Important safety information

Read this manual before attempting to install the device!

Failure to observe recommendations included in this manual may be
dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, Fibar Group
S.A. will not be held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from
not following the instructions of operating manual.

General carbon monoxide information

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, and tasteless poison
gas that can be fatal when inhaled. It is produced when liquid, solid, or
gas fuel is burned.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning

The early symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning can be confused
with u-like symptoms: headache, dizziness and nausea. Breathing car­bon monoxide causes these symptoms even in healthy people. It can
also cause sleepiness, vision problems (including blurred vision), ring­ing in the ears, aching arms and legs, irregular breathing, fatigue and
confusion. At very high levels, it causes loss of consciousness and death.

Some external factors, eg. exposure to high concentration of basic
(non-acidic) gases, silicone vapors, hydrogen sulde or sulfuric acid gas,
organic vapors, contact with water, dust and oil mist, or dew condensa­tion may aect the reliability of the device operation.

This device may not protect from long-term exposure to low levels of
carbon monoxide which can also lead to neurological symptoms.

The device is not a substitute for appropriate ventilation and exhaust
systems.

HomeKit technology

Apple HomeKit technology provides an easy, secure way to control

HomeKit-enabled accessories using Siri on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod
touch.

After installing your FIBARO CO Sensor, congure it from a compatible
app with just a few simple steps.

You can even create your own custom scenes to control your home
settings. For example, you can create a scene to automatically turn
o the lights, lock your doors, close the garage door, and set the
thermostat to the desired temperature in just one step.

Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory requires an iPhone,

i

iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9.3 or later.

Controlling this HomeKit-enabled accessory away from home
requires a third-generation Apple TV with Apple TV software

7.2.1 or later or a fourth generation AppleTV with tvOS 9.2 or
later and an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9.3 or later

#1: Description and features

FIBARO CO Sensor is a HomeKit-enabled carbon monoxide detector

using Bluetooth® low energy technology.

Its high sensitivity allows to detect the presence of the carbon
monoxide (CO) gas at the early stage in order to prevent carbon
monoxide poisoning.

Alarm is signalled with a built-in siren, blinking LED indicator and by
sending information to your iOS device.

Additionally, the accessory is equipped with a temperature sensor.

Main features of FIBARO CO Sensor:

3

• compatible with Apple HomeKit technology

• Bluetooth® low energy technology for wireless communication

• detects tampering when the casing is opened

• wall-mounted

• battery-powered

• alarm signalled with a built-in siren and LED diode

• built-in temperature sensor measuring ambient temperature

#6: Functionality

Carbon monoxide alarm:

The CO Sensor alarms about abnormal levels of carbon monoxide
concentration with 4 red blinks and 4 loud beeps (every 5 seconds).

Alarm is also reported to your iOS device.

Carbon monoxide measuring and storing:

The CO Sensor measures carbon monoxide concentration and re­ports. If measured value diers from previously reported by at least
5ppm, accessory reports it to your iOS device.

Last 2500 measurements are stored in non-volatile memory of the ac­cessory and can be accessed via FIBARO for HomeKit app.

NOTE

i

The accessory mea­sures temperature in
the place of installa­tion. Remember that
temperature near the
ceiling may dier from
that on eye-level or
the oor..

Temperature measuring:

The CO Sensor measures ambient temperature every 30 seconds.
If the measured temperature diers from previously reported
by at least 0.5°C (0.9°F), accessory reports it to your iOS device.

Last 2500 measurements are stored in non-volatile memory of the ac­cessory and can be accessed via FIBARO for HomeKit app.

Tamper detection:

The CO Sensor detects tampering when accessory is removed from
its base and reports it to your iOS device. Tampering is indicated with
one white blink and beep.

Battery level measuring:

The CO Sensor measures battery level every 6 hours and reports it to
your iOS device. Additionally, if battery level is below 15%, the acces­sory will report low level battery status to your iOS device and indi­cate it with one yellow blink and beep.
