USING THE SILENCE FEATURE
NEVER disconnect the power to your CO Alarm
to silence the hornuse the silence feature.
Disconnecting the CO Alarm removes your
protection! See previous page for details on
responding to an alarm.
The Silence feature is intended to temporarily silence
your CO Alarms alarm horn while you correct the
problemit will not correct a CO problem. While the
alarm is silenced, it will continue to monitor the air for
CO.
When CO reaches the Alarm level, it will
sound repeating horn pattern: 4 beeps, a pause, 4
beeps, etc. Press and hold the Test/Silence button
until the horn is silent. The Silence cycle will last
approximately 4 minutes.
To silence an interconnected series of Alarms, you
must press the Test/Silence button on the initiating
alarm (the unit with the flashing red light). If you press
the Test/Silence on any other Alarm, it will only
silence that unit, not the whole interconnected series.
NOTE: After the 4-minute silence cycle, the CO Alarm
re-evaluates present CO levels and responds accord-
ingly. If CO levels remain potentially dangerousor
start rising higherthe horn will start sounding again.
While the CO Alarm is silenced:
If the CO Alarm...is silent for only 4 minutes, then starts
sounding loudly4 beeps, then a pause, 4 beeps, then
a pause. Red light (LED) continues flashing...
This means...CO levels are still potentially dangerous.
If the CO Alarm...remains silent....
This means...unit has returned to normal operation.
