1. READ THIS FIRST P o wer up the unit by smoothly withdr awing the red “pull” tab at the top left hand cor ner of the unit. If the batteries are supplied separately install the three AA batteries by sliding the upper cov er off as shown in figure 5a page 15. The green, red & amber lights will immediately flash in sequence to show the y are[...]

When the CO Alar m detects abnormal lev els of CO (abov e 50ppm CO) the red light star ts to flash immediately and the hor n will sound within 90 minutes . At higher le vels of CO the alarm will tur n on sooner (see table B - page 8). The CO Alar m will automatically reset once the CO has cleared. Pressing the test/hush button resets the CO Alarm i[...]

(5) Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency n umber . K eep the number in a prominent place . (6) Do not re-enter the proper ty until the alar m has stopped. (If the alarm has been silenced by pressing the test/hush b utton, wait at least 5 min utes so the alar m can check that the CO has cleared). (7) Do not use the fuel appliances[...]

High levels of CO in a house can be caused b y: • Incorrectly or poorly installed fuel-burning appliances. • Block ed or crac ked chimne ys/flues. • Block ed v ents or draught-proofing which makes areas with fuel b urning appliances or fireplaces air tight. • Engines of cars, la wnmowers etc. left r unning in confined spaces. • P or tab l[...]

Many cases of repor ted Carbon Mono xide poisoning indicate that while victims are aw are they are not w ell, they become so disorientated that they are unab le to sav e themselv es by either lea ving the building or calling f or assistance. Y oung children and household pets ma y be the first affected. T able A: Effects of Carbon Mono xide P oison[...]

3.3 What happens when your CO Alarm detects Carbon Mono xide ? When the Alar m detects potentally dangerous le v els of CO , it flashes the red alar m light immediately and then sounds a loud alar m if the CO persists. T ab le B belo w shows how the CO Alarm reacts to different le v els of CO gas and e xposure time. At higher le vels of CO the alar[...]

NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM. Pre-Alarm: When the alar m detects ov er 50ppm CO the red light flashes e v er y 2 seconds. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit giv es an indication straight a wa y . (Without this f eature the CO lev el would need to be at 50ppm CO f or 90 minutes f or an indication to be giv en). Note the Pre-Alar m signal may be trigge[...]

Reset Memory by holding do wn the test button f or ov er 20 seconds until the red light stops flashing. Cov er the hor n with a cloth to muffle the alarm dur ing this time. Please note that the memor y will also be reset when the unit is unpow ered. 4. WHERE T O PLA CE CO ALARMS 4.1 Ideally a Carbon Mono xide Alar m should be installed in: - Ev er [...]

4.2 Unsuitable Locations Do not place the CO Alar m in any of the f ollo wing areas. (1) In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance (keep it at least 1 metre horizontally from it). (2) Outside the building. (3) In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a cupboard). (4) In a damp or humid area. (5) Directly abov e a sink or cooker . (6) Ne xt to [...]

4.31 If locating the CO alarm in a room with a fuel b urning appliance (see figure 2) • If it is mounted on a wall, it should be located at a height g reater than the height of any door or windo w but still be at least 150mm from the ceiling. • If it is mounted on the ceiling it should be at least 300mm from any w all or light fitting. • The [...]

5. INST ALLA TION W ARNING: Do not use the CO Alarm on an inter mittent basis, or as a portable detec- tor f or the spillage of combustion products from fuel b ur ning appliances or chimneys . 5.1 INST ALLA TION PROCEDURE Once you ha v e selected a suitable location, po wer up the unit by smoothly withdra wing the red “PULL ” tab at the top lef[...]

Mark the position of the two mounting holes by using the unit as a template. Drill two holes using a 6mm drill for the plastic plugs supplied, (ensure y ou don’t drill into the house wir ing). Scre w the unit to the wall. Check that the CO Alarm can be heard in all the bedrooms. If not another CO Alar m should be located nearer the bedrooms. 5.2 [...]

( Note: The Ei205EN, Ei205ENA & Ei205CEN are supplied with 2 locking riv ets. Inser t the other locking riv et similarly after removing the other post). 5.3 INTERCONNECTING (Model Ei205CEN only) Up to 12 Ei 205CEN Carbon Mono xide Alar ms can be interconnected so that when one senses CO , all alarm. This helps to ensure that the alarm will be h[...]

1. Slide off the batter y cov er as shown in Figure 5a. 2. On the first unit connect twin core cable to the terminals marked 1 and 2 as shown in Figure 8 and bring the cable out through the hole abov e the terminal bloc k. 3. If they are being surf ace wired, break one of the three knock outs on the rear side wall. (W e do not recommend bringing th[...]

It will also help you and your f amily to become f amiliar with the sound of the alar m. Press and hold the test button until the alarm sounds (it ma y take up to 5 second[...]

(The batteries will usually last ov er 4 years in standb y under nor mal conditions. An undepleted batter y can pow er a unit in alar m f or ov er 100 hours. The lif e will be reduced if the unit regularly goes into alar m or if it is exposed to e xcessiv e temperatures f or long periods). Amber Fault Indicator If the unit beeps and the amber light[...]

How to distinguish between CO Alarm and Smoke Alarm warnings The CO Alar m has a distinctiv e on-off sound of 3 pulses, f ollow ed by a pause as compared with a typical Smoke Alarm which has a rapid pulsing sound. In addition, when your CO Alarm detects CO the red light will be flashing. T esting both your CO Alarm and Smoke Alarms weekly will help[...]

End of Life When the unit has completed up to 6 years of oper ation the amber light will flash ev ery 40 seconds. The entire unit must then be replaced. It must also be replaced when the date on the “Replace Unit by” label on the side wall is e xceeded. When the batter y is depleted the unit will beep e very 45 seconds when the green light flas[...]

(2) Carbon Mono xide must enter the unit f or it to be detected. There ma y be Carbon Mono xide in other areas of the house (e.g. downstairs, in a closed room etc). b ut not in the vicinity of the CO Alar m. Doors, air draughts and obstructions can pre vent the CO reaching the Alar m. For these reasons w e recommend. CO Alar ms are fitted both near[...]

Carbon Mono xide, b ut the response characteristics of these CO Alar ms are such that they w ould not give sufficient w ar ning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to give early warning of fire. The CO Alar m does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), bottled gas (propane, b utane) or other combustib le gases. Fit combustion gas alarms[...]

If any of these signs are present get the appliance chec ked out b y an e xper t bef ore fur ther use. If family members are ill get medical help . (2) Choose all appliances and v ehicles which burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas , paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. with care and hav e them prof essionally installed [...]

(9) Leaving windo ws or doors slightly open (e ven a f e w inches) will significantly reduce the risk of high lev els of CO occurring. The high le vels of dr aught-proofing in moder n houses reduces v entilation and can allow dangerous gases to b uild up . (10) Install CO Alar ms in all the areas recommended in this leaflet. (11) Recognise that CO [...]
