INSTALLATION
WHERE TO AND WHERE NOT TO INSTALL CO ALARMS
I
deally, you should have an alarm in or near every room that has a fuel-
burning appliance. However, if you have more than one appliance, but only
o
ne alarm, you should take the following into consideration when deciding
w
here best to put the alarm.
I
f there is a fuel-burning appliance in the room where you sleep, you
should put the alarm in that room.
If there is a fuel-burning appliance in the room that you use a lot, e.g. a
s
itting room, you should put it in that room.
If you live in a bed-sit put the alarm as far away from the cooking
a
ppliances as possible, but near to the place where you sleep.
If the fuel-burning appliance is in a room not normally used (e.g. a boiler
r
o
om) put the alarm just outside the room so that you will be able to hear
the alarm mor
e easily
.
I
f the alarm is in the same room as the appliance: –
I
t should be mounted on or close to the ceiling at a height gre
ater than that
of any door or window. It should be at least 300mm from any wall, light fitting
o
r any other obstruction. If mounted on a wall it should be at least 150mm
f
ro
m the ceiling. If mounted in a ro
om with a sloped or gabled ceiling it should
be at least 1 metre lower than the highest point of the room as long as that is
a
bove doors and windows. If the alarm is in a room that is remote from the
a
ppliance, then the alarm should be in the bre
athing zone of the occupants.
An alarm should be at least 1.8 metres (6 feet) from the fuel-burning
a
ppliance.
Do not put a CO alarm:
Outside the building.
In close proximity to a vehicle exhaust pipe; this will damage the alarm.
In or below a cupboard.
In a damp or humid area.
Near paint thinners, adhesives, polishes, aerosols, or household cleaning
pr
oducts. Other substances may also af
fect the reliability of the unit.
Directly above a sink or cooker.
Next to a door window or extractor fan or anywhere that it would be
affected by draughts.
In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or chimneys.
Where it would be obstructed by curtains or furniture.
In an area where the temperature could drop below -10º C or rise to
above 40º C.
Where humidity is less than 30% R.H. or more than 90% R.H.
Where dirt or dust could block the sensor and stop it from working.
Where it could be easily knocked or damaged, or where it could be
accidentally turned off or removed.
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
ar
e 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 war
ehouses, industrial or commer
cial
buildings, special-purpose non-residential buildings, or airplanes.
This CO Alarm is specifically designed for residential use, and may
not provide adequate protection in non-residential applications.

D
angers, Wa
rnings, and Cautions alert you to important operating
instructions or to potentially hazardous situations. Pay special
a
ttention to these items.
THIS IS NOT A SMOKE ALARM! This CO Alarm is designed to detect
c
arbon monoxide from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed
to detect smoke, fir
e, or any other gas.
This CO Alarm is approved for use in single-family residences.
I
t is NOT designed for marine use or for use in a caravan or LAV
s.
This CO Alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas
a
t the sensor.
Carbon monoxide gas may be pre
sent in other areas.
T
he Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not corr
ect
a
CO pro
blem. Always check your home for a potential problem after
any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
NEVER ignore your Carbon Monoxide Alarm if it alarms. Refer to
What to do if the Alarm Sounds” for more information. Failure to do
s
o can result in injury or death.
Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test
correctly, have it replaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working
p
ro
perly, it cannot alert you to a pr
oblem.
HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
This Co Alarm does not operate without working batteries. Removing
t
he batteries, or failure
to replace them at the end of their service
life, r
emoves your pr
o
tection.
High temperatures, low temperatures, high humidity, impact or
dropping can adversely affect LCD displays.
A CO Alarm measures the CO levels in the air. It will alarm if CO levels rise
quickly (if the heat exchanger on your fur
nace breaks, for example), or if CO
is consistently present (a slow CO leak on a fuel-burning appliance).
This Carbon Monoxide Alarm features a permanently installed sensor, three
colored indicator lights, and an 85 dB alarm hor
n. It also has a silence feature
to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.

INSTALLING THE AA BATTERIES
1
. Flip the battery door down to open.
2. Install both AA batteries
(
included) inside the battery
compartment as indicated.
Make sure the “+” and “–”
e
nds of each battery are
aligned properly.
3
. Close the battery door.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR CO ALARM
Read “Where To and Where Not to Install CO Alarms” before starting.
Befor
e you start installation,
find the pair of self-adhesive labels included
with this CO Alarm. On each label write in the phone number of your
emergency responder (like 999 in the UK or 112 in Europe) and a qualified
appliance technician. Place one label near the CO Alarm, and the other label
in the “fresh air” location you plan to go if the alarm sounds.
WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS
If harmful levels of carbon monoxide are detected, your alarm will emit a
s
eries of four beeps followed by a short pause; this will be accompanied
by a flashing red light. This pattern will be repeated until the alarm is
successfully reset. If the alarm is emitting a different pattern of beeps
see section “Understanding Your CO Alarm”.
I
f the alarm sounds, respond as follows:
1
. If anyone is experiencing the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning —
headache, dizziness, nausea or other ‘flu-like’ symptoms:–
2
.
Open the doors and windows to ventilate.
3
. Turn off any fuel-burning appliances where possible and stop using them.
4
. Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.
5
. Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number.
R
ecor
d those numbers here:–
6
. Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped.
7
. Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of carbon
m
onoxide poisoning (headache, nausea), and advise that carbon monoxide
poisoning is suspected.
8
. Do not use the fuel-burning appliances again until they have been
checked by an expert. In the case of gas appliances this must be a
C
APITA/Gas Safe registered installer.
9. If no symptoms exist, operate the Test/Reset button and immediately
v
entilate the home by opening the windows and doors.
10. The alarm can be silenced by pressing the Test/Reset button.
A
larms have various limitations. See "General Limitations of CO Alarms"
for details.
USING THE SILENCE FEA
TURE
The Silence Feature is for your convenience only and will not
corr
ect a CO pr
oblem. Always check your home for a potential
p
roblem after any alarm. Failure to do so can result in injury or
d
eath.
NEVER remove the batteries from your CO Alarm to silence the
h
orn
. Use the silence feature. Removing the batteries r
emoves
y
our protection! See “What to do if the Alarm Sounds” for details
on responding to an alarm.
The Silence Feature is intended to temporarily silence your CO Alarm’s alarm
h
orn while you correct the problem—it will not correct a CO problem. While
t
he alarm is silenced it will continue to monitor the air for CO.
W
hen CO reaches alarm levels the alarm will sound— repeating horn pattern:
4
beeps, a pause, 4 beeps, etc. Press and hold the Test/Silence button until
the horn is silent. The initial Silence cycle will last approximately 4 minutes.
NOTE: After initial 4-minute Silence cycle, the CO Alarm re-evaluates present
C
O levels and responds accordingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerous
—or start rising higher—the horn will start sounding again.
While the detector is silenced:
If the CO Alarm...
Is silent for only 4 minutes, then

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO
WHAT IS CO?
CO is an invisible, odourless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not
b
urn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances
t
ypically do not produce CO.
T
hese fuels include:
W
ood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline,
kerosene, and propane.
C
ommon appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly main-
tained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.
C
O is a real danger now that homes are more energy efficient. “Air-tight”
h
omes with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing
can “trap” CO inside.
SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING
T
hese symptoms are related to CO POISONING and should be discussed
with ALL household members.
M
ild Exposure:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (“flu-like” symptoms).
M
edium Exposure:
T
hro
bbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure:
C
onvulsions, unconsciousness, heart and lung failure. Exposure to carbon
m
onoxide can cause brain damage or death.
S
ome individuals are more sensitive to CO than others, including people
w
ith cardiac or respiratory problems, infants, unborn babies, pregnant
m
others, or elderly people can be more
quickly and severe
ly aff
ected
by CO. These people should consult their doctors for advice on taking
a
dditional precautions.
FINDING THE SOURCE OF CO AFTER AN ALARM
Carbon monoxide is an odourless, invisible gas, which often makes it difficult
t
o locate the source of CO after an alarm. These are a few of the factors that
c
an 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
d
ifficult to locate the source of CO.
B
RK Brands Europe Ltd shall not be
o
bligated to pay for any carbon monoxide investigation or service call.
TIPS FOR THE HOMEOWNER
E
nergy Conservation and Indoor Air Quality
T
w
o steps that homeowners take to conserve energ
y may adversely aff
ect
indoor air quality
. Since air leakage can account for as much as 40% of
h
eat loss, houses are being made more airtight. Reduced air leakage will
c
ontribute to higher concentrations of air contaminants fro
m indoor sources
and can cause draught r
eversal in the central heating boiler or fir
e
place
c
himney when the demand for air by fireplaces, central heating boilers and
e
xhaust fans exceed the air supplied by leakage are
a and supply ducts.
Converting from oil to gas, without taking steps to prevent chimney
d
eterioration, will increase the risk of chimney blockage, draught failure
a
nd the associated re
lease of combustion pro
ducts into the house. Yo
u
should always use pr
operly qualified CAPITA registered gas installers.
Dirt and Blockage
Never insulate or try to seal up a draught hood, wind cap or exhaust vent
o
n any gas appliance (central heating boiler, hot water heater, cooker, dryer
or space heater). Keep area around appliances clean. Don’t store anything
that could r
estrict air cir
culation close to equipment. If you have a gas water
h
eater, make sure that combustion air openings at the bottom of the tank
and the opening below the draft diverter (on top of the tank next to the flue
duct) remain unblocked. If you have a gas dryer, the exhaust duct must be
v
ented to the outside and have a hood at the end. Check that the exhaust
system is not blocked by lint or debris and that the flapper in the hood
moves fr
eely
.
F
or all fuel-burning equipment, make sur
e that vent hoods and pipes are not
b
locked by insulation, leaves or bird nests. If you have pets, make sure that
there is no build up of fur or hair around gas burners or aeration holes.
U
sing other equipment that consumes or exhausts household air
If you use exhaust fans, a fireplace or other fuel burning heaters or stoves:
Run exhaust fans for just a minute or two. Pr
olonged use could remove
too much air, and it wastes heat. If your appliance has a conventional flue,
beware of running extraction fans when the gas appliance is on. When your
fireplace, coal or wood stove is operating, open a window or install a fresh
air duct directly to the fireplace or stove so that it won’t steal air from your
central heating boiler.
Confining or enclosing gas-fired equipment
If you have partitioned off your central heating boiler and water heater, you
may need additional ventilation.
Danger Signs
Stuffy, stale or smelly air, back draughts and soot from a fireplace or boiler
chimney usually means your home needs more air for proper combustion and
healthy living. For gas-fir
ed equipment, mostly yellow (rather than clear blue)
bur
ner flames, a pilot light that keeps going out, or a smell of gas indicate
tr
ouble. T
urn off the equipment and contact the gas emergency service,
number in the telephone directory, under ‘Gas’.
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY TIPS
First Alert CO alarms are manufactured to the highest standards to ensure
faultless operation and long life. The manufacturers do, however, recommend
that no CO alarm should be used for more than twelve years, in order to
minimise the chance of a fault occurring. The disposal pr
ocedur
e to be
followed for this alarm is to send back defective or used alarms to your
supplier
. Have your fuel bur
ning equipment checked periodically for safety
and efficiency by a qualified service engineer. If you are adding a wood or
coal burning stove to a home, make sure that the stove is properly installed
and vented.
Check with the Building Inspectors Department of your local council and
always use a qualified (CAPITA registered) gas installer. If you have already
installed a wood or coal stove without building r
egulation appr
oval, consult
your local Building Contr
ol Of
ficer
. Some ‘do-it-yourselfers’ have unknowingly
created dangerous conditions.
Do not expose yourself to carbon monoxide through carelessness.
Never operate a petrol engine in a confined or enclosed space such as a
garage or tool shed. Never use a paraffin stove or charcoal grill in a confined
space such as a closed garage or caravan. On brick chimneys inspect and
clean-out regularly to ensure that the chimney is free and clear of debris.
Regar
dless of the fuel your boiler
, fir
eplace or stove uses, your chimney
should be inspected from time to time by a competent person. Any ‘Efficiency’
devices must always be installed by a CAPITA registered installer. When using
paints, household cleaning supplies or similar materials, be sur
e that you’r
e
using them in a well-ventilated area. Following sensible maintenance and
safety procedures in the home will give you fuel savings without endangering
your health.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
To keep the CO Alarm in good working order:
Test it every week using the Test/Silence button.
Vacuum the CO Alarm cover once a month, using the soft brush attach-
ment. Never use water, cleaners, or solvents, since these may damage
the unit. Test the CO Alarm again after vacuuming.
Replace the batteries when the CO Alarm “chirps” about every minute
(the low battery warning).
T
he low battery warning should last for 30 days, but you should replace the
battery immediately to continue your protection.
C
hoosing a replacement battery:
T
his CO Alarm requires two alkaline LR6 1.5VDC AA batteries. The following
batteries are acceptable as replacements: Duracell MN1500 (LR6), Energizer
E
91. These replacement batteries are commonly available at local retail stores.
U
se only the replacement batteries listed. The unit may not operate properly
with other batteries. Never use rechargeable batteries since they may not
p
rovide a constant charge.
D
O NOT spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near
the CO Alarm. DO NOT paint over the CO Alarm. Doing so may cause
permanent damage.
H
ousehold cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect
t
he sensor. When using any of these materials near the CO Alarm, make sure
the room is well ventilated.
TESTING & MAINTENANCE
WEEKLY TESTING
Test the CO Alarm once a week. If the CO Alarm ever fails to test
corr
ectly
, have it r
eplaced immediately! If the CO Alarm is not working
properly, it cannot alert you to a problem.
DO NOT stand close to the Alarm when the horn is sounding.
Exposure at close range may be harmful to your hearing. When
testing, step away when horn starts sounding.
Push and hold the Test/Silence button on the cover until the LED flashes.
The alarm horn will sound 4 beeps, a pause, then 4 beeps. The ALARM (RED)
light will flash.
The alarm sequence should last 5-6 seconds. If it does not alarm, make sure
fr
esh batteries ar
e corr
ectly installed, and test it again. If the unit still does not
alarm, r
eplace it immediately
.
If the alarm does not test properly:
1. Make sure that fresh batteries are installed correctly.
2.
Be sure the Alarm is clean and dust-free.
3.
Install fr
esh AA batteries
* and test the Alarm again.
DO NOT try fixing the Alarm yourself – this will void your warranty!

GUARANTEE INFORMATION
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
v
ent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked
o
r clogged chimney opening.
I
mproper use of appliance/device:
o
perating a barbecue grill or vehicle in
an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).
T
ransient 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
t
he 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
w
ater heaters.
Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify
t
he 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
h
ome. Since these conditions can come and go, they are also hard to
recreate during a CO investigation.
P
OTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO IN THE HOME
WHAT LEVELS OF CO CAUSE AN ALARM?
T
echnical information
Your alarm utilizes a proprietary Electronic Sensing Technology that permits
t
he unit to vary the exposure time before the alarm sounds based on carbon
monoxide concentrations.
T
he carbon monoxide concentrations and time standards for the alarms
ar
e as follows:
CO Alarms are designed to alarm before there is an immediate life threat.
S
ince 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,
h
ealthy adults, but after 4 hours the same level may cause headaches.
An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in average, healthy
a
dults after 35 minutes, but can cause death after 2 hours.
This CO Alarm measures exposure to CO over time. It alarms if CO levels
a
re 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
e
xposure, victims may be aware that they are not feeling well, but become
disoriented and can no longer r
e
act well enough to exit the building or get
help. Also, young children and pets may be the first affected. The average
h
ealthy adult might not feel any symptoms when 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
b
y CO. If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poisoning, consult your
doctor immediately!

C

I
f children or others do not readily
waken to the sound of the CO alarm, or if there are infants or family members
w
ith mobility limitations, make sure that someone is assigned to assist them
i
n the event of an emerg
ency.
C
O Alarms will not work without power.
T
his alarm requires two standard
AA batteries to operate.
CO Alarms for Solar or Wind Energy users and battery backup power
s
ystems:
A
C powere
d CO Alarms should only be operated with true or pure
s
ine wave inverters. Operating this Alarm with most battery-powered UPS
(uninterruptible power supply) products or square wave or “quasi sine wave”
i
nverters
w
ill damage the Alarm
.
If you are
not sure about your inverter or
U
PS type, please consult with the manufacturer to verify.
T
his CO Alarm will not sense carbon monoxide that does not re
ach the
sensor. This CO Alarm will only sense CO at the sensor. CO may be present
i
n other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which CO
r
eaches the CO Alarm. For this reason, if bedroom doors are usually closed
at night, we r
ecommend you install a CO Alarm in each bedr
o
om and in the
h
allway between them.
C
O Alarms may not sense CO on another level of the home.
F
or example,
a
CO Alarm on the second level, near the bedrooms, may not sense CO in the
basement. For this reason, one CO Alarm may not give adequate warning.
C
omplete coverage is recommended. Place CO Alarms on each level of the
h
ome.
C
O Alarms may not be heard.
T
he alarm horn loudness meets or exceeds
current EN standards of 85 dB at 1 metre (3 feet). However, if the CO Alarm
i
s installed outside the bedroom, it may not wake up a sound sleeper or one
w
ho has re
cently used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This
is especially true if the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who
a
re awake may not hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or
c
losed doors. Noise fro
m traff
ic, stere
o, radio, television, air conditioner,
or
other appliances may also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn.
T
his CO Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
CO Alarms are not a substitute for a smoke alarm. Although fire is a
s
ource of carbon monoxide, this CO Alarm does not sense smoke or fire. This
C
O Alarm senses CO that may be escaping unnoticed fro
m malfunctioning
furnaces, appliances, or other sources. Early warning of fire requires the
i
nstallation of smoke alarms.
C
O Alarms are
not a substitute for life insurance.
T
hough these CO Alarms
w
arn against increasing CO levels, BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply
i
n any way that they will protect lives from CO poisoning. Homeowners and
r
e
nters must still insure
their lives.
C
O Alarms have a limited life.
A
lthough the CO Alarm and all of its parts
h
ave 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
y
our CO Alarm weekly.
CO Alarms are not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, CO Alarms
have limitations. They can only detect CO that r
eaches their sensors. They may
n
ot give early warning to rising CO levels if the CO is coming from a remote
part of the home, away fr
o
m the CO Alarm.
