1. IMPOR T ANT INFORMA TION W ARNING: The Alar m should be per manently wired to the mains b y a qualified electr ician in accordance with IEE wiring regulations (BS7671). Install a Carbon Mono xide (CO) Alar m in e v er y room that contains a fuel burning appliance, par ticular ly rooms where people spend a lot of time e.
WHA T T O DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS: (1) Open the doors and windows to v entilate the area. (2) T ur n off all fuel appliances where possib le. (The alar m can be silenced immediately b y pushing the T est/Hush button). (3) Ev acuate the proper ty lea ving the doors and windows open.
The CO Alar m is no substitute f or k eeping chimneys and flues clear and in good condition, and all of y our appliances ser viced regular ly according to the manuf acturer’ s instructions. Do not fit alar m until all b uilding work is completed to av oid contamination.
A low le vel f or a long period (e.g. 150 ppm f or 90 min utes) can cause the same symptoms (a slight headache) as a high le v el of CO f or a shor t period (e.g. 350 ppm CO f or 30 minutes). T able A sho ws how e xposure to diff erent concentrations of CO gener ally aff ects people.
2.3 WHA T HAPPENS WHEN Y OUR CO ALARM DETECTS CARBON MONO XIDE ? When the Alar m detects potentally dangerous le v els of CO , it flashes the red alar m light and then sounds a loud alar m if the CO persists. The digital displa y (Model Ei261DENRC only) indicates the CO le v el in par ts per million (ppm) CO .
NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM Pre-Alarm: When the alar m detects ov er 50ppm CO the red light flashes e v er y 2 seconds. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit giv es an indication straight a wa y (without this f eature the CO le v el would need to be at 50ppm CO f or 90 minutes f or the horn to sound).
3. ALARM POSITIONING 3.1 IDEALL Y A CARBON MONO XIDE (CO) ALARM SHOULD BE INST ALLED IN: - Ev er y room containing a fuel burning appliance - Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerab le amount .
- In an enclosed space (e .g. in or below a cupboard) - In a damp or humid area - Directly abo v e a sink or cooker - Ne xt to a door , window , air vent or an ywhere that it would be aff ected by draughts - Ne xt to an extr actor f an - Where it w ould be obstr ucted, e.
- If there is a par tition in the room, the CO Alar m should be located on the same side of the par tition as the potential source - In rooms with sloped ceilings, the CO Alarm should be located at the high side of the room (see Figure 3 ) 3.

15 4. INST ALLA TION The Alar m is designed to be per manently mounted, using its own b uilt-in ter minal b lock to connect it to the mains wiring. The mounting plate can be scre wed directly to the ceiling/wall. Alter nativ ely it can be scre wed to a standard junction bo x (BS 4662 single gang accessor y bo x).
The Alar m must not be connected when the house wiring insulation is being check ed with high V oltages i.e. do not use an insulation tester on the alar m. Do not use the CO Alar m on an inter mittent basis, or as a por tab le detector f or the spillage of comb ustion products from fuel burning appliances or chimneys .
W e strongly recommend that y ou check f or the f ollo wing before connecting the alarm : • chec k f or Live and Neutr al using a two probe tester . • chec k f or Live using a neon tester . • chec k that the Interconnect wire is NO T connected to Liv e, Neutr al or Ear th.
11. Connect the mains pow er to the alar m circuit. Check the g reen light is on. The CO Alar m is now fully oper ational and will provide protection against a b uild up of Carbon Mono xide gas 70 seconds after it is connected to the mains supply . 12.
4.1 INTERCONNECTING With interconnected alar ms, when one unit detects CO all units alarm. All hor ns will sound but only units detecting CO will flash their red lights. A maximum of tw elve Ei261ENRC/261DENRC CO Alarms may be interconnected along with an Ei128RBU & Ei128CO V rela y module (see “A CCESSORIES” on page 32).
A maximum of 250 metres (820 ft) of wire can be used (maxim um resistance between detectors 50 Ohms). Connect as shown in Figure 7 . Alar ms should be interconnected only within the confines of a single f amily living unit. If they are connected between diff erent units there ma y be e xcessiv e nuisance alarms.
chec king circuit has detected a f ault. Press and hold the T est/Hush button. If the amber light flashes without the hor n sounding, the sensor is f aulty .
The Fast CO T est Mode nor mally does not activate the memory function unless a high lev el of CO remains in the sensor f or a f e w minutes. (This can be check ed b y pressing the T est/Hush button.
HO W T O DISCONNECT AND REMO VE THE ALARM: (1) Disconnect the mains supply to the CO Alar m circuit at the distribution/fuse board. (2) Remov e tamper proofing scre w if fitted (see Figure 1 ). (3) Release catch (as shown in Figure 1 ) and slide unit off mounting plate .
Note: When the second sensor has completed its 5 y ears of operation the amber light will flash e v er y 40 seconds. The sensor module can only be replaced once. The entire unit must be replaced after 10 y ears . The date f or replacing the entire unit is giv en on the ‘REPLA CE UNIT BY’ label on the alar m.
- CO Alar ms are not suitab le as ear ly warning Smoke Alarms. Some fires produce Carbon Monoxide , but the response characteristics of these CO Alar ms are such that they w ould not giv e sufficient war ning of fire. Smoke Alarms must be fitted to giv e ear ly w ar ning of fire.
- These appliances must “breathe in” air to bur n the fuel properly . Know where the air comes from and ensure v ents/air br ic ks etc. remain unobstructed (par ticular ly after building w ork). - The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimne y .
10. GETTING Y OUR CO ALARM SER VICED If y our CO Alar m f ails to work after you ha ve carefully read all the instructions, chec k ed the unit has been installed correctly , and is receiving A C power , retur n it f or repair or replacement.

CO Alar m Memor y: : A unit will indicate if it has been in alar m pre viously b y flashing the red light f or 2 seconds e v er y 40 seconds (2 flashes f or 50 ppm CO , 4 flashes f or 100 ppm CO and 8 flashes, f or 300 ppm CO).
- Press the T est/Hush button f or appro ximately 20 seconds to reset the unit. If the beeping and the amber light flashing re-occurs replace the sensor module. 3. ALARM BEEPS EVER Y 40 SECONDS (without amber light flashing): - Rechargeab le cells depleted.
Alter nativ ely , if an optional Ei1529RC Remote Control is fitted, pressing the LOCA TE switch when all alar ms are sounding will silence all alar ms apar t from the alar m that is sensing CO/Smoke/Heat. This area can then be saf ely in vestigated and if determined that it is a f alse alar m, press the HUSH s witch to silence the alar m.
