ATTENTION:

These instructions include information on the installation,
maintenance, and operation of the carbon monoxide (CO)
alarm that is installed in your residence. It is important to read,
to follow,and to keep these instructions in a handy location so
you can refer to them as necessary. A properly installed and
maintained CO alarm is an important part of your residential
safety plan. Therefore, you and your family should read and
follow this manual thoroughly.

Your CO gas detector is operating at all times when it is
connected to its power source. This detector will only operate
when supplied with the stated operating voltage. This detector
is a safety device. It must not be connected in such a way as
to allow it to be switched off by the use of a wall switch or similar
device, or to become disconnected from its power supply due
to the use of a GFCI protected circuit.

In the event you have questions regarding the use of this CO
alarm,call [phone], Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5
p.m. Pacific Standard Time. View our other innovative products

3) Immediately move to fresh air outside, or by an
open door or window. Do a head count to check that
all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the
premises or move away from the open door or
window until the emergency service personnel
have arrived, the premises have been aired out,
and your alarm returns to its normal condition.

4) If your alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period,
repeat above steps and call a qualified appliance
technician.

(telephone number)

Have the technician investigate for sources of CO
from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and
inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If
problems are identified during this inspection, have
the equipment and appliances serviced immedi­ately. Note any combustion equipment or appliance
not inspected by the technician and consult the
manufacturer's instructions, or contact the manu­facturers directly, for more information about CO
safety of this equipment. Make sure that motor
vehicle are not, and have and have not been, oper­ating in an attached garage or adjacent to the resi­dence.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the pres-

ence of carbon monoxide (CO) gas at the sensor. CO
gas may be present in other areas of the residence.

What are the symptoms of carbon

monoxide poisoning?

CO is an odorless, colorless, invisible, tasteless and non­irritating gas that is almost undetectable to your five senses. In
many cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, people report
feeling sick and too disoriented to exit the residence or to call
for assistance. Therefore, it is important to know the symp­toms of exposure to CO that could result in poisoning.

!

WARNING!

Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of

carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU.

When the alarm sounds on this device and the RED Alarm
indicator light flashes, they indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide (CO) which can be FATAL. The alarm will continue
to sound until the carbon monoxide has dissipated or until the
mute button is activated.

If alarm sounds (4 beeps every 5 seconds):

1) Depress the mute button.

2) Call your emergency services .
[Fire Department or 911]

(telephone number)

Carbon Monoxide Symtoms.

The following are symptoms related to CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the
household:
Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, and/or
fatigue (often described as flu-like symptoms).

Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness,
disorientation, confusion and/or a fast heart rate.

Extreme Exposure: Unconciousness, convulsions, cardio­respiratory failure, and death.

Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by
either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young
children and household pets may be the first affected.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CARBON MONOXIDE GAS ALARM

MODEL 3400 for RESIDENTIAL USE

Where does carbon monoxide come from?

Carbon Monoxide gas is a by-product of the incomplete
burning process of any fuel, including, but not limited to,
gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil, charcoal or wood. All
appliances that burn fuel including cooking stoves, lamps,
space heaters,clothes dryers, furnaces, hot water heaters,
and engines from RVs, RV generators, cars and trucks
produce CO.
When appliances are in good working condition with proper
combustion and ventilation, lethal carbon monoxide gas is
vented outdoors where it quickly disperses. However, a safety
hazard can occur when an appliance malfunctions and
produces CO that is not fully vented. CO polluted air inside a
residence can quickly build to lethal levels.

As a safety precaution, keep fuel-burning appliances and
vents in good working condition with annual inspections and
regular maintenance. Learn the early symptoms of CO
exposure and regularly test and maintain your CO alarm to
ensure it is in good working order. If you suspect CO
poisoning, move outside to fresh air and seek emergency help.
Warning: The installation of the CO alarm should not be used
as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance
of fuel burning appliances,including appropriate ventilation and
exhaust systems.

WARNING:

TEST ALARM OPERATION AT LEAST ONCE

PER MONTH DURING USE.

CO Alarm Indicator Lights and Conditions.

Power. Once power is supplied, the GREEN power indicator
will turn on indicating the alarm is ready to detect CO gas.

Alarm Condition. When CO gas is present in alarm
concentrations, an alarm will sound and the RED alarm
indicator light will flash. The detector will continue to alarm
until the CO gas has dissipated or until the MUTE button is
momentarily pressed. If the MUTE button is pressed during
an alarm condition, the alarm will stop sounding and the RED
alarm indicator light will also stop flashing. If CO gas is still
present in alarm concentrations, the alarm will resume within
a few minutes depending on the concentration.

Fault / Low Voltage. In addition to sounding an alarm when
CO gas reaches a specific concentration at the gas sensor,
the CO alarm also:

1) Has an automatic self diagnostic system check (called
supervision) on the alarm's electronics to ensure reliable,
trouble-free operation;

2) Acts as a low voltage indicator for the voltage to the alarm.

Fault Condition. In the event the CO alarm senses a fault in
its electronics, the ORANGE Fault indicator light will illuminate
continuously (not flashing) and then sound a beep once every
five seconds. The GREEN power indicator will then turn off,
indicating that the alarm is no longer monitoring for CO gas.
If such action should occur, call CCI Controls for assistance
during normal business hours. (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST)

It is important to test your CO alarm regularly.

To test the electronics of the CO alarm, press and release the
test button. The alarm should sound a beep four times and the
RED alarm indicator light will flash four times. In addition, the
indicator lights are also tested. The GREEN power indicator
light will turn off and the ORANGE Fault/Low Voltage indicator
light will illuminate temporarily. If the CO alarm does not
respond in this manner, then refer to the troubleshooting
section.

Operating Instructions.

The CO alarm will only detect CO gas if the proper power is
supplied. Once power is supplied (or re-supplied) to the alarm,
it will perform a brief warm-up and self-check process before
beginning to monitor for carbon monoxide gas.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sen­sor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in
other areas.

Low Voltage Condition. This CO alarm has been designed

to operate with a proper power source. Without the correct
voltage, the CO alarm may not detect carbon monoxide at the
gas sensor. In the event that the CO alarm senses that a low
voltage condition exists, the ORANGE Low Voltage indicator
will illuminate continuously (not flashing) and then sound a
beep once every sixty seconds. The GREEN Power indicator
light will then turn off indicating that the alarm is no longer
monitoring for CO gas.

Note: Unlike the separate indicator lights for the GREEN
power and RED alarm, the Fault and Low Voltage conditions
share the same ORANGE indicator light.

Mute/Self-Test. The Mute/Self-Test button serves two pur­poses: (1) to mute or silence the alarm and ( 2) to perform
a self-test. See Alarm Condition above and Testing Your CO
Alarm.
