LED INDICATION:
Red LED
Yellow LED
Green LED
REASON FOR SENSOR FAULT:
Faults can be caused by broken circuitry, a faulty sensor or faulty electronic parts. If cleaning the sensor
with a dry, soft brush does not stop the yellow light from flashing, this means the product is defective.
SENSOR FAULT CAUSED BY CHEMICAL GASES:
When volatile chemical gases such as alcohol are the cause for error detection, this may be corrected by
pulling the detector off the ceiling plate and leave it in fresh air for 24 hours. This may restore the CO
sensor. If the error is not cleared after these 24 hours, the detector is faulty and should be replaced. Don't
repair the detector yourself, but have it repaired by the importer.
When the alarm is contaminated and damaged by high concentrations of chemical gases, the sensor could
be affected. This will lead to a temporary error or permanent damage. When the alarm sounds and you
can smell a chemical gas, this could be the reason. Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless gas.
Chemical gases do have an odour.
The following substances and gases can cause false alarms or permanently damage the detector:
Methane, propane, iso-butane, ethylene, ethanol, alcohol, iso-propanol, benzene, toluene, acid, ether,
hydrogen, hepatic gas, sulphur dioxide, aerosol, propellant, alcohol preparation, paint, thinners, dissolvent,
bonding agents, shampoo, aftershave balm, perfume, car exhaust (cold start) and certain cleaning agents.
MAINTENANCE:
To keep your detector in proper working order, please follow these steps:
•
Check whether the alarm is working properly by pressing the test button every week.
•
Clean the detector with a soft cloth or brush once every month to remove excess dust.
•
Explain to children that they should not play with the detector.
Ensure children are aware of the dangers of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire.
•
•
Never use cleaning agents or other solutions to clean the detector.
•
Never use air fresheners, hairspray or other aerosols near the detector.
•
Don't paint the detector. Paint covers the vents preventing the sensor from detecting CO or smoke.
•
Never disassemble, repair or modify the product yourself; there's a high risk that it will no longer
function correctly or reliably.
3x every 1,5 seconds with alarm; Smoke detected
4x every 5 seconds with alarm; Carbon monoxide detected
Every 40 seconds; Sensor problem. If cleaning with a soft, dry brush
will not resolve this, it means the sensor is defective.
2x every 40 seconds with beep: Battery almost empty.
The product needs to be replaced soon (Press the "TEST/SILENCE" button
during the beep to silence this alert tone for about 9 hours
Normal functioning, flashes every 40 seconds
