Installation Guidelines Ceiling: Detector should be at least 12 inches from any wall. Wall: Detector should be at least as high as a light switch, and at least six inches from the ceiling. • D o not install in any environment that does not comply with the detector’s environmental specifications Proper wire gauges should be used. The conductors used to connect carbon monoxide detectors to the alarm control panel and accessory devices should be color-coded to reduce the likelihood of wiring errors. Improper connections can prevent a system from responding properly in the event of a CO. • Install in accordance with NFPA 720–the Standard for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning Equipment • As of 2009, NFPA 720 defines standards for both commercial and residential installations of CO detectors. If the installation can be interpreted as a commercial application, consult the section of NFPA 720 that outlines commercial applications. The screw terminals in the mounting base will accept 14-22 gauge wire. Wire connections are made by stripping approximately 1⁄4˝ of insulation from the end of the feed wire, inserting it into the proper base terminal, and tightening the screw to secure the wire in place. Do not put wires more than 2 gauge apart under the same clamping plate. • For example, Chapter 5.5.5.3.1 states that carbon monoxide detectors shall be installed in accordance with manufacturers published instructions in the following locations: WARNING: This product does not have a local audible trouble signal, and may fail without supervision if trouble loop remains unconnected. WARNING: Gas detectors on a zone that is bypassed may not signal a trouble condition. Do not bypass zones used for gas detectors. Wiring diagrams located on page 4, Figure 4. (1) On the ceiling in the same room as permanently installed fuel burning appliances (2) Centrally located on every habitable level and in every HVAC zone of the building • If the installation can be interpreted as residential, consult the section of NFPA 720 that outlines residential applications. WARNING Remove power from alarm control unit or initiating device circuits before installing detectors. • For example, chapter 9.4.1.1 states that carbon monoxide alarms or detectors shall be installed as follows: 1. Using a small, flat head screw driver, push in the small tab located on the underside of the detector. Once the snap is loosened, lift the bottom end of the cover up and unhinge the top to remove the cover. 2. Wire the detector base screw terminals per Figure 5. 3.Screw the base of the detector onto a single gang electrical box, or to the surface of the wall or ceiling.

A canned CO testing agent may be used to verify the detector’s ability to sense CO by utilizing the RealTest™ feature of the CO1224T/CO1224TR as follows: What to do if the carbon monoxide detector goes into alarm: 1.Press the test button as described in Testing above. Release the test button after the sounder beeps and the LED’s light up. 2.The detector will enter the speed-up test mode, indicated by a quick flashing green LED. 3.Within 20 seconds, apply a UL approved CO agent within 1/4” of the detector’s gas entry ports (see Figure 3). The detector will quickly go into alarm if gas entry is successful. 4.The detector will automatically exit the speed-up test mode 20-60 seconds after entering speed-up test mode. Testing the detector will activate the alarm relay and send a signal to the panel. IMPORTANT: This detector should be tested and maintained regularly following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 720 requirements. Immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available, preferably outdoors. Find a phone in an area where the air is safe and call your security service provider. Tell your provider the detector alarm status, and that you require professional assistance in ridding your home of the carbon monoxide. Maintenance Occasionally clean the outside casing with a cloth. Ensure that the holes on the front of the alarm are not blocked with dirt and dust. Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach, or polish on the detector. Detector Replacement This detector is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide sensor. Over time the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be replaced with a new System Sensor carbon monoxide detector. This detector’s lifespan is approximately six years from the date of manufacture. CAUTION: This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not open or tamper with the detector as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly wired. The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Periodically check the detector’s replacement date. Remove the detector cover and refer to the sticker placed on the inside of the detector. The sticker will indicate the date that the detector shall be replaced. This carbon monoxide detector is NOT: This detector is also equipped with a feature that will open the trouble relay once it has reached the end of its useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace the detector. • Designed to detect smoke, fire or any gas other than carbon monoxide • To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning appliances or the sweeping of chimneys. NOTE: Before replacing the detector, notify the proper authorities that maintenance is being performed and the system will be temporarily out of service. Disable the zone or system undergoing maintenance to prevent any unwanted alarms. Dispose of detector in accordance with any local regulations. • To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable alarm for the spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning appliances or chimneys. Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels are burnt. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impossible to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions in a room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by appliances should not be dangerous. Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: Carbon monoxide bonds to the hemoglobin in the blood and reduces the amount of oxygen being circulated in the body. The following symptoms are examples taken from NFPA 720. They represent approximate values for healthy adults: SS-500-000 3 I56-3111-006 Figure 5.
