CAUTION: CARBON MONOXIDE GAS AND ITS DETECTION
This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not
expose it to rain or moisture. Do not drop the detector or subject it to
other physical shock. Do not open or tamper with the detector as this
may cause it to malfunction. The detector will not protect against the
risk of carbon monoxide poisoning if not properly installed.
NOTE: The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas in the vicinity of the detector itself. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
THIS CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR IS NOT:
Designed to detect smoke, fire or any gas other than carbon
•
monoxide
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 burned. 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 such 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 related to carbon monoxide poisoning and should be
discussed with all members of the household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often
•
described as "flu-like" symptoms).
Medium exposure: Sever throbbing headache, drowsiness,
•
confusion, fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio
•
respiratory failure, death.
Many causes of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that
while victims are aware that they are not 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.
WARNING: IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE USER
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO), which can cause injury or death.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning
devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30ppm.
What to do if the carbon monoxide detector goes into alarm:
1. Push the Hush/Test button. If the detector reactivates or the
detector does not silence, continue with Step 2.
2. Immediately move to fresh air, outdoors or by an open window.
Check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the
premises nor move away from the open door/window until
emergency service responders have arrived.
3. Call your local fire department from a phone in an area where the
air is safe.
4. If your detector reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps
1 - 3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate
possible sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and
appliances, and check 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 manufacturer's
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.

IMPORTANT: This detector should be tested and maintained
regularly following National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 720
requirements. (Generally, this detector should be fully tested at least
once per month.)
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 carbon monoxide detector. This detector's
lifespan is approximately six years from the date of manufacture.
The user should periodically check the detector's replacement date.
Remove the detector from its base and check the replacement date
label on the underside of the detector. The label indicates the date
that the detector should be replaced.
NOTE: When the detector is removed from its base, a message is sent
to the central station. If the system is armed, a tamper alarm
message is sent; if disarmed, a trouble message is sent.
The detector will also indicate a trouble condition when it has
reached the end of its useful life. If this occurs, it is time to replace
the detector.
NOTE: Before replacing the detector, notify your central station 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.
CAUTION
It should be noted that installation, operation, testing and
maintenance of the 5800CO is different than smoke detectors. Per
NFPA 720 section 5.3.7.2 the detector shall not be connected to a zone
that signals a fire condition (i.e. smoke detector zones). Therefore, the
5800CO detector must be programmed as a non-fire zone. See the
control panel's Installation Instructions for the appropriate carbon
monoxide zone type to be programmed.
