First Alert CO410 Carbon Monoxide Detector Alarm User Manual

1. ആമുഖം

The First Alert CO410 Carbon Monoxide Alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO) gas, a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be deadly. This battery-operated unit provides continuous monitoring of CO levels, even during power outages, and features a backlit digital display for easy viewing of current and peak CO concentrations. An 85-decibel alarm sounds when CO levels reach dangerous thresholds. The device includes an EZ access battery door for convenient battery changes and an optional wall mount for flexible placement.

2 പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട സുരക്ഷാ വിവരങ്ങൾ

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels. It is impossible to detect with human senses. CO alarms are crucial for early warning of CO presence. This device is intended to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source of combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke or fire.

Sources of Carbon Monoxide:

• Unvented gas or kerosene heaters
• Leaking chimneys or furnaces
• Gas ranges, water heaters, clothes dryers
• പോർട്ടബിൾ ജനറേറ്ററുകൾ
• Fireplaces, wood-burning stoves
• Automobiles running in an attached garage

4. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

4.1. ഡിജിറ്റൽ ഡിസ്പ്ലേ

The backlit digital display shows the current carbon monoxide concentration in parts per million (PPM). In normal operation, it may show "0 PPM" or a low background level. The display will illuminate when a button is pressed or during an alarm event.

4.2. Test/Silence Button

അമർത്തിപ്പിടിക്കുക ടെസ്റ്റ്/സൈലൻസ് button to test the alarm's functionality. The alarm will sound a loud 85-decibel horn, and the display will show a test pattern. Release the button to stop the test. This button can also silence a non-threatening alarm or a low battery warning chirp.

4.3. Peak Level Memory

അമർത്തുക പീക്ക് ലെവൽ എന്നതിലേക്കുള്ള ബട്ടൺ view the highest CO concentration detected by the alarm since its last reset or power-up. This feature is useful for monitoring potential intermittent CO issues. The peak level will be displayed in PPM.

5. പരിപാലനം

5.1. പതിവ് പരിശോധനകൾ

Test your CO alarm weekly by pressing the ടെസ്റ്റ്/സൈലൻസ് button. This ensures the unit is functioning correctly. If the alarm does not sound during the test, replace the unit immediately.

5.2. ബാറ്ററി മാറ്റിസ്ഥാപിക്കൽ

The CO410 uses two (2) AA batteries. When the batteries are low, the unit will chirp periodically and display a low battery indicator. Replace batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection. Use only recommended alkaline batteries.

5.3. End-of-Life Warning

The CO410 has a 7-year limited warranty and is designed to last approximately 7 years. After this period, the unit will emit an end-of-life signal chirp, indicating it's time to replace the entire alarm for continued safety.

6. പ്ലേസ്മെന്റ് മാർഗ്ഗനിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

For optimal protection, install carbon monoxide alarms on every level of your home and in each sleeping area. Consider placing additional alarms near potential CO sources like furnaces, water heaters, and attached garages.

7. What to Do in Case of an Alarm

If the carbon monoxide alarm sounds:

1. Immediately move to fresh air outdoors or open all doors and windows.
2. എല്ലാ ആളുകളുടെയും വിവരങ്ങൾ ലഭ്യമായിട്ടുണ്ടോ എന്ന് പരിശോധിക്കാൻ ഒരു ഹെഡ് കൗണ്ട് നടത്തുക.
3. Do not re-enter the premises until the building has been aired out and the alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. നിങ്ങളുടെ അടിയന്തര സേവനങ്ങളെ വിളിക്കുക (അഗ്നിശമനസേന അല്ലെങ്കിൽ 911).
5. Call a qualified appliance technician to investigate the source of CO from fuel-burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment.

8. പ്രശ്‌നപരിഹാരം

• ഇടയ്ക്കിടെ അലാറം ചിലയ്ക്കുന്നു: This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the batteries immediately.
• Alarm Does Not Sound During Test: Ensure batteries are correctly installed and fresh. If the issue persists, the unit may be faulty and requires replacement.
• ക്രമരഹിതമായ വായനകൾ: Ensure the alarm is not placed near vents, windows, or in areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures, which can affect sensor performance.
• Alarm Sounds Without Apparent CO: Evacuate the premises and call emergency services. Even low levels of CO can be dangerous.
