1. IMPOR T ANT INFORMA TION W ARNING: The Alar m should be per manently wired to the mains b y a qualified electr ician in accordance with IEE wiring regulations (BS7671). Install a Carbon Mono xide (CO) Alar m in e v er y room that contains a fuel burning appliance, par ticular ly rooms where people spend a lot of time e.g. bedrooms , kitchens and[...]

WHA T T O DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS: (1) Open the doors and windows to v entilate the area. (2) T ur n off all fuel appliances where possib le. (The alar m can be silenced immediately b y pushing the T est/Hush button). (3) Ev acuate the proper ty lea ving the doors and windows open. (4) Get medical help immediately f or any one suff ering the eff e[...]

The CO Alar m is no substitute f or k eeping chimneys and flues clear and in good condition, and all of y our appliances ser viced regular ly according to the manuf acturer’ s instructions. Do not fit alar m until all b uilding work is completed to av oid contamination. 2. CARBON MONO XIDE - THE SILENT KILLER 2.1 WHA T IS CARBON MONO XIDE ? Congr[...]

A low le vel f or a long period (e.g. 150 ppm f or 90 min utes) can cause the same symptoms (a slight headache) as a high le v el of CO f or a shor t period (e.g. 350 ppm CO f or 30 minutes). T able A sho ws how e xposure to diff erent concentrations of CO gener ally aff ects people. Many cases of repor ted Carbon Mono xide poisoning indicate that [...]

2.3 WHA T HAPPENS WHEN Y OUR 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 and then sounds a loud alar m if the CO persists. The digital displa y (Model Ei261DENRC only) indicates the CO le v el in par ts per million (ppm) CO . T ab le B below shows ho w the CO 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 le v el would need to be at 50ppm CO f or 90 minutes f or the horn to sound). Note the Pre-Alar m signal ma y be tr iggered b y C[...]

3. ALARM POSITIONING 3.1 IDEALL Y A CARBON MONO XIDE (CO) ALARM SHOULD BE INST ALLED IN: - Ev er y room containing a fuel burning appliance - Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerab le amount of time - Ev er y bedroom How e v er if the number of CO Alar ms is limited, the f ollowing points should be considered when deciding where best to fi[...]

15 4. INST ALLA TION The Alar m is designed to be per manently mounted, using its own b uilt-in ter minal b lock to connect it to the mains wiring. The mounting plate can be scre wed directly to the ceiling/wall. Alter nativ ely it can be scre wed to a standard junction bo x (BS 4662 single gang accessor y bo x). The alar m requires a current of 60[...]

The Alar m must not be connected when the house wiring insulation is being check ed with high V oltages i.e. do not use an insulation tester on the alar m. Do not use the CO Alar m on an inter mittent basis, or as a por tab le detector f or the spillage of comb ustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys . Mains operated Alarms should [...]

W e strongly recommend that y ou check f or the f ollo wing before connecting the alarm : • chec k f or Live and Neutr al using a two probe tester . • chec k f or Live using a neon tester . • chec k that the Interconnect wire is NO T connected to Liv e, Neutr al or Ear th. Do not use an Ear th wire f or the Interconnect line. Note : The Alar [...]

11. Connect the mains pow er to the alar m circuit. Check the g reen light is on. The CO Alar m is now fully oper ational and will provide protection against a b uild up of Carbon Mono xide gas 70 seconds after it is connected to the mains supply . 12. The unit ma y be tamper proof ed fur ther b y removing the knoc kout in the side w all of the mou[...]

4.1 INTERCONNECTING With interconnected alar ms, when one unit detects CO all units alarm. All hor ns will sound but only units detecting CO will flash their red lights. A maximum of tw elve Ei261ENRC/261DENRC CO Alarms may be interconnected along with an Ei128RBU & Ei128CO V rela y module (see “A CCESSORIES” on page 32). Alter nativ ely , [...]

A maximum of 250 metres (820 ft) of wire can be used (maxim um resistance between detectors 50 Ohms). Connect as shown in Figure 7 . Alar ms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single f amily living unit. If they are connected between diff erent units there ma y be e xcessiv e nuisance alarms. Ev er ybody may not be a ware that t[...]

HO W T O DISCONNECT AND REMO VE THE ALARM: (1) Disconnect the mains supply to the CO Alar m circuit at the distribution/fuse board. (2) Remov e tamper proofing scre w if fitted (see Figure 1 ). (3) Release catch (as shown in Figure 1 ) and slide unit off mounting plate . SENSOR MODULE REPLA CEMENT Replace the sensor module after 5 year s operation [...]

Note: When the second sensor has completed its 5 y ears of operation the amber light will flash e v er y 40 seconds. The sensor module can only be replaced once. The entire unit must be replaced after 10 y ears . The date f or replacing the entire unit is giv en on the ‘REPLA CE UNIT BY’ label on the alar m. 8. LIMIT A TIONS OF CO ALARMS - The [...]

- CO Alar ms are not suitab le as ear ly warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide , but the response characteristics of these CO Alar ms are such that they w ould not giv e sufficient war ning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to giv e ear ly w ar ning of fire. - This CO Alar m does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane[...]

- These appliances must “breathe in” air to bur n the fuel properly . Know where the air comes from and ensure v ents/air br ic ks etc. remain unobstructed (par ticular ly after building w ork). - The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimne y . Ensure chimne ys and flues are[...]
