, the green power LED will flash once every 30 seconds.

will flash for as long the CO remains at a dangerous level.
Silence function: If required, the audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the "Test" button. The
detector will re-activate after 30 seconds if CO remains present.
End of battery life: When the battery is run down, the unit will "beep" once every 30 seconds. The
green LED will continue to flash every 30 seconds.
Alarm memory feature: If you leave the property for a long period and in your absence the alarm has
activated, the unit will memorize the activation. On returning to the property press the "Test" button for

absence. The property should be immediately ventilated and the cause of the alarm investigated and
rectified. Pressing the "Test" button again will return the unit to normal operation.
End of sensor life: When the sensor comes to the end of its life, the yellow LED will flash
continuously and the alarm will sound.
