5.2 светодиодных индикатора

  • Зеленый светодиод: Flashes approximately every 30 seconds, indicating normal operation and sufficient battery power.
  • Красный светодиод: Illuminates and flashes rapidly when the alarm detects dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

5.3 Цифровой дисплей

The digital display continuously shows the detected carbon monoxide levels in PPM. In the absence of CO, it typically displays '0 PPM'.

5.4 Кнопка проверки/сброса

Нажмите и удерживайте Тест / Сброс кнопка для:

  • Test the alarm's electronic circuit and horn. The alarm will sound, and the red LED will flash.
  • Silence a sounding alarm for a short period (if CO levels are not critically high).

5.5 Условия сигнализации

When CO is detected at dangerous levels, the alarm will sound a loud intermittent horn, and the red LED will flash. The digital display will show the detected CO concentration. Follow these steps:

  1. Immediately move to fresh air outdoors or open all doors and windows.
  2. Call emergency services (fire department or 911/local equivalent).
  3. Do not re-enter the premises until it has been aired out and the CO source has been identified and corrected.
