u Solid state sensor provides maintenance-free
operation
The FCC‑380 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector
(Macurco CM-E1) detects CO concentrations in the air
at or below the UL 2034 sensitivity limits for CO
exposure and before symptoms of CO exposure
appear. It alerts personnel to possible exposure
through audible and visual alarms.
Install the detector in rooms adjacent to areas where
CO concentrations are expected (garages or furnace
rooms). Prime application locations include work
areas or bedrooms.
Notice
Do not install the detector in areas where CO
concentrations are expected (garages or furnace
rooms).
Notice
The detector is not designed to detect smoke,
fire, heat, or other gases (combustible or noncombustible).
u Microcomputer control provides virtual automatic
operation
u 9 VDC to 32 VDC operation is compatible with 12‑V
and 24-V systems
u Can quickly test CO sensor on site
u Three-color LED status display
Functions
LED Display
The CO detector’s three-color visual LED display
indicates status and contamination level. A green
display indicates the detector is operating normally.
An amber display indicates a system trouble. A red
display indicates dangerous CO levels.
Operation Choices
Alarm System Operation
The CO detector can function as part of an alarm
system and connects to an alarm control panel
through either a normally-open or normally-closed
initiating circuit. If the carbon monoxide detector is
connected to an alarm control panel, the control panel
must provide an alarm for CO that is distinct from
alarms for fire or intrusion.
Stand-Alone Alarm Operation
The CO detector can function as a stand-alone device
using its internal alarm (repeated loud tone bursts
during alarm and chirps if sensor trouble is found).
Stand-alone operation was not evaluated by
Underwriters Laboratories.

Installation/configuration notes
Compatibility Information
The carbon monoxide detector is compatible with all
UL Listed control panels that have 12 VDC to 24 VDC
power and alarm initiating circuits. The detector can
also be used with a UL Listed Class 2 power supply.
Mounting Considerations
There are two usual sources of CO - defective heat
sources (furnaces or wood burning stoves) and
automobiles running in adjoining garages. The detector
can detect CO from these sources, as well as any
other sources of CO. For best operation, mount a
detector in the hallway near each bedroom or office
area. In addition, another detector can be mounted
just inside the door from the adjoining garage.
Consider placing another detector in a bedroom or
office that is adjacent to a furnace room. The detector
may be installed on either a ceiling or a wall. If
installed on a peaked, gabled, or sloped ceiling, it
should be located about 3 ft (1 m) from the highest
point. The unit can be placed vertically or horizontally
on a wall, so the information on the front of the
detector can be read in a normal manner (not upside
down). Do not mount the detector in a corner. Use the
same spacing as for smoke detectors – 30 ft (9 m)
centers, 900 ft2 (84 m2) per detector.
Wiring Considerations
