Testing And Monitoring Your Co Alarm - Ei Electronics Ei208 Series Instructions Manual

If necessary it is possible to further secure or tamperproof the Alarm by using
a No.2 or No.4 (2 to 3mm diameter - not supplied) self tapping screw 6 to 8mm
long to firmly lock the Alarm and its mounting plate together (see figure 7).

5. Testing and Monitoring Your CO Alarm

Button Test
It is recommended that you test your CO Alarm after installation (wait 15
seconds after connecting the power) and then once a week to make sure the
Alarm is working. It will also help you and your family to become familiar with
the sound of the Alarm.
Press and hold the test button (see figure 5) until the Alarm sounds (it may take
up to 5 seconds) and the green light flashes. (For Display models, the LCD
will also display the "OK status" icon). The audible alarm will sound at a
diminished sound output level initially and then quickly reach maximum sound
output level. The Alarm will stop sounding shortly after the button is released.
Low Battery Indicator
If the Alarm beeps and the green and amber lights flash simultaneously every
50 seconds, then the batteries are depleted. (For Display models, the LCD will
also display the "Low Battery status" icon).
(For Ei207 Models Only)
Check the Ô Replace byÕ label on the side wall - if it has been exceeded replace
the entire unit. If the Replace byÕ label on the side wall has not been exceeded,
remove the Alarm from the mounting plate, remove the battery cover (see
figure 8) and replace the batteries. Use only the following Alkaline AAA size
batteries: Duracell, Panasonic, or Energizer.
