9. Test the detector to insure it is fully functional. (See Testing section)
10. Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.
1.Press and release the test switch once as described in Testing above. The blue
LED will start blinking rapidly indicating it is RealTest® mode. If the detector
will not go into RealTest® mode, the CO sensor may be in fault or at end-of-life.
2.While the blue LED is blinking, spray a small amount of canned CO directly into the CO gas entry ports from ¼” away. (See Figure 5)
3.The detector will go into alarm if the gas entry was successful and the
cell is functioning properly.
4.The CO test will automatically clear when the CO clears or in 30 seconds
if no CO was introduced.
NOTE: Testing the detector will activate the alarm and send a signal to the panel.
Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
This detector is NOT:
FIGURE 6: REMOVING/REPLACING SCREEN/SENSING CHAMBER
• A substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning appliances or the
sweeping of chimneys.
• 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.
Do not paint, and do not use cleaning agents, bleach or polish the detector.
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.
Concentration (ppm CO)
Symptoms
200
Mild Headache after 2-3 hours of exposure
400
Headache and nausea after 1-2 hours of exposure
800
Headache, nausea, and dizziness after 45 minutes of exposure; collapse and unconsciousness after 2 hours of exposure
Limited Life of CO Sensor
This detector is manufactured with a long-life carbon monoxide sensor. Over
time the sensor will lose sensitivity, and will need to be replaced. A replacement CO sensor, model #CO-REPL, is available. The life span of the CO sensor
is approximately six years from the date of manufacture.
Periodically check the detector’s replacement date. Remove the detector head
and refer to the sticker placed on the replaceable CO cell.. The sticker will
indicate the date the CO cell should be replaced.
Reminder: T
his detector is also equipped with a feature that will signal the
panel once the CO sensor has passed the end of its’ useful life. If
this occurs, it is time to replace the CO sensor.
Replacement of CO Sensor
1. Remove the detector head by turning counterclockwise.
2.
Locate the CO sensor on the back side of the detector head.
(Refer to Figure 7)
3. Depress the 2 tabs on the CO sensor and pull it out.
4. Insert replacement CO sensor model CO-REPL.
5.Reattach the detector head to the base by applying light pressure and
rotating clockwise. The detector will lock in place when properly aligned.
6. Test the detector to insure it is fully functional. (See Testing section)
7. Notify the proper authorities when the system is back in service.
NOTE: Before replacing the sensor or 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. Follow the proper testing protocol as
outlined in the Testing section to make sure the device is functioning
properly. Dispose of detector in accordance with any local regulations.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware that they do not feel well, they become so disoriented that they
are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also young children and pets may be the first to be affected.
CO ALARM ACTIVATION
Per UL standard 2075, the i4 series detector has been tested to the sensitivity
limits defined in UL standard 2034.
