FUNCTIONAL GAS TEST
The CO5-SS has a functional gas test mode which can be used to verify
the detector’s ability to sense carbon monoxide gas.
NOTE: Check with local codes and the AHJ to determine whether or not
a functional gas test is desired for an installation.
A canned CO testing agent may be used to verify the [model #] ability
to sense CO by utilizing the functional gas test mode. To perform the
functional gas test, follow these steps:
1. With a small screwdriver, depress and hold the recessed “Test”
switch for approximately 2 seconds. The detector will temporarily
go into alarm and the red LED will illuminate.
2. Within a few seconds the green LED will start to blink rapidly indi-
cating the detector is in a speed up, functional test mode awaiting
gas entry.
3. Spray a very small amount of Solo brand C6 canned CO into one of
the 3 small gas entry holes located on the top center of the detector.
4. Upon successful gas entry and if functioning properly, the detector
will alarm by sounding in a Temporal 4 pattern with the red LED
blinking. An alarm signal will be sent to the Silent Call Receiver
providing verifi cation of alarm signal.
5. The alarm condition at the detector will time out in 20 to 60 seconds
or when the CO gas has cleared.
6. If gas entry is unsuccessful, the test will time out after 27 seconds.
