Installation Instructions

 Walk Test
Test the Carbon Monoxide Detector signal range using the Walk Test function.
Step 1 Put the Control Panel into Walk Test mode. Refer to panel manual for detail.
Step 2 Press the Learn/Test button to transmit a signal. The Red LED will flash once with a beep. If
the Red LED does not flash and no beep is heard, it means the detector is out of order or the
battery has exhausted.
Step 3 If the Control Panel successfully receives the signal, it will display device signal strength
accordingly. Exit Walk Test mode to complete test. If the signal is not received, it means the
panel is outside Carbon Monoxide detector signal range. Please relocate the detector and try
again.
 Installation Guideline
It is recommended to install the Carbon Monoxide Detector in following locations.
 Install the Carbon Monoxide Detector in your bedrooms to protect your safety.
 For houses with garage, also mount near the internal door to garage and the room above the
garage for protection in case when car engin is not turned off.
Avoid mounting in following locations:
 Inside kitchen and garage – to avoid false alarm
 Corner or location with stagnant air – to avoid false alarm
 Fireplace – Keep at least 4.5 meters of distance to avoid false alarm.
 Installation
(It is recommended that CO-8 should be installed by a competent person).
A mounting bracket is provided in the package for mounting the Carbon Monoxide Detector on the wall.
Step 1. Put the Carbon Monoxide Detector at desired installation location, use the Walk Test function
to confirm signal strength is satisfactory.
Step 2. Use the mounting bracket as template to mark the two holes on the wall at chosen location for
installing screws.
Step 3. Screw the mounting bracket onto the wall according to marked location. Install wall plugs if
necessary.
Step 4. Hook the Carbon Monoxide Detector onto the mounting bracket. Installation is now complete.
 Sensor Life and Maintenence
 The Carbon Monoxide Detector uses its built-in electrochemical sensor for Carbon Monoxide
detection. The sensor has approximately 10 years of operation life. Make sure to replace the
device at end of its life span.
 Clean the front cover of the device regularly to avoid dust or debris which may affect air sampling.
Wipe the surface with a cloth dampened with clean water when cleaning, do not use cleaning
agents, detergents or solvents.
 Avoid using aerosols near the device.
 Do not paint the device, the painting may block the detector the vent hole and affects its ability to
sample air.
WARNING
 Prevent CO-8-P2 from colliding or falling that could damage the device.
 This Apparatus is designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of carbon monoxide
exposure. It will not fully safeguard individuals with specific medical conditions. If in doubt consult
a medical practitioner.
 In case of an alarm, promptly hold your breath to prevent inhaling carbon monoxide and open the
doors /windows to clear the air, then leave your premises for safety.
 Exposed to carbon monoxide could result in CO poisoning, causing headaches, dizziness,
vomiting as effects. Inhaling large amount of CO could even result in severe conditions such as
heart rate rises, unconsciousness and respiratory failures even death.
 You must NOT modify the apparatus under any circumstances.
