SMOKE & CARBON

MONOXIDE ALARM

All First Alert®Smoke Alarms conform to regulatory requirements,

including UL217 and are designed to detect particles of combustion.

Smoke particles of varying number and size are produced in all

fires.

Ionization technology is generally more sensitive than photoelectric

technology at detecting small particles, which tend to be produced

in greater amounts by flaming fires, which consume combustible

materials rapidly and spread quickly. Sources of these fires may include

paper burning in a wastebasket, or a grease fire in the kitchen.

Photoelectric technology is generally more sensitive than ionization

technology at detecting large particles, which tend to be produced

in greater amounts by smoldering fires, which may smolder for

hours before bursting into flame. Sources of these fires may include

cigarettes burning in couches or bedding.

For maximum protection, use both types of Smoke Alarms on each

level and in every bedroom of your home.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off the power to the area

where the Smoke Alar is installed beform e removing it from the

mounting bracket. Failure to turn off the power first may result in

serious electrical shock, injury or death.

• This unit will not aler hearing impaired rt esidents.

It is recommended that you install special units which use

devices like flashing strobe lights to alert hearing impaired

residents.

• Installation of this unit must conform to the electrical codes

in your area; Articles 210 and 300.3 (B) of NFPA 70 (NEC),

NFPA 72, NFPA 101; SBC (SBCCI); UBC (ICBO); NBC (BOCA);

OTFDC (CABO), and any other local or building codes that

may apply. Wiring and installation must be performed by a

licensed electrician. Failur to follow these guidelines maye

result in injury or property damage.

• This unit must be powered by a 24-hour, 120VAC pure sine

wave 60Hz circuit. Be sure the circuit cannot be turned

off by a switch, dimmer, or ground fault circuit interrupter.

Failure to connect this unit to a 24-hour circuit may

prevent it from providing constant protection.

• This Alarm must have AC or batter power to operate.y

If the AC power fails, batter back-up will allow the alarmy

to sound for at least 4 minutes. If AC power fails and the

battery is weak, protection should last for at least 7 days.

If AC power fails and the battery is dead or missing, the

alarm cannot operate.

• Never disconnect the power from an AC powered unit to

stop an unwanted alarm. Doing so will disable the unit and

remove your protection. In the case of a true unwanted

alarm open a window or fan the smoke away from the unit.

The alarm will reset automatically when it returns to normal

operation. Never remove the batteries from a battery

operated unit to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking

smoke, etc.). Instead open a window or fan the smoke

away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• Connect this unit ONLY to other compatible units. See

“How To Install This Smoke Alarm” for details. Do not

connect it to any other type of alarm or auxiliary device.

Connecting anything else to this unit may damage it or

prevent it from operating properly.

• This Smoke/CO Alarm has a battery drawer which resists

closing unless a battery is installed. This warns you the

unit will not operate under DC power without a battery.

• Do not stand too close to the unit when the alarm is

sounding. It is loud to wake you in an emergency. Exposure

to the horn at close range may harm your hearing.

• Do not paint over the unit. Paint may clog the openings to

the sensing chambers and prevent the unit from operating

properly.

HOW TO INSTALL THIS SMOKE/CO ALARM

THE PARTS OF THIS ALARM

This Smoke/CO Alarm is designed to be mounted on any standard wiring junction box up to a 4-inch (10 cm) size, on either the ceiling or wall (if allowed

by local codes). Read “Where to Install This Alarm” and “Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed” before you begin installation.

Tools you will need: • Needle-nose pliers or utility knife Standard flathead screwdriver Wire strippers.• •

Make sure the Alarm is not receiving excessively noisy power. Examples of noisy power could be major appliances on the same circuit, power

from a generator or solar power, light dimmer on the same circuit or mounted near fluorescent lighting. Excessively noisy power may cause

damage to your Alarm.

The basic installation of this Alarm is similar whether you want to

install one Alarm, or interconnect more than one Alarm. If you are

interconnecting more than one Alarm, you MUST read “Special

Requirements For Interconnected Alarms” below before you begin

installation.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Turn off power to the area where

you will install this unit at the circuit breaker or fuse box before

beginning installation. Failure to turn off the power before installa-

tion may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

1. Remove the mounting bracket

from the base, and attach it to

the junction box.

2. Using wire nuts, connect the

power connector to the

household wiring.

3. Plug the power connector into the back of the Alarm.

4. Activate the battery back-up by removing the “Pull to Activate

Battery Back-Up” tab. Or, install battery back-up. Battery back-up

cannot work until you install the battery in the correct position

(Match “+” to “+” and “-” to “-”).

Position the base of the Alarm over the mounting bracket, and turn

the Alarm clockwise (right) until the unit is in place. If wall mounted,

adjust unit so words are level.

6. Check all connections.

Improper wiring of the power connector or the wiring leading to

the power connector will cause damage to the Alarm and may

lead to a non-functioning Alarm.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. Do not restore power until all

Alarms are completely installed. Restoring power before installation

is complete may result in serious electrical shock, injury or death.

7. Make sure the Alarm is receiving AC power. Under normal

operation, the Green power indicator light will shine continuously.

8. If the Green power indicator light does not light,

TURN OFF

POWER TO THE JUNCTION BOX and recheck all connections.

If all connections are correct and the Green power indicator still

does not light when you restore the power, the unit should be

replaced immediately.

9. Test each Smoke Alarm. Press and hold the Test/Silence button

until the unit alarms. When testing a series of interconnected

units you must test each unit individually. eMake sur all units

alarm when each one is tested.

If any unit in the series does not alarm, TURN OFF POWER and

recheck connections. If it does not alarm when you restore

power, replace it immediately.

FOLLOW THESE INSTALLATION STEPS

STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:

• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral

wire in the junction box.

• Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire

in the junction box.

• Tuck the orange wire inside the junction box. It is used for

interconnect only.

I NTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:

Strip off about 1/2” (12 mm) of the plastic coating on the

orange wire on the power connector.

• Connect the white wire on the power connector to the neutral

wire in the junction box.

• Connect the black wire on the power connector to the hot wire

in the junction box.

•

Connect the orange wire on the power connector to the

interconnect wire in the junction box. Repeat for each unit you

a re interconnecting. Never connect the hot or neutral wires in the

junction box to the orange interconnect wire. Never cross hot

a nd neutral wires between Alarms.

STAND-ALONE ALARM ONLY:

• If you are only installing one Alarm, restore power to the

junction box.

INTERCONNECTED UNITS ONLY:

• If you are interconnecting multiple Alarms, repeat steps

1-5 for each Alarm in the series. When you are finished,

restore power to the junction box.

Special Requirements For Interconnected Alarms

• Failure to meet any of the above requirements could damage

the units and cause them to malfunction, removing your

protection.

• AC and AC/DC Alarms can be interconnected. Under AC

power, all units will alarm when one senses smoke or CO.

When power is interrupted, only the AC/DC units in the

series will continue to send and receive signals. AC powered

Alarms will not operate.

Interconnected units can provide earlier warning of fire than stand-alone

units, especially if a fire starts in a remote area of the dwelling. If any unit

in the series senses smoke, all units will alarm. To determine which Alarm

initiated an alarm, see table:

During an Alarm:

On Initiating Alarm(s) Red LED(s) flashes (flash) rapidly

On All Other Alarms Red LED is Off

After an Alarm (Latching):

On Initiating Alarm(s) Red LED(s) On for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds

On All Other Alarms Green LED(s) On, Red LED(s) Off

Compatible Interconnected Units

Interconnect units within a single family residence only. Otherwise all

households will experience unwanted alarms when you test any unit

in the series. Interconnected units will only work if they are wired to

compatible units and all requirements are met. This unit is designed to

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

“Regulatory Information For Smoke Alarms” for details on the NFPA

recommendations).

For CO Alarms, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

recommends that a CO Alarm should be centrally located outside of

each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms.

For added protection, install additional CO Alarms in each separate

bedroom, and on every level of your home.

NOTE: For added protection, install an additional Smoke/CO Alarm at

least 15 feet (4.6 meters) away from the furnace or fuel burning heat

source where possible. In smaller homes or in manufactured homes

where this distance cannot be maintained, install the Alarm as far away

as possible from the furnace or other fuel burning source. Installing the

Alarm closer than 15 feet (4.6 meters) will not harm the Alarm, but may

increase the frequency of unwanted alarms.

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).

RECOMMENDED PLACEMENT

• When installing on the wall, the top edge of Smoke Alarms 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” for more

information.

NOTE: For any location, make sur

e no door or other obstruction could

keep carbon monoxide or smoke from reaching the Alarm.

Installing Smoke/CO Alarms in Mobile Homes

For minimum security install one Smoke/CO Alarm as close to each

sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room.

Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little

or no insulation. If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are

unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on

inside walls only.

WHERE THIS ALARM SHOULD NOT BE INSTALLED

Do NOT locate this Smoke/CO Alarm:

• In garages, furnace rooms, crawl spaces and unfinished attics.

Avoid extremely dusty, dirty or greasy areas.

• Where combustion particles are produced. Combustion particles

form when something burns. Areas to avoid include poorly ventilated

kitchens, garages, and furnace rooms. Keep units at least 20 feet

(6 meters) from the sources of combustion particles (stove, furnace,

water heater, space heater) if possible. In areas where a 20-foot

(6 meter) distance is not possible – in modular, mobile, or smaller

homes, for example – it is recommended the Smoke Alarm be

placed as far from nthese fuel-bur ing sources as possible. The

placement recommendations are intended to keep these Alarms at

a reasonable distance from a fuel-burning source, and thus reduce

“ unwanted” alarms. Unwanted alarms can occur if a Smoke Alarm

is placed directly next to a fuel-burning source. Ventilate these

areas as much as possible.

• Within 5 feet (1.5 meters) 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.

• In ar eas where temperature is colder than 40˚ F (4˚ C) or hotter than

100˚ F (38˚ C). These areas include non-airconditioned crawl

spaces, unfinished attics, uninsulated or poorly insulated ceilings,

porches, and garages.

• 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.

• In “dead air” spaces. See “Avoiding Dead Air Spaces”.

AVOIDING DEAD AIR SPACES

“Dead air” spaces may prevent smoke from reaching the Smoke/CO

Alarm. To avoid dead air spaces, follow installation recommendations

below.

On ceilings, install Smoke/CO Alarms as close to the center of the

ceiling as possible. If this is not possible, install the Smoke/CO Alarm

at least 4 inches (102 mm) from the wall or corner.

For wall mounting (if allowed by building codes), the top edge of

Smoke/CO Alarms should be placed between 4 inches (102 mm) and

12 inches (305 mm) from the wall/ceiling line, below typical “dead air”

spaces.

On a peaked, gabled, or cathedral ceiling, install first Smoke/CO

Alarm within 3 feet (0.9 meters) of the peak of the ceiling, measured

horizontally. Additional Smoke/CO 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.

WEEKLY TESTING

•

NEVER use an open flame of any kind to test this unit. You

might accidentally damage or set fir to the unit or to youre

home. The built-in test switch accurately tests the unit’s

operation as required by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL).

NEVER use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause permanent

damage and voids your warranty.

• If the Alarm ever fails to test properly, replace it immediately.

Products under warranty may be returned to the manufacturer

for replacement. See “Limited Warranty” at the end of this

manual.

It is important to test this unit every week to make

sure it is working properly. Using the test button is

the recommended way to test this Smoke/CO Alarm.

You can test this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing and

holding the Test/Silence button on the Alarm cover until

Alarm Voice says “Testing” (typically 3-5 seconds).

During testing, you will see and hear the following sequence:

• The Alarm Voice will say “Testing.” The will sound 3 beeps,Horn

pause, 3 beeps. The Alarm Voice will say “Warning, evacuate

smoke in [Location, example: “Basement”]. Evacuate.” The

Power/Smoke LED CO LED flashes Red and the will be Off.

• Next the Horn will sound 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps. The Alarm

Voice will say “Warning, evacuate carbon monoxide in [Location,

example: “Basement”]. Evacuate.” The Power/Smoke LED will

be Off and the CO LED flashes Red.

If the unit does not alarm, make sure the batteries are correctly

installed, and test again. If the unit still does not alarm, replace it

immediately.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

U se only the replacement batteries listed below. The unit may not

operate properly with other batteries. Never use rechargeable

b atteries since they may not provide a constant charge.

T his unit has been designed to be as maintenance-free as possible, but

ther e are a few simple things you must do to keep it working properly:

• Test it at least once a week.

• Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum

the outside of the Smoke/CO Alarm using your household vacuum’s

soft brush attachment. Test the Smoke/CO Alarm. Never use water,

cleaners or solvents since they may damage the unit.

• If the Smoke/CO Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt,

dust and/or grime, and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted

alarms, replace the unit immediately.

• Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See

“Where This Alarm Should Not Be Installed” for details.

• When the battery back-up becomes weak, the Alarm will “chirp”

about once a minute (the low battery warning), and the

Voice will

say “Replace battery in [Location, example “Basement”].” Repeated

every 5 hours. This warning should last 7 days, but you should

replace the battery immediately to continue your protection.

The Low Battery Latch feature will be engaged. The Green

Power/Smoke LED will flash On for 2 seconds/Of for 2 seconds.f

Choosing a replacement battery:

Your Smoke/CO Alarm requires two “AA” Energizer E91 batteries.

These batteries are available at many local retail stores.

Actual battery service life depends on the Alarm and the environment

in which it is installed. All the batteries specified above are acceptable

r eplacement batteries for this unit. Regardless of the manufacturer’s

suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery immediately

once the unit starts “chirping” (the “low battery warning”).

To replace the batteries (without removing Alarm from the ceiling

or wall):

1. Open the battery compartment.

2. Press tabs A and B as shown in the

diagram and remove each battery.

3. Insert the new batteries, making sure

they snap completely into the battery

compartment. Match the terminals on

the ends of the batteries with the

ABOUT SMOKE ALARMS

Battery (DC) operated Smoke Alarms:

Provide protection even when

electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh and correctly installed.

Units are easy to install, and do not require professional installation.

However, they do not provide interconnected functionality.

AC powered Smoke Alarms: Can be interconnected so if one unit

senses smoke, all units alarm. They do not operate if electricity fails.

AC with battery (DC) back-up: will operate if electricity fails, provided

the batteries are fresh and correctly installed. AC and AC/DC units

must be installed by a qualified electrician.

Wireless Interconnected Alarms: Offer the same interconnected

functionality as with hardwired alarms, without wires. Units are easy

to install and do not require professional installation. They provide

protection even when electricity fails, provided the batteries are fresh

and correctly installed.

Smoke/CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery

backup power systems: AC powered Smoke/CO Alarms should only

be operated with true or pure sine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm

with most battery-powered UPS (uninterruptible power supply) products

or square wave or “quasi sine wave” inverters

will damage the Alarm.

If you are not sure about your inverter or UPS type, please consult with

the manufacturer to verify.

Smoke Alarms for the hearing impaired: Special purpose Smoke

Alarms should be installed for the hearing impaired. They include a

visual alarm and an audible alarm horn, and meet the requirements of

the Americans With Disabilities Act. Can be interconnected so if one

unit senses smoke, all units alarm.

Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guardsunless the

combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.

All these Smoke Alarms are designed to provide early warning of fires if

located, installed and cared for as described in the user’s manual, and if

smoke reaches the Alarm. If you are unsure which type of Smoke Alarm

to install, refer the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard

72 (National Fire Alarm Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code).

National Fire Protection Association, One Batterymarch Park, Quincy,

MA 02269-9101. Local building codes may also require specific units in

new construction or in different areas of the home.

SPECIAL COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS

This unit alone is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection

systems in places housing many people—like apartment buildings,

condominiums, hotels, motels, dormitories, hospitals, long-term

health care facilities, nursing homes, day carefacilities, or group

homes of any kind—even if they were once single-family homes.

It is not a suitable substitute for complete firedetection systems

in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial buildings, and

special-purpose non-residential buildings which require special

fire detection and alar systems. Depending on the building codesm

in your area, this unit may be used to provide additional protection

in these facilities.

The following information applies to all five types of buildings listed

below:

In new construction, most building codes require the use of AC or

AC/DC powered Smoke Alarms only. AC, AC/DC, DC or Wireless

DC powered Smoke Alarms can be used in existing construction as

specified by local building codes. Refer to NFPA 72 (National Fire Alarm

Code) and NFPA 101 (Life Safety Code), local building codes, or

consult your Fire Department for detailed fire protection requirements

in buildings not defined as “households.”

1. Single-Family Residence:

Single family home, townhouse. It is recommended this unit be

installed on every level of the home, in every bedroom, and in each

bedroom hallway.

2. Multi-Family or Mixed Occupant Residence:

Apartment building, condominium. This unit is suitable for use in

individual apartments or condos, provided a primary fire detection

system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common

areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this unit in common areas

may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local fire

protection ordinances/regulations.

3. Institutions:

Hospitals, day care facilities, long-term health care facilities. This unit is

suitable for use in individual patient sleeping/resident rooms, provided

a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection

requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using

this unit in common areas may not provide sufficient warning to all

residents or meet local fire protection ordinances/regulations.

4. Hotels and Motels:

Also boarding houses and dormitories. This unit is suitable for use inside

individual sleeping/resident rooms, provided a primary fire detection

system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common

areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches. Using this unit in common

areas may not provide sufficient warning to all residents or meet local

fire protection ordinances/regulations.

5. Warehouses/Commercial Buildings:

DO NOT use this Smoke/CO Alarm in warehouses, industrial or

commercial buildings, special-purpose non-residential buildings, RVs,

boats, or airplanes. This Smoke/CO Alarm is specifically designed

for residential use, and may not provide adequate protection in non-

residential applications.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is intended for residential use. It is not intended

for use in industrial applications where Occupational Safety and Health

Administration (OSHA) requirements for Carbon Monoxide Alarms must

be met. The Smoke Alarm portion of this device is not intended to alert

hearing impaired residents. Special purpose Smoke Alarms should be

installed for hearing impaired residents (CO Alarms are not yet available

for the hearing impaired).

Smoke/CO Alarms may not waken all individuals. Practice the

escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that everyone is involved

– from kids to grandparents. Allow children to master fire escape

planning and practice before holding a fire drill at night when they are

sleeping. If children or others do not readily waken to the sound of the

Smoke/CO Alarm, or if there are infants or family members with mobility

limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire

drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended that you hold

a fire drill while family members are sleeping in order to determine their

response to the sound of the Smoke/CO Alarm while sleeping and

to determine whether they may need assistance in the event of an

emergency.

Smoke/CO Alarms cannot work without power. Battery operated

units cannot work if the batteries are missing, disconnected or dead, if

the wrong type of batteries are used, or if the batteries are not installed

correctly. AC units cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason

(open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power line or at a power

station, electrical fire that burns the electrical wires, etc.). If you are

concerned about the limitations of battery or AC power, install both

types of units.

This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not

reach the sensors. It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke

or CO may be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may

affect the rate at which CO or smoke reaches the sensors. If bedroom

doors are usually closed at night, we recommend you install an alarm

device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and

Smoke Alarms) in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.

This Smoke/CO Alarm may not sense smoke or CO on another level

of the home. Example: This alarm device, installed on the second floor,

may not sense smoke or CO in the basement. For this reason, one

alarm device may not give adequate early warning. Recommended

minimum protection is one alarm device in every sleeping area, every

bedroom, and on every level of your home. Some experts recommend

battery powered Smoke and CO Alarms be used in conjunction with

interconnected AC powered Smoke Alarms. For details, see “About

Smoke Alarms” for details.

Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness

meets or exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters).

However, if the Smoke/CO Alarm is installed outside the bedroom, it

may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used drugs

or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if the

door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may

not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed

doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or

other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm

horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing

impaired.

The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes

damage, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not

reach the unit immediately. Examples of this include persons

smoking in bed, children playing with matches, or fires caused by

violent explosions resulting from escaping gas.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance. Though

this Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence

of smoke, BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that

they will protect lives. Homeowners and renters must still insure their lives.

This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life. Although this Smoke/CO

Alarm and all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are

designed to be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at

any time. Therefore, you must test this device weekly. The unit should

be replaced immediately if it is not operating properly.

This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic

devices, this Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke

or CO that reaches the sensors. It may not give early warning of the

source of smoke or CO is in a remote part of the home, away from the

alarm device.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME

Fuel-burning appliances like: portable heater, gas or wood burning

fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer.

Damaged or insufficient venting: corroded or disconnected water

heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat

exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening.

Improper use of appliance/device: operating a barbecue grill or

vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).

Transient CO Problems: “transient” or on-again-off-again CO problems

can be caused by outdoor conditions and other special circumstances.

The following conditions can result in transient CO situations:

1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel appliances caused by

outdoor conditions such as:

• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high, gusty winds.

Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods

between cycles).

• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust

fans.

• Several appliances running at the same time competing for

limited fresh air.

• Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers,

furnaces, or water heaters.

• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can

amplify the above situations.

2. Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range, oven,

fireplace).

3. Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust close to the ground.

4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.

These conditions are dangerous because they can trap exhaust in your

home. Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to

recreate during a CO investigation.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MY FAMILY FROM

CO POISONING?

A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air

and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become

threatening for average, healthy adults.

A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home

appliances.

To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning:

• Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves,

and nests for proper air flow. Also, have a professional check for

rust and corrosion, cracks, or separations. These conditions can

prevent proper air movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap”

or cover a chimney in any way that would block air flow.

• Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually. Many

local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies offer appliance

inspections for a nominal fee.

• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appliances.

Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling. Also check the

flame on the burner and pilot lights. The flame should be blue.

A yellow flame means fuel is not being burned completely and

CO may be present. Keep the blower door on the furnace closed.

Use vents or fans when they are available on all fuel-burning

appliances. Make sure appliances are vented to the outside. Do

not grill or barbecue indoors, or in garages or on screen porches.

• Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the draft

hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look for cracks

on furnace heat exchangers.

• Check the house or garage on the other side of shared wall.

• Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect that CO

is escaping into your home, open a window or a door. Opening

windows and doors can significantly decrease CO levels.

In addition, familiarize yourself with all enclosed materials. Read

this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand what to

do if your CO Alarm sounds.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO

WHAT IS CO?

CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels

do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical

appliances typically do not produce CO.

These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline,

kerosene, and propane.

Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly

maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise

quickly. CO is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient.

“Air-tight” homes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other

weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

These symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be

discussed with ALL household members.

Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like”

symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast

heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Convulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung

failure. Exposure to Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage, death.

This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO

levels are extremely high in a short period of time, or if CO levels reach

a certain minimum over a long period of time. The CO Alarm generally

sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average, healthy

adults. Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a

potential CO problem while you can still react in time. In many reported

cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling

w ell, but become disoriented and can no longer react well enough to

exit the building or get help. Also, young children and pets may be the

first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel any symptoms

w hen the CO Alarm sounds. However, people with cardiac or respiratory

problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant mothers, or elderly people

can be more quickly and severely affected by CO. If you experience

even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your doctor immediately!

F INDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, invisible gas, which often makes it

difficult to locate the source eof CO after an alarm. These ar a few of

the factors that can make it difficult to locate sources of CO:

• House well ventilated before the investigator arrives.

• Problem caused by “backdrafting.”

• Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.

Because CO may dissipate by the time an investigator arrives, it may

be difficult to locate the source of CO. BRK Brands, Inc. shall not be

obligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service

call.

10 11 12

AFTER AN ALARM

After the emergency responders arrive, the premises aired out, and

your CO Alarm remains in its normal condition, you can check what

the highest carbon monoxide level sensed was:

Action:

1. Press & Hold Test Button

Alarm Will Say:

“Highest carbon monoxide level

was ___ ppm. Please see manual.”

“To clear highest carbon monoxide

level, press and hold test button

now.”

2. Press & Hold Test Button, if

you would like to clear the

highest level sensed.

If you would like to keep the

highest level in memory, do not

press anything.

“Highest carbon monoxide level

cleared.”

Alarm will say nothing.

IF THE SMOKE ALARM SOUNDS

RESPONDING TO AN ALARM

• If the unit alarms and you are not testing the unit, it is warning

you of a potentially dangerous situation that requires your

immediate attention. NEVER ignore any alarm. Ignoring the

alarm may result in injury or death.

• Never remove the batteries from a battery operated Smoke/CO

Alarm to stop an unwanted alarm (caused by cooking smoke, etc.).

Removing batteries disables the alarm so it cannot sense smoke,

and removes your protection. Instead open a window or fan the

smoke away from the unit. The alarm will reset automatically.

• If the unit alarms get everyone out of the house immediately.

WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE

• Don’t panic; stay calm. Follow your family escape plan.

• Get out of the house as quickly as possible. Don’t stop to get

dressed or collect anything.

• Feel doors with the back of your hand beforeopening them.

If a door is cool, open it slowly. Don’t open a hot door. Keep doors

and windows closed, unless you must escape through them.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a cloth (preferably damp).

Take short, shallow breaths.

• Meet at your planned meeting place outside your home,

and do a head count to make sureeverybody got out safely.

• Call the Fire Department as soon as possible from outside.

Give your address, then your name.

• Never go back inside a burning building for any reason.

• Contact your Fir Department for ideas on making your home safere .

Alarms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of

Smoke/CO Alarms" for details.

LATCHING FEATURES

Alarm Latch is activated after an Alarm is exposed to alarm levels of

smoke or carbon monoxide. This feature will only work with AC power.

After smoke or CO levels drop below alarm levels, the “Smoke/Power”

or “CO” Red LED will begin to flash once every few seconds. It will

continue to flash or “latch” until you clear it by testing the alarm.

This feature helps emergency responders, investigators, or service

technicians identify which unit(s) in your home were exposed to alarm

levels of smoke or carbon monoxide. This can help investigators

pinpoint the source of smoke or CO.

Interconnected Alarms. Latching Alarm Indicator shows which Alarm(s)

in the series were exposed to alarm levels of smoke or carbon monoxide.

The Latching Alarm Indicator stays ON until you clear it, so it can alert

you to an alarm that occurred while you were away from home, even

though smoke or CO present in the air has dropped below alarm levels.

Low Battery Latch is activated when the Alarm is in the "low battery

condition". When this occurs, the Smoke/Power LED flashes Green On

for 2 seconds/Off for 2 seconds. This feature is designed to help you

identify which Alarm needs to have the battery replaced. Although, the

Alarm will sound the low battery chirp approximately once every minute,

sometimes during the initial stages of "low battery", the Alarm will chirp

in greater intervals than one minute, sometimes up to several hours,

until the battery reaches a steady low battery level. This innovative

feature eliminates the frustration of waiting for and/or identifying which

unit is chirping.

“SMART INTERCONNECT” FEATURE

This Alarm includes "Smart Interconnect" which enables the Alarm to be

interconnected with other First Alert

®and BRK Smoke, Heat, and "Smart

Interconnect" CO Alarms. When smoke is detected, all Alarms will sound

the smoke horn pattern. When CO is detected, "Smart Interconnect"

Alarms will sound the CO horn pattern. Alarms that do not have the

"Smart Interconnect" feature will remain silent during a CO alarm.

USING THE SILENCE FEATURES

Never remove the batteries to quiet an unwanted alarm. Removing

the batteries disables the alarm and removes your protection.

The Silence Featur is intended to temporarily silence the hore n while

you identify and correct the problem. Do not use the Silence Feature in

emergency situations. It will not correct a CO problem or extinguish a

fire.

The Silence Feature can temporarily quiet an unwanted alarm for several

minutes. You can silence this Smoke/CO Alarm by pressing the

Test/Silence button on the alarm cover for at least 3-5 seconds.

After the Test/Silence button is released, the Alarm Voice will say “Horn

silenced, detector active.” The Red LED blinks during the silence mode.

SILENCING THE LOW BATTERY WARNING

This Silence Feature can temporarily quiet the low battery warning

“chirp” for up to 8 hours if AC power is present. Pr ess the Test/Silence

button on the Alarm cover until you hear the acknowledge “chirp”.

Once the low battery warning “chirp” silence feature is activated, the

unit continues to flash the green light once a minute for 8 hours. After

8 hours, the low battery “chirp” will resume. The Alarm will continue to

operate as long as AC power is supplied. However, replace the batteries

as soon as possible, to maintain protection in event of a power outage.

To deactivate this feature: Press the Test/Silence button again. The

unit will go into Test Mode and the low battery warning will resume

(LED flashes and unit sounds “chirp” once a minute).

To silence Alarms in an interconnected series:

To silence an interconnected series of Smoke/CO Alarms, you must

press the Test/Silence button on the initiating alarm (The unit with the

flashing red light; the red light will be off on all other Alarms.). If you

press the Test/Silence on any other Alarm, it will only silence that unit,

not the whole interconnected series.

When the Smoke Alarm is

Silenced

When the CO Alarm is

Silenced

The Smoke Alarm will remain

silent for up to 15 minutes, then

return to normal operation.

If the smoke has not cleared–or

continues to increase–the device

will go back into alarm.

The CO alarm will remain silent

for up to 4 minutes.

After 4 minutes, if CO levels

remain potentially dangerous the

horn will start sounding again.

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR

S MOKE/CO ALARMS

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR CO ALARMS

W HAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?

Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential

CO Alarms to sound when exposed to levels of CO and exposure times

as described below. They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of

CO over time (in minutes).

UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:

• If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM

BETWEEN 4 and 15 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM

BETWEEN 10 and 50 MINUTES.

• If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM

BETWEEN 60 and 240 MINUTES.

*Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to 95% Relative

Humidity (RH).

The unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a constant level

of 30 ppm for 30 days.

CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life

threat. Since you cannot see or smell CO, never assume it’s not present.

• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect

average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause

headaches.

• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average,

healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.

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 onot limited to, exhaust fr m internal-combustion engines, abnormal

operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. CO Alarms are

i ntended 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 at the Alarm, 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.

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.

Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

REGULATORY INFORMATION FOR SMOKE ALARMS

RECOMMENDED LOCATIONS FOR SMOKE ALARMS

Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one

Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bed-

room. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered

and interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for

details. For additional coverage, it is recommended that you install a

Smoke Alarm in all rooms, halls, storage areas, finished attics, and

basements, where temperatures normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C)

and 100˚ F (38˚ C). Make sure no door or other obstruction could keep

smoke from reaching the Smoke Alarms.

More specifically, install Smoke 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

long (12 meters), install a unit at each end.

• At the top of the first-to-second floor stairway, and at the bottom

of the basement stairway.

Specific requirements for Smoke Alarm installation vary from state to

state and from region to region. Check with your local Fire Department

for current requirements in your area.

It is recommended AC or AC/DC

units be interconnected for added protection.

INSTALLING SMOKE ALARMS IN MOBILE HOMES

For minimum security install one Smoke Alarm as close to each

sleeping area as possible. For more security, put one unit in each room.

Many older mobile homes (especially those built before 1978) have little

or no insulation. If your mobile home is not well insulated, or if you are

unsure of the amount of insulation, it is important to install units on

inside walls only. Smoke Alarms should be installed where temperatures

normally remain between 40˚ F (4˚ C) and 100˚ F (38˚ C).

AGENCY PLACEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Standards: Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Single and Multiple Station

NFPA 72 (National Fire Code) Chapter 11

“For your information, the National Fire Protection Association's

Standard 72, reads as follows:”

“11.5.1 One- and Two-Family Dwelling Units.”

“11.5.1.1 Smoke Detection. Where required by applicable laws, codes,

or standards for the specified occupancy, approved single- and multiple-

station Smoke Alarms shall be installed as follows: (1) In all sleeping

rooms. Exception: Smoke Alarms shall not be required in sleeping

rooms in existing one- and two-family dwelling units. (2) Outside of each

separate sleeping area, in immediate vicinity of the sleeping rooms.

(3) On each level of the dwelling unit, including basements. Exception:

In existing one- and two family dwelling units, approved Smoke Alarms

“A.11.8.3 Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?

The required number of Smoke Alarms might not provide reliable early

warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas

protected by the required Smoke Alarms. For this reason, it is recom-

mended that the householder consider the use of additional Smoke

Alarms for those areas for increased protection. The additional areas

include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility

room, and hallways not protected by the required Smoke Alarms. The

installation of Smoke Alarms in kitchens, unfinished attics, or garages is

not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience

conditions that can result in improper operation.”

California State Fire Marshal (CSFM)

Early warning detection is best achieved by the installation of fire

detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household as follows:

A Smoke Alarm installed in each separate sleeping area (in the vicinity,

but outside bedrooms), and Heat or Smoke Alarms in the living rooms,

dining rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, hallways, finished attics, furnace

rooms, closets, utility and storage rooms, basements, and attached

garages.

IF THE CO ALARM SOUNDS

Actuation of your CO Alarm indicates the presence of carbon

monoxide (CO) which can kill you. In other words, when your CO

1. Operate the Test/Silence button.

2. Call your emergency services, fire department or 911. Write down

the number of your local emergency service here:

____________________________________________________________

3. Immediately move to fresh air—outdoors or by an open door or

window. Do a head count to check that all persons are accounted

for. Do not re-enter the premises, or move away from the open door

or window until the emergency services responder has arrived, the

premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm remains in its

normal condition.

4. After following steps 1-3, if your CO Alarm reactivates within a 24-

hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance

technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel-burning

equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this

equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection have the

equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment

not inspected by the technician, and consult the manufacturers’

instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more

information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that

motor vehicles are not, and have not, been operating in an attached

garage or adjacent to the residence. Write down the number of a

qualified appliance technician here:

____________________________________________________________

NOTE: 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, air conditioning (HVAC) equipment,

combustion appliances and equipment, and/or gas fireplaces or other

decorative combustion equipment.”

“ALARM-MOVE TO FRESH AIR”

If you hear the CO alarm horn and the CO red light is flashing,

move everyone to a source of fresh air.
