Thank you for purchasing our products. Please read the instruction manual and maintenance guide before use. The producer is not responsible for damage resulting from incorrect installation or operation of the device. Carbon monoxide alarm SC\1B constantly monitors the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the air. When the maximum safe concentration of this gas is exceeded, the device triggers optical and audible alarms. Technical data Types of detected gases

≤8 µA
Allowable relative humidity
15% - 90% RH
Detector type
electrochemical
Alarm format
a series of 4 short signals at 0.5 sec. interval, and LED signalling
Alarm volume
≥ 85dB / 1m
Tested alarm concentration
300 ppm, alarm below 3 minutes

INSTALLATION SC\1B sensor is intended for use in the rooms where the potential risk resulting from the dangerous concentration of carbon monoxide is the highest. The device is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, boiler rooms, garages etc. When installing the sensor make sure it will be heard from other rooms in the building as well. Carbon monoxide mixed with carbon dioxide is thicker than the air so it is recommended to install the sensor in the lower part of a wall. The recommended installation height for bedrooms is 0.5m above the floor. The optimal installation height for other rooms is 1.5m above the floor. 1. Separate the mounting base from the body of the device by turning it anti-clockwise. 2. Insert two AAA 1.5V batteries into the device. 3. Test the device by pressing the button on the cover for a few seconds. If the device works properly, interrupted signals should be heard from the speaker. 4. Mark 2 spots for mounting bolts in the desired location, using the 2 holes in the mounting base. Then, drill 2 holes of the proper diameter in the wall and insert the mounting bolts (included). Mount the base on the wall using the screws. Attach the body of the device to the base using 2 hooks in the body, matching the two oblong holes of the corresponding size, located in the base. When the elements are fitted turn the body to the right. 5. Press the TEST button at the side of the cover. The device will run the test procedure, testing the audible signalization of the alarm. If the signal is "beep" 0.5 s - pause - 0.5 s etc., and the red LED is not blinking or is constantly lit, this means that the device is damaged. Contact the technical support of the importer.
IN CASE OF ALARM Turn off the gas supply, shut off the stove. Open the doors and windows. Before you leave, check if anyone has left in the room. Then leave the room and do not return. Call the rescue service for help (gas service, fire brigade, etc.).

USE 1. At least once per month run the device test using "Test / Hush" button. 2. Remove the dust from the device cover. 3. When the battery is almost empty it will be indicated with a single audible sound and the red "Alarm" LED which will blink at approx. 40 sec. interval. The battery should be immediately replaced. 4. The self-diagnostic system allows to check for a potential malfunctioning of the device. In that case the device will trigger an audible alarm (one signal every 30 sec.) and an optical alarm - indicated by a flashing "Fault" LED.
PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE Remember that because of technical restrictions (e.g. device malfunction, low battery) and the installation location, carbon monoxide sensors do not guarantee in 100% the detection of carbon monoxide but increase the probability of early detection of the dangerous concentration. It is important to test the device as specified in the manual and to check periodically the chimney and ventilation ducts which can be the source of carbon monoxide. The average service time of the installed sensor is approx. 5 years from the first use of the device. After that time the sensitivity of the sensor can decrease dramatically. 1. Make sure the air vents in the cover are not blocked with dust or other substances. 2. Remove the dust from the device cover. Do not install the detector in the locations where the humidity or dustiness are high or where the temperature exceeds the range of working temperatures. 3. Do not paint the device. Before painting the walls of the room where the alarm is installed, it must be removed and reinstalled when the paint is dry. 4. Do not install the detector near windows, fans, heat sources, or in locations where the leaking gas may disappear quickly. 5. Test the device once per month. 6. Do not repair the device on your own

PRACTICAL INFORMATION Carbon monoxide is a very difficult gas for detection by a human because it is colourless and odourless. It is poorly water-soluble, and its density is lower than the air. Together with carbon dioxide, it is a product of burning the fuels, which makes the combined density of the combustion gases higher than the air, so they accumulate in the lower parts of the rooms. There is no exact value above which the concentration of carbon monoxide is dangerous. It depends on the time of inhaling the gas. Inhaling the carbon monoxide at 200 ppm for 2-3 hours will cause a light headache, nausea and dizziness. The concentration of 12800 ppm will cause death in 1-3 minutes. *ppm - number of carbon monoxide molecules in 1 million molecules of the air
