CHAPTER 1:

Introduction

BASIC FEATURES

• Separate sensor and alarm to detect

smoke and CO. The two alarm systems

work independently.

• Powered by a single 9V alkaline or

lithium battery

• Flip-open battery door for easy battery

replacement

• Large, easy-to-use Test/Silence button

• Colored lights indicate battery status and

service needed.

The CO Alarm

The Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm measures

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 in your stove or water

heater).

• Features Solid-state Infrared Reservoir

(SIR) Sensor System

• “CO” alarm light ﬂashes when

CO alarm is triggered

• Silence feature quiets alarm horn while

you take corrective action

The Smoke Alarm

The Smoke Alarm monitors the air for the

presence of combustion particles (produced

when something burns). When enough

combustion particles reach the smoke sensing

chamber, it triggers an alarm.

• Ionization Technology

• “SMOKE” alarm light ﬂashes when

smoke alarm is triggered

• Silence feature quiets alarm horn in

response to unwanted alarms like those

caused by cooking smoke

BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT!

Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions alert you to

important operating instructions or to

potentially hazardous situations. Pay special

attention to these items.

CAUTION!

This combination Smoke and Carbon

Monoxide Alarm has two separate alarms.

The CO alarm is not designed to detect ﬁre

or any other gas. It will only indicate the

presence of carbon monoxide gas at the

sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be

present in other areas. The Smoke Alarm will

only indicate the presence of smoke that

reaches the sensor. The smoke alarm will

not sense gas, heat or ﬂames.

IMPORTANT!

This smoke/CO alarm is approved for use in

single-family residences. It is NOT designed for

marine or RV use.

IMPORTANT!

This device is not intended to alert hearing

impaired residents. Smoke alarms speciﬁcally

designed for the hearing impaired, which feature

devices like ﬂashing strobe lights, are available

to alert the hearing impaired in case of ﬁre.

WARNING!

This smoke/CO alarm cannot operate

without a working battery. Removing the

battery for any reason, or failing to replace

the battery at the end of its service life,

removes your protection.

WARNING!

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.

WARNING!

The silence feature is for your convenience

only and will not correct a problem. See

Chapter 3 for details on using the silence

feature.

WARNING!

Test this smoke/CO 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.

CAUTION!

Do not paint over the smoke/CO alarm. Paint

may clog the openings to the sensing

chamber and prevent the sensors from

operating properly.

ALARM SPECIFICATIONS

down. Red “SMOKE” indicator ﬂashes rapidly.

Standards:

Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Single and Multiple Station Smoke Alarms

UL217.

The Carbon Monoxide Alarm

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 (ppm).

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

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed

to a constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.

During Alarm:

Repeating Horn Pattern: horn

sounds 4 times, then pauses, then sounds four

times, then pauses, until silence button is

pressed, CO dissipates, or battery runs down.

Red “CO” indicator light ﬂashes rapidly.

Standards:

Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

Single and Multiple Station Carbon Monoxide

Alarms UL2034.

The Carbon Monoxide Alarm (continued)

According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc.

UL2034, Section 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. Carbon monoxide 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.

This CO alarm is designed to alert you to

a potentially dangerous build-up of CO over

time. It cannot ﬁx a CO problem, and it

cannot identify a speciﬁc source of CO.

The company shall not be obligated to pay

for any carbon monoxide investigation or

service call conducted by a Fire Department,

or licensed investigator or repairman,

arranged by the homeowner in response to

an alarm.

WARNING!

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

visual signals for carbon monoxide

concentrations under 30 ppm.

CHAPTER 2:

Installation

WHERE TO INSTALL

THIS ALARM

Minimum coverage for smoke alarms, as

recommended by the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA), is one smoke alarm on

every ﬂoor, in every sleeping area, and in every

bedroom (See Chapter 8 for details on the

NFPA recommendations).

The Consumer Product Safety Commission

(CPSC) recommends the use of at least one

CO alarm per household, located near the

sleeping area.

OTE:

For added protection, install an additional

CO alarm at least 15 feet (5 meters) away from

the furnace or fuel burning heat source.

In general, install combination

Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms:

• On every level of your home, including

ﬁnished attics and basements.

• Inside every bedroom, especially if

people sleep with the door partly or

completely closed.

• In the hall near every sleeping area. If

your home has multiple sleeping areas,

install a unit in each. If a hall is more than

40 feet (12 meters) long, install a unit at

each end.

• At the top of ﬁrst-to-second ﬂoor stairs.

• At the bottom of the basement stairs.

• For additional coverage, install alarms in

all rooms, halls, and storage areas, where

temperatures normally remain between

40˚F and 100˚F (4˚C and 38˚C).

In a Mobile Home:

• Install alarms on inside walls ONLY!

Uninsulated outside walls and roofs of

mobile homes often transfer heat and

cold from outdoors.

Recommended Placement

• When installing on the wall, the smoke

alarm should be placed between 4 inches

(102 mm) and 12 inches (305 mm) from

the wall/ceiling line.

• When installing on the ceiling, place the

alarm as close to the center as possible.

• In either case, install at least 4 inches

(102 mm) from where the wall and ceiling

meet. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”

on page 7 for more information.

OTE:

For any location, make sure no door or other

obstruction could keep carbon monoxide or

smoke from reaching the alarm.

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL

THIS ALARM

Do NOT locate this smoke/CO alarm:

• In garages, kitchens, furnace rooms, crawl

spaces and unﬁnished attics. Avoid

extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Closer than 20 feet (6 meters) from a fur-

nace or other fuel burning heat source, or

fuel burning appliances like a water heater.

• Where combustion particles (formed when

something burns) are produced. Avoid

poorly ventilated kitchens, garages, and

furnace rooms. Keep this smoke/CO alarm

at least 20 feet (6 meters) from sources of

combustion particles (stove, vehicle,

furnace) whenever possible.

• Within 5 feet of any cooking appliance.

In air streams near kitchens. Air currents

can draw cooking smoke into the smoke

sensor and cause unwanted alarms.

• 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.

• In direct sunlight.

• In turbulent air, like near ceiling fans or open

windows. Blowing air may prevent CO or

smoke from reaching the sensors.

Continued on next page...

Do NOT locate this smoke/CO alarm:

• 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 insect infested areas. Insects can clog

the openings to the sensing chamber.

• Less than 12 inches (305 mm) away from

ﬂuorescent lights. Electrical “noise” can

interfere with the sensor.

Avoiding Dead Air Spaces

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from

reaching the smoke alarm. To avoid dead air

spaces, follow installation recommendations:

On ceilings,

install smoke alarms as close to

the center of the ceiling as possible. If this is

not possible, install the smoke alarm at least 4

inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling,

install

the ﬁrst smoke alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters)

of the peak of the ceiling, measured

horizontally. Additional smoke alarms may be

required depending on the length, angle, etc. of

the ceiling's slope. Refer to NFPA 72 for details

on requirements for sloped or peaked ceilings.

For wall mounting

(if allowed by building

codes), the smoke alarm should be placed

between 4 inches (102 mm) and

12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line,

below typical “dead air” spaces.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS ALARM

IMPORTANT!

This combination smoke/CO alarm was

designed to be mounted on the ceiling or

wall. It is not a tabletop device.

You must

install this device on the ceiling or wall as

outlined below. Read “Where To Install This

Alarm” before starting. Tools you will need:

pencil, drill with 3/16” or 5mm drill bit, ﬂathead

screwdriver, hammer.

Before you start installation,

ﬁnd the pair of

self-adhesive labels included with this 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

Alarm, and the other label in the “fresh air” location

you plan to go if the alarm sounds.

OTE:

A qualiﬁed appliance technician is deﬁned as “a

person, ﬁrm, corporation, or company that either

in person or through a representative, is engaged

in and responsible for the installation, testing,

servicing, or replacement of heating, ventilation

and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment,

combustion appliances and equipment, and/or

gas ﬁreplaces or other decorative combustion

equipment.”

Do not connect this unit to any other alarm

or auxiliary device. It is a single-station unit

that cannot be linked to other devices.

Connecting anything else to this unit may

prevent it from working properly.

CAUTION!

Do not install this unit over an electrical

junction box. Air currents around junction

boxes can prevent smoke from reaching the

sensing chamber and prevent the unit from

alarming. Only AC powered units are

intended for installation over junction boxes.

1. Hold base ﬁrmly and twist the mounting

bracket counterclockwise (left) to separate it

from the unit.

2. Hold the mounting

bracket against the
