safety & security

NORMAL OPERATION OF THE ALARM
When the detector is activated the Power
LED will begin to flash green once every
minute to indicate that the detector is
receiving power from the power pack and is
fully operational.
TESTING THE ALARM
Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry
by pressing and holding the centre of the
Test/Reset button briefly to confirm that
the detector is operating properly. The
sounder will sound as soon as the button is
pressed, and the Alarm LED will illuminate
red indicating that the sounder is working
and the power pack is providing power to
the unit. This test for the sounder, power
pack and circuitry should be performed on a
weekly basis. This should be continued for
the lifetime of the product.

WARNING:

Prolonged exposure to the

sounder in close proximity to your ears
may damage your hearing. Under normal
operating conditions, the power pack will
last for the lifetime of the product i.e 7 years.
The detector will not protect against the risk
of carbon monoxide poisoning when the
power pack has drained

SENSOR TESTING.
The alarm manufacturer recommends that
this is carried out monthly. See of the CO-9X
user manual for more details.
CO ALARM OPERATION WHEN CO

DETECTED
The higher the concentration of carbon
monoxide detected by the detector, the
quicker it will respond. When sufficient
carbon monoxide is detected a loud audible
signal (85 dB at 1m (3 feet)) will be emitted
and the Alarm LED will flash red once every
second.
The Alarm will sound:
• Between 60 and 90 minutes when exposed

to a minimum of 50ppm of CO.

• Between 10 and 40 minutes when exposed

to a minimum of 100ppm of CO.

• Within 3 minutes when exposed to a

minimum of 300ppm of CO.

FAULT / LOW POWER PACK SIGNAL:
The unit continuously checks the settings
of its sensor and circuitry. If any of these
settings are found to be incorrect or if the
power pack becomes low then the detector
will emit a single chirp once per minute and
the Fault LED will flash yellow once per
minute for up to 30 days.

IMPORTANT:

This does NOT mean that

the detector has detected carbon monoxide.

MAINTENANCE
Your detector will alert you to potentially
hazardous CO concentrations in your
motorhome when maintained properly.
To maintain your FireAngel detector in proper
working order, and to ensure that the sensor
will last for the lifetime of the product, it is
recommended that you:
• Test the sounder, power pack and circuitry

of your detector at least once per week by
pressing the Test/Reset button briefly (see
above).

• Perform the Sensor Test once every month

(See of the CO-9X user manual for more
details).

• Keep the detector free of dust by gently

vacuuming the case with a soft brush
attachment once per month.

To prevent the possibility of contaminating
the sensor in your detector and thus
affecting its reliability:
• Never use cleaning solutions on your

detector. Simply wipe with a slightly damp
cloth.

• Do not paint the detector.
• Do not spray aerosols on or near the

detector.

• Do not use any solvent based products

near the detector.
