Installing the detector - wall-mounting NOTE: THIS ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON AND IS TO BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1. Drill two holes in a wall 9cm apart (you may wish to use the backplate for guidance). 2. Insert the two rawl-plugs, that are supplied, into the holes. 3. Insert the two screws as supplied into the holes ensuring enough of the screw s ticks out of the wall (approx. 8mm). 4. Hook the rear over the screws (as shown below). 5. Tighten screws. 6. Hook in and clip on the front of the detector. 7. Tighten screw. 1. What is carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has no taste, colour or smell. Potential Sources of CO • Wood-burning stoves • Gas boilers and fires • Gas Hobs • Oil and coal burning appliances • Portable gas heaters • Blocked flues and chimneys • Fumes from integral garages • Barbecues This CO alarm is no substitute for proper maintenance of your appliances. Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly burning appliances or from blocked flues and chimneys. If your alarm has sounded and you have ventilated the room the CO may have dispersed before help arrives. It is crucial that the source of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out. Carbon monoxide is a cumulati ve poison meaning long-term exposure to low levels may cause symptoms. The Premier Elite CO-W is time-weighted - the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm. 2. Alarm levels as defined by EN50291-2010 The table below shows the response times at which the Premier Elite CO-W alarm will sound; Alarm response times (as prescribed by EN 50291-1): CO Concentration Alarm Delay 50 ppm 60 - 90 minutes 100 ppm 10 - 40 minutes 300 ppm Less than 3 minutes CO advice and information The table below shows the effects of different levels of CO poisoning on the body; Parts per million Affects on adults 100 ppm Slight headache, nausea, fati gue 200 ppm Dizziness and headache within 2-3 hours 400 ppm Nausea, frontal headache, drowsiness, confusion and rapid heart rate. Risk to life after over 3 hours of exposure 800 ppm Severe headaches, convulsions, vital organ failures. Death possible within 2-3 hours 5. Learning the device to the alarm system (optional) The CO-W operates either as a stand alone alarm or it can be connected to a Texecom Premier Elite wireless alarm system. Do not insert the batteries until you are ready to learn the device to the system. Battery connection will automatically start the learning sequence. Device reverts back to programmed network if receiver is not in learn mode (when replacing battery). For wireless connectivity, detailed programming and system set-up instructions please refer to the compatible Ricochet technology enabled Premier Elite wireless expander/wireless control panel instructions. The Premier Elite CO-W is only compatible with Premier Elite control panels V3.01.02 and above. The CO-W has a tamper detection facility that will report to the Texecom alarm panel when the product has been opened. 3. Mounting locations Recommended locations Not recommended Install the alarm at a horizontal distance of between 1m and 3m from fuel burning appliances. Do not install next to a door, window, extractor fan or air vent. Away from draughts, such as doors and windows Do not wall-mount close to obstructi ons (e.g. behind curtains, shelving or furniture) Within hearing distance of bedrooms.* If a heati ng appliance is in the bedroom place the alarm at sleeping height Do not fit in dusty, dirty or greasy areas (e.g. garages or workshops) If wall-mounti ng, install at eye- level (approx 1.5m), and at least 30cm from adjoining walls or ceiling Do not wall-mount within 30cm of the ceiling as this is a “dead air” space If free-standing, the unit should be placed no more than 1 metre from the ground (to avoid permanent damage in case accidentally knocked) Avoid humid (bathrooms), cold (< 4°C) or hot (>40°C) areas and away from sinks *It is recommended that at least one Premier Elite CO-W carbon monoxide alarm is installed on each level of the home. 1 2 7. Installing the detector - free-standing NOTE: THIS ALARM MUST BE INSTALLED BY A COMPETENT PERSON AND IS TO BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1. Lift out the stand, on the back of the detector, from the bottom and click into place (as shown below). 2. Position the detector no more than 1 meter from the floor (to minimize the risk of the detector being permanently damaged should it be knocked to the floor from a greater height). 3. Make sure the detector is in the upright position and not lying flat on the surface. Opening the detector 1. Unscrew the screw on the underside of the detector. 2. Un-clip the front of the detector from the backplate. TOP

WARNING! Activation of the alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide (CO) which can kill you. If the alarm sounds (0.5 seconds on, 0.5 seconds off and flashing red light): • Keep calm and open the doors and windows to ventilate the property. • Stop using all fuel burning appliances and ensure, if possible, that they are turned off. • Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open. • Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning (headache, nausea), and advise that carbon monoxide poisoning is suspected. • Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number; keep the number in a prominent place. • Write your fuel supplier’s emergency number here (see below for more useful numbers): • Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped. When exposed to fresh air it can take up to 10 minutes for the sensor to clear and the alarm to stop depending on the level of carbon monoxide detected. • Do not use the appliances again until they have been checked by an expert. In the case of gas appliances the engineer must be registered. The Premier CO-W is protected by UK & International Registered Designs.

Test button sequence The test button should be pressed every week. The detector will emit short chirps for about 5 seconds, and the green light will flash every 10 seconds for 4 minutes. During this time the detector will be more sensitive to detection of CO gas and will alarm at a lower concentration level. The detector will also generate a fault signal (two tone chirp every minute) if a fault is identified on the sensor. Further activation of the test button is disabled until the four minutes have expired. 12. Alarm sequence On detecting an unsafe level of CO, the detector will sound 0.5s on, 0.5s off. The red light will flash once every two seconds. 14. Maintenance of your alarm • Test every week. • Vacuum regularly to remove dust. • Keep away from solvents or detergents and nappy buckets. • Avoid spraying air-freshener, hair-spray near the alarm. • Do not paint the alarm. If decorating or using adhesives close to the alarm, remove it temporarily. • Annually check the installation date to see if the it’s within sensor life (10 years). If not, replace the unit. The following substances can affect the sensor and cause false alarms: Methane, Propane, Iso-butane, Iso-propanol, Ethylene, Benzene, Toluene, Ethyl acetate, Hydrogen Sulphide, Hydrogen, Sulphur Dioxide, alcohol based products, paints, thinners, solvents, adhesives, hair-sprays, aftershaves or perfumes and some cleaning agents. 15.
