Carbon Monoxide Detector Manual (SSCO1)

Introduction

The SSCO1 wireless carbon monoxide (CO) detector monitors

the level of CO gas in your home and gives early warning

when a potentially dangerous level exists. It does not detect

fire, smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous concentration of

CO is detected, the red light on the front of the detector turns

on and an internal siren sounds (4 loud beeps followed by a

pause). The CO detector also transmits an alarm signal to a

remote audible siren. The alarm automatically resets when CO

is no longer detected.

The CO detector also monitors low battery, wall tamper, and

sensor end-of-life conditions. These trouble codes are NOT

transmitted to the remote siren.

The SSCO1 is intended for residential indoor applications and

other areas approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

It is not intended for use in industrial applications.

CO Detector location

CO Detectors should be mounted in or near bedrooms and

living areas. Make sure you can hear the alarm from all

sleeping areas. If you install only one CO alarm in your home,

install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.

For maximum protection, install one outside primary sleeping

areas and on each level of your home.

Recommended locations

Dining

Kitchen

Bedroom

Living room

Locations to avoid

To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum

performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:

• Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms.

• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder

than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C).

• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances.

(We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)

• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any

forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

• Do not install on metal surfaces. Avoid mounting in areas

with a large quantity of metal or electrical wires.

• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas

directly exposed to the weather.

• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted

ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the

sensor in time to provide early warning.

• Do not place the alarm where drapes, furniture, or other

objects block the flow of air to the vents.

• Do not install near paint thinner fumes

Installing the CO Detector

Install the CO Detector on a ceiling or wall:

1. Remove the mounting bracket from your unit by rotating it

counterclockwise.

2. Mount the bracket to the ceiling or wall, using the included

screws and wall anchors.

3. Push the CO Detector onto the mounting bracket and turn

it clockwise until it clicks into place. Pull outward on the

alarm to make sure it is securely attached.

Battery installation and replacement

To install or replace the batteries in this alarm:

1. Press the transparent button and flip open the battery

cover to expose the battery compartment.

. Remove the old batteries and properly dispose of them as recommended by the battery manufacturer. 3. Install the new batteries. Note the polarity illustration in the battery compartment. Make sure to carefully seat the red battery warning flags in the recess of the battery well 4. Close the battery cover .The battery cover of your CO alarm will not close if all three AA batteries are not properly installed.

• Mild exposure = Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “flu-like” symptoms). This alarm will not monitor CO levels while in a trouble condition. • Medium exposure = Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. • Extreme exposure = Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, death. The CO alarm can only sense CO that reaches the unit’s sensor. It is possible that CO may be present in other areas without reaching the alarm.
