LATCHING ALARM:
Unit was exposed
to alarm levels of CO
LATCHING NOT ACTIVATED:
Unit was not exposed
to alarm levels of CO
KEY:
The Latching Alarm Indicator is activated after
a CO alarm is exposed to alarm levels of carbon
monoxide. After CO levels drop below alarm
levels, the red LED will begin to flash once every
5 seconds. It will continue to flash or “latch”
until you clear it using the test button.
This feature helps emergency responders,
investigators, or service technicians identify
which unit(s) in your home were exposed to
alarm levels of carbon monoxide. This can help
investigators pinpoint the source of CO.
Non-Interconnected or Stand-Alone Alarm
Latching Alarm Indicator shows that the unit
was exposed to alarm levels of CO.
Interconnected Alarms
Latching Alarm Indicator shows which alarm(s)
in the series were exposed to alarm levels of
carbon monoxide.
The Latching Alarm Indicator stays ON until
you clear it, so it can alert you to a CO alarm
that occurred while you were away from home,
even though CO present in the air has dropped
below alarm levels.
