CO-8ZW Carbon Monoxide Detector

Introduction

CO-8 is a Carbon Monoxide Detector. It is capable of sending wireless signals to the Z-Wave
Gateway/Control Panel upon detection of Carbon Monoxide concentration.

The Carbon Monoxide Detector is a Z-Wave enabled device and is full y compatible with any Z-Wave
enabled network.

Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol that uses a low-power RF radio. By taking advantage of
the Z-Wave mesh network, commands can be transmitted to their destination via intermediary “listening”
Z-Wave products.

Parts Identification

1. Dual Color LED indicator (Amber/Red)

The LED indicator lights up in the following conditions:

- Red LED flashes twice
The Carbon Monoxide Detector has successfully included

(learnt) into Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.

- Red continuous flash:
The Carbon Monoxide Detector is activated.

- Amber LED flashes every second:
The Carbon Monoxide Detector is in Alarm Silence mode.

2. Function Button

- Press the button once to send a supervision signal.

- Press the button once during alarm to silence the alarm.

- Press and hold the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds to send a
learn code.

- Press and hold the button for 10 seconds to factory reset.

3. Battery Compartment

The Carbon Monoxide Detector is powered b y three
AA Alkaline 1.5V batteries.

4. Mounting Hole

5. Mounting Bracket

z The Carbon Monoxide Detector will be activated according to the following table when CO

concentration is detected.

CO concentration

level

30 ppm None

50 ppm 60-90 minutes
100 ppm 10-40 minutes
300 ppm Under 3 minutes

z Once the CO concentration level exceeds the threshold and persists for the time length as

listed in the above table, the Carbon Monoxide Detector will transmit the signal to the Z-Wave
Gateway/Control Panel and raise alarm with its built-in siren.

z After the alarm has been activated, the Carbon Monoxide Detector will continue to s end the

alarm signal every 2 minutes as long as CO concentration remains above 30 ppm.

z If the CO concentration drops below 30 ppm, the Carbon Monoxide Detector will stop alar ming

and transmit a restore signal

z When the Carbon Monoxide Detector is alarming, you can press the Function button once on

Carbon Monoxide Detector to enter Alarm Silence mode for 10 minutes

z Under Alarm Silence mode, the Carbon Monoxide Detect or will not sound alarm; the Amber

LED Indicator will flash every second to indicate it is under Alarm Silence mode.

z After 10 minutes, if CO concentration still exceeds 30ppm, the Carbon Monoxide Detector will

raise alarm and send alarm signal again.

z The Carbon Monoxide Detector uses three 1.5V Alkaline batteries as its power source. The

batteries are included in the package.

z The Carbon Monoxide Detector feature Low Battery Detection. When low battery voltage is

detected, the Carbon Monoxide Detector will transmit Low Battery signal to notify the user.

z The Carbon Monoxide Detector will report its battery percentage to the Control Panel

respectively at 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%. If the battery voltage is low (25%), a Low Battery
signal will be sent to the Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel to notify the user.

z When changing batteries, after removing the old batteries, press the Function Button twice to

fully discharge before inserting new batteries.

This function uses the Z-Wave Wake Up Command Class. The Wake Up Command Class allows
the battery-powered Carbon Monoxide Detector to notify the Control Panel/Gateway that it is
awake and ready to receive any queued commands. The wake up time is programmed
automatically according to Control Panel’s setting when The Carbon Monoxide Detector is include d.
The recommended setting of the wake up time is 60 minutes above.

This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified
devices from other manufactures and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within
the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the net work .

z Insert the 3 “AA” batteries into the battery compartment connecting the correct polarity as

shown on the battery compartment lid. CO-8 will emit a 2-tone beep.

z Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Inclusion or Learning mode (please refer

to the Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).

z Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times. CO-8 will emit a 2-tone beep.
z Refer to the operation manual of the Z-Wave gateway/Control panel to complete the

learn-in process.

z If the sensor has already been included (learnt) into another Z-Wave Gateway/Control

Panel, or if the sensor is unable to be learnt into the current Z-Wave Gateway/Control
Panel, please exclude it first (see Exclusion) before attempting to include it into the
current Z-Wave Gateway/Control Panel.

RReemmoovviinngg DDeevviiccee ((EExxcclluussiioonn))

The Carbon Monoxide Detector must be removed from existing Z-Wave network before being
included into another. There are two methods available to exclude a device.

Exclusion Mode

z Put the Z-Wave gateway or control panel into Exclusion mode (please refer to the

Z-Wave gateway or control panel manual).

z Within 1.5 seconds, press the Function Button 3 times and the Carbon Monoxide D etector

will be removed from the Z-Wave network.

Factory Reset

(Only use factory reset when network Control Panel/Gateway is missing or inoperable).

z Remove the batteries of the Carbon Monoxide Detector first.
z Press and hold the Test Button. While holding the Test Button, power on the Heat Detector

by re-inserting the batteries, wait for 10 seconds to factory reset.



<<NNOOTTEE>>

) Factory resetting the Carbon Monoxide Detector will restore it to factory default settings

(excluded from the Z-Wave network). The Z-Wave gateway or control panel will still keep
its Z-Wave settings. Please refer to the gateway or control panel manual on how to
remove the Carbon Monoxide Detector’s Z-Wave settings.
