HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS

GENERAL INFORMATION

• This CO Alarm does not operate without working batteries. Removing the batteries,

or failure to replace them at the end of their service life, removes your protection.

A CO Alarm measures the CO levels in the air. It will alarm if CO levels rise

quickly (if the heat exchanger on your furnace breaks, for example), or if CO

is consistently present (a slow CO leak on a fuel-burning appliance).

This Carbon Monoxide Alarm features a permanently installed sensor and an 85 dB

alarm horn. It also has a silence feature to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CO ALARM

WELCOME CHIRP Horn chirps and light blinks once when

batteries are first connected.

ALARM RECEIVING BATTERY POWER Light flashes every minute. Horn is silent.

LOW BATTERY WARNING

The light continues to flash (RED) and the horn

also “chirps” once every minute. This warning

should last for up to 7 days, but you should

replace the batteries as soon as possible.

DURING TESTING

Light flashes Red with the horn

pattern (4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps),

simulating a CO Alarm condition.

CO ALARM

Sensor has detected enough CO to trigger an

alarm. Light flashes rapidly and horn sounds

loudly (repeating 4 beeps, pause). See “If

Your CO Alarm Sounds” for details. During

an alarm, move everyone to a source of

fresh air. DO NOT move the CO Alarm!

CO ALARM REQUIRES SERVICE

(MALFUNCTION SIGNAL)

The light flashes (RED) and the horn

sounds 3 “chirps” every minute. CO

Alarm needs to be replaced.

CO ALARM HAS REACHED ITS END OF LIFE

The light flashes (RED) and the horn

sounds 5 “chirps” every minute. CO

Alarm needs to be replaced.

SILENCING THE END OF LIFE SIGNAL

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the End of Life warning “chirp” for up to 2 days.

You can silence the End of Life warning “chirp” by pressing the Test/Silence button. The

horn will chirp, acknowledging that the End of Life silence feature has been activated.

After approximately 2 days, the End of Life “chirp” will resume.

TESTING & MAINTENANCE

WEEKLY TESTING

• Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced

immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.

• DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding. Exposure at close range

may be harmful to your hearing. When testing, step away when horn starts sounding.

Push and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover until the LED flashes. The alarm

horn will sound 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The ALARM (RED) light will flash.

The alarm sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If it does not alarm, make sure fresh batteries are

correctly installed, and test it again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it immediately.

IF THE ALARM DOES NOT TEST PROPERLY:

1. Make sure the battery is installed correctly.

2. Be sure the Alarm is clean and dust-free.

3. Install a fresh 9V battery*and test the Alarm again.

• DO NOT try fixing the Alarm yourself – this will void your warranty! If the CO Alarm is

still not operating properly, and it is still under warranty, please see “How to Obtain

Warranty Service” in the Limited Warranty. Install a new CO Alarm immediately.

• The Test/Silence button is the only proper way to test the CO Alarm. NEVER use

vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent damage and voids your warranty.

*For a list of acceptable replacement batteries, see “Regular Maintenance.”

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

TO KEEP THE CO ALARM IN GOOD WORKING ORDER:

• Test it every week using the Test/Silence button.

• Vacuum the CO Alarm cover once a month, using the soft brush attachment. Never use water,

cleaners, or solvents, since these may damage the unit. Test the CO Alarm again after vacuuming.

• Replace the battery when the CO Alarm “chirps” about every minute (the low battery warning).

The low battery warning should last for 7 days, but you should replace

the battery immediately to continue your protection.

CHOOSING A REPLACEMENT BATTERY:

This CO Alarm requires one 9V alkaline battery. The following batteries

are acceptable as replacements: Alkaline Batteries — Duracell MN1604 or

Energizer 522; Lithium Batteries — Ultralife U9VL-J, U9VL-J-P.

These replacement batteries are commonly available at local retail stores.

• Always use the exact batteries specified by this User’s Manual. DO NOT use

rechargeable batteries. Clean the battery contacts and also those of the device prior

to battery installation. Install batteries correctly with regard to polarity (+ and -).

• Please dispose of or recycle used batteries properly, following any local

regulations. Consult your local waste management authority or recycling

organization to find an electronics recycling facility in your area. DO NOT

DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN FIRE. BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.

• Keep battery out of reach of children. In the event a battery is swallowed,

immediately contact your poison control center, your physician, or the National

Battery Ingestion hotline at 202-625-3333 as serious injury may occur.

DO NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the CO Alarm.

DO NOT paint over the CO Alarm. Doing so may cause permanent damage.

Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect the sensor. When

using any of these materials near the CO Alarm, make sure the room is well ventilated.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely,

or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained,

are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real

danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight” homes with added

insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should

be discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure.

Exposure to carbon monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

Some individuals are more sensitive to CO than others, including people with cardiac

or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people

can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. Members of sensitive populations

should consult their doctors for advice on taking additional precautions.

FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of

CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may be

difficult to locate the source of CO. BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be obligated

to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud

alarm before carbon monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for

proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks,

or separations. These conditions can prevent proper air movement and cause

backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many local gas or oil

companies and HVAC companies offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances. Check appliances for

excessive rust and scaling. Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The

flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and CO

may be present. Keep the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans when

they are available on all fuel-burning appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to

the outside. Do not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft hood on an operating

furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO is escaping into your home,

open a window or a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read this manual in its

entirety, and make sure you understand what to do if your CO Alarm sounds.

Printed in Mexico M08-152713-CO250-US K1 8/16

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning

fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking

chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or vehicle

in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems can

be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds. Heavy air in the

vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your home. Since these

conditions can come and go, they are also hard to recreate during a CO investigation.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO Alarms

to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times as described below.

They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 60 and 240 MINUTES.

*Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.

Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect average, healthy

adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy

adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in

a short period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over a long period of time. The

CO Alarm generally sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy adults.

Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a potential CO problem while you can still

react in time. In many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling

well, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to exit the building or get help.

Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any

symptoms when the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory problems, infants,

unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people can be more quickly and severely affected by

CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple

Station carbon monoxide alarms UL2034.

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL2034, Section 1-1.2: “Carbon monoxide alarms

covered by these requirements are intended to respond to the presence of carbon monoxide from

sources such as, but not limited to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal operation

of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are intended to alarm at carbon monoxide

levels below those that could cause a loss of ability to react to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide

exposure.” This CO Alarm monitors the air at the Alarm, and is designed to alarm before CO levels

become life threatening. This allows you precious time to leave the house and correct the problem.

This is only possible if Alarms are located, installed, and maintained as described in this manual.

Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges: The CO Alarm is not formulated

to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500

ppm), Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm), Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm)

and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

GENERAL LIMITATIONS OF CO ALARMS

This CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended for use in

industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) requirements for carbon monoxide detectors must be met.

CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. If children or others do not readily waken to the

sound of the CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility limitations,

make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in the event of an emergency.

CO Alarms will not work without power. This alarm requires a 9V alkaline battery to operate.

CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power systems: AC

powered CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating

this Alarm with most battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products or

square wave or “quasi sine wave” inverters will damage the Alarm. If you are not sure

about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.

This CO Alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not reach the sensor.

This CO Alarm will only sense CO at the sensor. CO may be present in other areas.

Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO reaches the CO Alarm.

For this reason, if bedroom doors are usually closed at night, we recommend you

install a CO Alarm in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.

CO Alarms may not sense CO on another level of the home. For example,

a CO Alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms, may not sense CO in the

basement. For this reason, one CO Alarm may not give adequate warning. Complete

coverage is recommended. Place CO Alarms on each level of the home.

CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards

of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, if the CO Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it may

not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic

beverages. This is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are

awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise from

traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may also prevent alert persons

from hearing the alarm horn. This CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.

CO Alarms are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a source of

carbon monoxide, this CO Alarm does not sense smoke or fire. This CO Alarm senses

CO that may be escaping unnoticed from malfunctioning furnaces, appliances, or

other sources. Early warning of fire requires the installation of smoke alarms.

CO Alarms are not a substitute for life insurance. Though these CO Alarms warn against

increasing CO levels, BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will

protect lives from CO poisoning. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

CO Alarms have a limited life. Although the CO Alarm and all of its parts have passed

many stringent tests and are designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these

parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you must test your CO Alarm weekly.

CO Alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO Alarms have limitations.

They can only detect CO that reaches their sensors. They may not give early warning to rising

CO levels if the CO is coming from a remote part of the home, away from the CO Alarm.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

PROBLEM... IT MEANS... YOU SHOULD...

The light continues to flash (RED) and the

horn “chirps” once every minute. Low battery warning. Install a new 9V alkaline battery*.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS CO ALARM

THE PARTS OF THIS ALARM FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE STEPS!

1. “OPEN HERE” tab

2. Cover hinge

3. Test/Silence button

4. Power/alarm indicator

1. Hold base firmly and pull up on cover tab marked “OPEN

HERE.” This will open the hinged cover. The cover may unsnap

from the base if it’s opened too far. This will not damage

the unit—the cover hinge snaps back into place easily.

2. Hold the CO Alarm base against the ceiling (or wall) and make a

mark at the center of each of the mounting slots with a pencil.

3. Put the unit where it won’t get covered with dust

when you drill the mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/16” (5 mm) drill bit, drill a hole through each pencil mark.

5. Insert the plastic screw anchors (in the plastic bag with screws)

into the holes. Tap the screw anchors gently with a hammer,

if necessary, until they are flush with the ceiling or wall.

6. Tighten the screws (provided) into the screw

anchors, then loosen them two turns.

7. Fit the CO Alarm over the screw heads as shown. Close cover.

8. If the CO Alarm cover does not line up the way you want

it, rotate the base and re-tighten the screws.

9. Activate the battery. With the cover open, remove and reinstall

the battery so the terminals on the battery match the terminals

on the CO Alarm. Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-.” Push the battery

in until it snaps in securely and cannot be shaken loose.

If the battery is not snapped in completely, the unit

cannot receive battery power. The CO Alarm may beep

briefly when you install the battery—this is normal.

Once the battery is installed, the red power indicator

light (behind the test button) will flash once a minute

to show you the CO Alarm is working.

10. Close the cover all the way.

11. Test the CO Alarm. See “Weekly Testing.”

INSTALLATION

Read “Where To Install CO Alarms” before starting.

Before you start installation, find the pair of self-adhesive labels included with this

CO Alarm. On each label write in the phone number of your emergency responder

(like 911) and a qualified appliance technician. Place one label near the CO Alarm, and

the other label in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds.

WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally

located outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added

protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate bedroom, and on every level of your home.

If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet (12 meters),

install a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.

This alarm can be installed on the wall or ceiling. If the alarm is to be wall mounted it is recommended

that the unit be mounted with hinge down so the words “Carbon Monoxide Alarm” is readable.

IN A MULTI-LEVEL HOME:

• Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each separate sleeping area.

• For added protection, install at least one CO Alarm on each level of the home.

• For added protection, install an additional CO Alarm at least 20 feet (6

meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

IN MOBILE HOMES:

• Install CO Alarms on inside walls ONLY. Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of mobile homes

often transfer heat and cold from outdoors. The Alarm should be located at least 152 mm (6

inches) from all exterior walls and at least 305 mm (12 inches) from supply or return vents.

WHERE CO ALARMS SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

DO NOT LOCATE THIS CO ALARM:

• In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, or in any extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of any cooking appliance.

• In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at least 10 feet (3

meters) from a bath or shower, sauna, humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher,

laundry room, utility room or other source of high humidity.

• In areas where temperature is colder than 40˚F (4.4˚C) or hotter than 100˚F

(37.8˚C). These areas include unconditioned crawl spaces, unfinished attics,

uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings, porches, and garages.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans, heat vents, air conditioners, fresh air returns,

or open windows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching the sensors.

• Outside the Mobile Home.

• In direct sunlight.

• This CO Alarm is designed for use inside a single-family home or apartment. It is

not meant to be used in common lobbies, hallways, or basements of multi-family

buildings unless working CO Alarms are also installed in each family living unit. CO

Alarms in common areas may not be heard from inside individual family living units.

• This CO Alarm alone is not a suitable substitute for complete

detection systems in places which house many people, like hotels or

dormitories, unless a CO Alarm is also placed in each unit.

• DO NOT use this CO Alarm in warehouses, industrial or commercial buildings, special-

purpose non-residential buildings, or airplanes. This CO Alarm is specifically designed for

residential use, and may not provide adequate protection in non-residential applications.

IF YOUR CO ALARM SOUNDS

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which

can kill you. In other words, when your CO Alarm sounds, you must not ignore it!

IF THE ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:

1. Operate the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down

the number of your local emergency service here:

____________________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a head count

to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away

from the open door or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the

premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps

1-3 and call a qualified appliance 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 manufacturers’ 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. Write down the number of a qualified appliance technician here:

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the alarm horn and the Red light is flashing, move everyone to a

source of fresh air. DO NOT disconnect the battery from the CO Alarm!

Alarms have various limitations. See “General Limitations of CO Alarms” for details.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURE

• The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not correct

a CO problem. Always check your home for a potential problem after

any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.

• NEVER remove the batteries from your CO Alarm to silence the horn. Use

the silence feature. Removing the batteries removes your protection! See

“If Your CO Alarm Sounds” for details on responding to an alarm.

The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm

horn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While

the alarm is silenced it will continue to monitor the air for CO.

When CO reaches alarm levels the alarm will sound— repeating horn pattern: 4

beeps, a pause, 4 beeps, etc. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until the

horn is silent. The initial Silence cycle will last approximately 4 minutes.

NOTE: After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates

present CO levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially

dangerous —or start rising higher—the horn will start sounding again.

WHILE THE DETECTOR IS SILENCED:

If the CO Alarm... This means...

Is silent for only 4 minutes, then

starts sounding loudly—4 beeps,

pause, 4 beeps, pause

CO levels are still potentially dangerous.

If the CO Alarm... This means...

Remains silent after you pressed

the Test/Silence button CO levels are dropping.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This silence feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning “chirp” for up to 8 hours.

You can silence the low battery warning “chirp” by pressing the Test/Silence button. The

horn will chirp, acknowledging that the low battery silence feature has been activated.

After 8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. Replace the battery as soon

as possible; this unit will not operate without battery power!

To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The unit will go into Test Mode

and the low battery warning will resume (LED flashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute.)

If you cannot silence the low battery warning, replace the battery immediately.
