Summary
3DUW1R
The Learn Mode™ Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm detects hazardous levels of CO gas. If a dangerous concentration of gas is detected, a red indicator light turns on and an internal siren is activated. The CO alarm also transmits an alarm signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of
detecting CO gas (see Figure 1). The control panel activates its own sirens and reports the alarm
to the central monitoring station (if the system is monitored).

The indicator lights on the CO alarm react to the status of their environment.
A green light indicates an ON or normal condition. The CO alarm has power and is sampling air
for CO gas.
A red light indicates an ALARM condition and that the CO alarm is currently sensing hazardous
CO levels. All persons and animals must evacuate immediately and the area should be venti-
lated.
The internal siren activates when hazardous CO levels are present. The siren may be silenced for
seven to nine minutes by pressing the RESET button.
If the reset button is pressed within 15 seconds of the initial alarm, the CO detector

Warning
Do...
• follow the “Programming” procedures before installing the CO alarm.
• install CO alarms on each level of a building, including near bedrooms and in a basement.
• perform a sensor test to confirm signal reception.
Do not install...
• above or below heating vents.
• above cooking surfaces or within five feet of an open flame appliance.

code.
Programming The following steps provide a general guideline for programming (learning) the CO alarm
into control panel memory. Refer to the specific panel installation instructions for complete
programming details.
To add the CO alarm to panel memory:
1) Make sure the CO alarm is unplugged.
Note
The CO alarm must remain unplugged until step 6 of this procedure. Only within the first 67
seconds of power-up does the CO alarm transmit a signal that the panel can learn.
2) Set the panel to PROGRAM mode.
3) Proceed to the LEARN/ADD SENSORS menu.
4) When the panel prompts you for a sensor group number, enter the appropriate group
number based on the system panel. For Concord
all other GE Security panels, enter Group 29 (AUXILIARY).
5) Select the desired sensor number.
6) When the control panel prompts you for sensor activation, plug in the CO alarm and
wait five seconds for the unit to stabilize. Next, press and hold the test button for five to
seven seconds; the unit beeps, a red alarm light flashes, and a transmitter inside the CO
alarm transmits a Tamper/Alarm signal that the panel learns into memory.
Note
Hold one hand over the siren vent (see Figure 1) while pressing the test button to muffle the siren.

Note
If the panel does not acknowledge learning or receiving the signal within 67 seconds, unplug the CO

Installing the
CO Alarm
Testing the CO
Alarm with the
Control Panel
After successful programming, install the CO alarm at the intended location.
To install the CO alarm:
• Using the installation guidelines on Page 2, plug the CO alarm into the lower socket of an
electrical outlet at the desired location. The green power light appears.
For maximum protection, allow the unit to initialize for one hour after installation.
Note
If the green power light does not turn on, unplug the unit and refer to the “Troubleshooting” section.
Before testing the CO alarm, ensure that your control panel is set to SENSOR TEST mode. Setting your panel to sensor test mode prevents an alarm signal from being reported to the central
monitoring station. If you elect not to set your panel to sensor test mode, contact the central monitoring station prior to testing and inform operators not to dispatch emergency services.
The following steps provide a general guideline for testing the CO alarm. Refer to the specific
panel installation instructions for complete testing details.
Use the TEST/RESET button to test the CO alarm. Do not attempt to pro-

4) Unplug the CO alarm for 10 seconds.
5) Plug in the CO alarm and wait five seconds. Next, press and hold the TEST/RESET button
for five to seven seconds; the unit beeps, a red alarm light flashes, and a transmitter inside the
CO alarm transmits a Tamper/Alarm signal that the panel can receive.
Note
Intermittent beeps with flashing green and red lights indicate the CO alarm is malfunctioning. Refer
to the “Troubleshooting” section.
6) Listen for the appropriate beeps (varies by panel) from interior sirens before releasing the test
button.
7) At the panel, exit the SENSOR TEST mode by entering the disarm command.
