Model

CO5120PDB

120VAC 60 Hz 0.09A

FEATURES

This CO Alarm is designed to be hard-wired and

mounted on any standard size junction box, up to 4”

size. 120V AC power to the junction box must not be

controlled by a dimmer or switch (other than a circuit

breaker.)

This CO Alarm samples the air and takes a new read-

ing about every second. A microchip inside the unit

stores each reading, and remembers the levels of CO

it has been exposed to over time. The unit goes into

alarm mode when it has been exposed to a “critical”

level of CO (measured in parts per million or “ppm”)

within a specified time (measured in minutes).

General features: This Alarm features a permanently

installed sensor, a red indicator light (LED), and an

85 dB alarm horn.

9V Battery Back-Up. If AC power is interrupted,

the CO Alarm will continue to operate for a short

time, provided the 9V battery is fresh and correctly

installed.

Silence Feature. The Silence feature temporarily

quiets the alarm.

Low Battery Silence Feature. Temporarily silences

the Low Battery Warning “chirp”for up to 8 hours if

AC power is present.

Digital Display. Shows levels of CO, measured in

parts per million present and any stored peak levels.

Malfunction Warning. This unit performs

self-diagnostic tests approximately every second.

If the alarm malfunctions, it should be replaced

immediately.

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to impor-

tant operating instructions or to potentially hazardous

situations. Pay special attention to these items.

THIS IS NOT A SMOKE ALARM! This CO Alarm is

designed to detect carbon monoxide from ANY

source of combustion. It is NOT designed to

detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.

This CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family

residences. It is NOT designed for marine or RV use.

This CO Alarm will only indicate the presence of

carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon

monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

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.

This unit does not work without power. If the AC

power fails, the battery back-up will power the

alarm for at least 20 hours provided the 9V battery

is fresh and correctly installed.

Basic safety information (continued)...

NEVER ignore any alarm. Refer to Chapter 3 for

more information on how to respond to an alarm.

Failure to respond can result in injury or death.

Test this Carbon Monoxide Alarm once a week. If

it ever fails to test correctly, have it replaced

immediately! If the alarm is not working properly, it

cannot alert you to a problem.

Do not paint over the CO Alarm. Paint may clog

the openings to the sensing chamber and prevent

the sensors from operating properly.

This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor

locations of family living units. It is not designed to

measure CO levels in compliance with

Occupational Safety and Health Administration

(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.

Individuals with medical conditions may consider

using warning devices which provide audible and

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.

Required Alarm Levels: Before 10% COHb exposure

at levels of 30% to 70% Relative Humidity (RH):

•400 ppm CO between 4 and 15 minutes

•150 ppm CO between 10 and 50 minutes

•70 ppm CO between 60 and 240 minutes

When exposed to a constant level of 30 ppm of CO,

this CO Alarm was tested not to go into alarm for at

least 30 days.

Audible Alarm: 85dB minimum at 10 feet.

Power: Powered by 120VAC. The 9V battery back-up

provides 8 hours of standby and sounds alarm for 12

hours with fresh battery. When AC power is on, red

light (LED) shines continuously. Under battery power,

red light flashes once a minute.

Malfunction: Horn chirps and light blinks 3 times (in

rapid succession) every minute and digital display

shows “Err”.

Dimensions: 5.4”diameter (approx.)

Supply Voltage: 120VAC 60Hz, 0.09A.

During Alarm: Repeating alarm horn pattern:

4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps, pause.

•Stand-alone unit: red light (LED) flashes once

per second.

•Interconnected series: red light (LED) flashes

once per second on the Initiating alarm. The

red light (LED) on all other alarms will shine

continuously.

Warranty: 5-year limited warranty.

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,

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.

CO ALARM SPECIFICATIONS

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION

WHERE TO INSTALL CO ALARMS

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) rec-

ommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally locat-

ed outside of each separate sleeping area in the

immediate vicinity of the bedrooms. For added pro-

tection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate

bedroom, and on every level of your home.

If your bedroom hallway is longer than 40 feet, install

a CO Alarm at BOTH ends of the hallway.

IN A SINGLE-LEVEL HOME:

•Install at least one CO Alarm near or within each

separate sleeping area.

•For added protection, install an additional CO

Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters), where possible*,

away from the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

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. If you have a

basement, install that CO Alarm at the top of the

basement stairs.

•For added protection, install an additional CO

Alarm at least 20 feet (6 meters), where possi-

ble*, away from the furnace or fuel burning

heat source.

(*)In smaller homes or in manufactured homes and

RV’s where this distance cannot be maintained, install

the Alarm as far away from the furnace or other fuel

burning source. Installing the Alarm closer than 20

feet (6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may

increase the frequency of nuisance alarms.

This Alarm must have AC or battery power to

operate. If the AC power fails, the battery back-up

will power the Alarm for a short time if the 9V

battery is fresh and correctly installed. If AC power

fails, and the battery is dead or missing, the Alarm

cannot operate.

REQUIRED TO MEET NFPA RECOMMENDATIONS

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

DO NOT locate this CO Alarm:

•In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, crawl spaces

and unfinished attics. Avoid extremely dusty, dirty

or greasy areas.

•The CO Alarm should be at least 5 feet (2 meters),

preferably 20 feet (6 meters) from sources of

combustion particles such as stoves, furnaces,

and vehicles.

•Avoid poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and

furnace rooms.

•In extremely humid areas. This alarm should be at

least 10 feet (3 meters) from a shower, sauna,

humidifier, vaporizer, dishwasher, laundry room,

utility room, or other source of high humidity.

•Where the temperatures are regularly below 40˚F

(4˚C) or above 100˚F (38˚C) including unheated

buildings, outdoor rooms, porches, or unfinished

attics or basements. Extreme temperatures may

shorten component or battery life.

•In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open win-

dows. Blowing air may prevent CO from reaching

the sensors.

•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, RVs, boats, or

airplanes. This CO Alarm is specifically designed

for residential use, and may not provide adequate

protection in non-residential applications.

THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT LOCK:

TO LOCK THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT

Do not lock the battery compartment until you have

activated the battery and tested the battery back-up.

1. Activate the battery back-

up by removing the “Pull

to Activate Battery Back-

Up”tab. Push and hold

the test button on the CO

Alarm’s cover until the

alarm sounds: 4 beeps,

pause, 4 beeps, pause.

If the unit does not alarm during testing, DO

NOT lock the battery compartment! Install a

new battery and test again. If it still does not

alarm, replace the CO Alarm immediately.

2. Using needle-nose

pliers or a utility knife,

detach one locking

pin from the mount-

ing bracket.

Continued on next page...

The optional locking features are designed to pre-

vent unauthorized removal of the battery or alarm.

It is not necessary to activate the locks in single-

family households where unauthorized battery or

alarm removal is not a concern.

These CO Alarms have two separate locking features:

one locks the battery compartment, and the other

locks the CO Alarm to the mounting bracket. You can

choose to use either feature independently, or use

them both.

Tools you will need: •Needle-nose pliers

•Standard/Flathead screwdriver.

Both locking features use locking pins, molded into

the mounting bracket. Using needle nose pliers or a

utility knife, remove one or both pins, depending on

which locking features you use.
