3.2 Quraşdırma yerinin seçilməsi

For optimal performance and safety, select a location where the alarm can be heard from all sleeping areas. If installing only one CO alarm, place it near bedrooms. For multi-level homes, install at least one CO alarm on each level. Avoid placing the detector:

  • Directly above or next to fuel-burning appliances.
  • In areas with high humidity (e.g., bathrooms).
  • Birbaşa günəş işığında və ya istilik mənbələrinin yaxınlığında.
  • In areas with strong air currents (e.g., near windows, doors, or vents).
  • Where it can be easily painted or obstructed.

3.3 Detektorun quraşdırılması

The Siterwell CO Detector can be wall-mounted or placed freestanding on a flat surface.

  • Divar montajı:
    1. Use the provided mounting plate as a template to mark the position of two screw holes on the wall.
    2. Drill two holes of 5mm diameter at the marked positions.
    3. Insert the two expansion capsules (wall anchors) into the drilled holes.
    4. Fix the mounting plate to the wall using the provided 3mm diameter screws.
    5. Align the detector with the mounting plate and slide it down to secure it.
  • Müstəqil yerləşdirmə:

    Simply place the detector on a stable, flat surface at eye level, ensuring it is not obstructed and is in a location where the alarm can be easily heard.

4. Əməliyyat Təlimatları

4.1 Yandırma və özünü sınama

After battery activation, the detector will perform a self-test. The LCD display will show "888" and then count down, indicating it is initializing. Once complete, it will display "0 PPM" (parts per million) and the green POWER LED will flash every 40 seconds, indicating normal operation.

4.2 LED Indicators and LCD Display

The detector features a clear LCD screen and three LED indicators to provide status information:

  • Green POWER LED: Flashes every 40 seconds to indicate the device is powered on and functioning correctly.
  • Yellow FAULT LED: Illuminates to indicate a fault or warning status with the CO alarm.
  • Red ALARM LED: Flashes simultaneously with the audible alarm to indicate a dangerous level of CO.
  • LCD displey: Shows real-time CO concentration in PPM. In normal standby, it cycles between CO concentration and temperature. It also displays "LB" for low battery, "ERR" for error, or "EOL" for end of life.

4.3 CO Alarm Warning

When the detector senses a dangerous level of CO, it will emit a loud alarm pattern: 4 quick beeps followed by 5 seconds of silence. This cycle repeats as long as a dangerous CO condition exists. The red ALARM LED will flash simultaneously. The LCD will display the CO concentration.

Sensitivity Settings (Conforms to UL2034 standard):

  • 30 PPM: No alarm before 30 days.
  • 70 PPM: Between 60 to 240 minutes.
  • 150 PPM: Between 10 to 50 minutes.
  • 400 PPM: Between 4 to 15 minutes.

4.4 Test/Səssiz düyməsi

Press and hold the TEST/SILENCE button to test the unit. The alarm will sound, and the LEDs will flash. To silence a nuisance alarm, press the button briefly.

5.1 Müntəzəm sınaq

Test your CO detector weekly by pressing and holding the TEST/SILENCE button until the alarm sounds. This confirms the unit's electronics, battery, and horn are working.

5.2 Təmizləmə

Clean your CO detector at least once a month. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use cleaning solvents or spray cleaners directly on the unit. Avoid painting the detector, as this can interfere with the sensor's operation.

5.3 Batareyanın dəyişdirilməsi

The detector is designed for a 10-year product life with its included AA alkaline batteries. When the batteries are low, the LCD will display "LB" and the unit will chirp. Replace both AA alkaline batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection.
