Function
The detector detects carbon monoxide (CO) content in confi ned spaces by means of a
sensor. It is designed to alert you to the presence of CO before the condition becomes
critical - that is, before most people experience the symptoms of CO poisoning, so you
have time to solve the problem calmly.
Indications and states of the detector:
After inserting the batteries, the detector sends a preliminary message containing the
measured values of temperature, humidity, light intensity, CO status and fi rmware ver-
sion of the device.
•
The detector scans every 10 seconds, the green LED blinks at the same time (the LED
can be turned off by a DIP switch). Every 10 minutes the detector senses temperature,
humidity and light intensity. It sends the measured and status data report at six hour
intervals.
•
Alarm indication for CO detection:
30 ppm = no alarm signalled within 120 minutes.
50 ppm = alarm signalling within 60-90 minutes.
100 ppm = Alarm signalling within 10-40 minutes.
Above 300 ppm, the detector must declare an alarm within 3 minutes.
•
Alarm - sensor detects CO, red LED flashes at 1 second, detector sounds loud, intermit-
tent “beep”. Terminate alarm by ventilating the CO (fan ...).
•
Dead battery:
- sending a message to the server
- Every 5 seconds 3x the red LED on the detector will flash.
•
Detector failure:
- sending a message to the server
- Indication of the yellow LED on the detector and one short beep every 40 seconds.
•
Removed from base:
- sending a message to the server.
- every 2 seconds the red LED on the detector blinks.
Placement recommendations
• The detector is intended for indoor use.
Therefore, use it exclusively for scanning in
closed, dry and dust-free areas.
• Ensure that the ventilation openings remain
free and do not block it with other applianc-
es, furniture or other objects.
• Place the detector in such a place that the
ambient air can fl ow through the device.
Important Notice
•
The detector can only warn you in time if it is properly installed and properly main-
tained and tested according to the instructions.
• The detector is not suitable as a measuring instrument or part of a device to alert in the
presence of gas, smoke or exhaust gases, or as part of a fi re alarm or similar security
device.
• It does not detect smoke, fi re or other poison gas except carbon monoxide, although
carbon monoxide can arise in a fi re. Therefore, it is advisable to install smoke detectors
for early warning when a fi re occurs.
• WARNING: This detector detects only the presence of carbon monoxide that reaches
the sensor. However, carbon monoxide can occur in other areas.
• It is not intended for verifi cation of normative values.
• The installation of this device does not replace the proper installation, use and mainte-
nance of combustion equipment, including suffi
cient ventilation and exhaust system.
It does not prevent the formation of carbon monoxide, nor can it solve existing prob-
lems with CO.
• For your own safety it is necessary to know the possible sources of CO in your home.
Keep fuel systems and their chimneys and ventilation in good condition.
• Control and regular maintenance of your equipment is very important for your protec-
tion. Contact a licensed vendor or local utility company.
• The detector is not intended for installation in an industrial environment.
• Always be aware of potential dangers, develop safety awareness, and take precautions
to avoid dangers whenever and wherever needed. The detector can reduce the likeli-
hood of catastrophe but cannot guarantee 100% safety.
• Detailed information on the selection, installation, use and maintenance of carbon
monoxide detectors in residential buildings can be found in EN 50292 ED.2.
Information about carbon monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide is a colourless poisonous non-irritating gas without taste and odour;
it prevents the transmission of oxygen in the blood. It is highly toxic to the human body.
It is extremely fl ammable.
In homes, the most common sources of CO equipment are used for heating and cooking.
Sources of dangerous CO concentrations can also be realised from vehicles in adjacent
garages.
CO may arise from the combustion of fossil fuels, such as gasoline, propane, natural gas,
naphtha and wood. It can escape from any defective, improperly installed or poorly ven-
tilated facility.
CO concentrations in air are measured in ppm (parts per million).
At increased concentrations of CO in air (150-220 ppm) within 2-3 hours headache, dizzi-
ness, nausea, blunted thinking and congestion in the face occurs, longer exposure is life
threatening. Concentrations of about 400 ppm show confusion, vomiting, drowsiness
moving to unconsciousness and life-threatening condition can occur after 2-3 hours of
remaining in this environment. Higher concentrations are manifested by convulsions,
unconsciousness with breathlessness, shock, and the person is in direct danger to life.
Because carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison, its long-term exposure at low con-
centrations can cause symptoms of poisoning as well as short-term exposure at high
concentrations. Remember the early symptoms of CO poisoning, and if there are any
suspicions of poisoning, move out to fresh air and call for help.
We recommend that you take special precautions to protect people with the highest
risk, as symptoms of poisoning may already occur with less CO than with a healthy adult.
In the event of uncertainty, consult a physician.

Appropriate location
• Carbon monoxide has the same density as the air in the room
and is therefore uniformly dispersed. However, since CO orig-
inates as a product of an incomplete combustion process, it
is very likely that it will have a higher temperature than the
ambient air and will therefore slowly climb to the ceiling. De-
tector location is useful at a height of about 1.6 m above the
fl oor.
- If you attach the device to a wall, it must be higher than the
top edge of the window and door but at least 15 cm below the ceiling.
- If you attach the device to the ceiling, it must be at least 30 cm from each wall
- If the ceiling is inclined, place the device in the upper part of the room
• To increase security, detectors should be installed in any room with a fuel-burning ap-
pliance (gas, wood, coal, etc.) 2-3 meters away from the CO source (boiler, fi replace,
water heater ...).
• Warning sound of the detector must be heard in the bedroom and rooms where you
regularly spend time.
• In one-room sleeping and living rooms at the same time, such as studios, caravans or
boats, the detector should be placed as near as possible to the sleeping area and as far
as possible from the stove or combustion point.
• It is recommended that the CO detector be installed on each fl oor of a multi-storey
house (e.g. CO in the cellar may not reach the alarm on the 1st fl oor).
Inappropriate location
• In areas with limited air circulation e.g.: vestibule, niches, etc.
• In places where there is a sudden change in temperature or humidity. Where conden-
sation occurs.
• In close proximity to windows, doors, ventilation devices,
• In direct proximity to persons or animals.
• In direct sunlight or near a heat source.
• Do not place in a kitchen, garage or boiler room so that the sensor could come into
contact with substances that could destroy or contaminate it.
• Do not place near ventilation ducts, smoke fl ues, chimneys, or any air vents.
• Do not place in areas with fi xed air such as tops of arched ceilings or shielded roofs,
where the CO may not have reached the sensor suffi
ciently quickly to alert you.
• Do not place this device near large batteries. Large batteries have emissions that can
reduce the detector’s operational capability.

Testing the detector
Long press the test button to start the detector test. During the test, the green LED
fl ashes (two fl ashes every second). The siren’s activity is fi rst tested - a long tone sounds.
After a successful test, the detector fl ashes and beeps three times. The application will
automatically send a message about the successful completion of the test.
If the detector does not signal properly, check the correct detector assembly, the battery
location, replace the batteries, and then repeat the test.
WARNING
Every detector must be tested regularly to ensure that it is properly installed and work-
ing properly.
•
Test the detectors regularly at least once a week.
•
When testing the device, keep the distance from the detector to the length of your arm
or use hearing protection.
•
Teach children to avoid touching the detector or interfering with the device. Warn the
children against the risk of poisoning with carbon monoxide.
•
Keep the detector clean.
•
If it does not work properly, replace it immediately.
