1 Overview

The wireless CO detector features an onboard sounder, a CO sensor, LED
indicators and local test capability to allow the user total visibility of its
functionality. It is self-monitoring, alerting the user when sensor
maintenance is needed or batteries are low and automatically supervising
the radio link.

The wireless CO detector is available in the following configurations:

Part # Check-In Location

EN1245 3 minutes North America
EN1245-60 60 minutes North America
EN1245A 3 minutes Australia
EN1245Z 3 minutes New Zealand

The wireless CO detector is intended for open area protection and for
connection to a compatible control unit for operation as part of a household
fire alarm system (UL985).

Note: For UL 2560 installations, refer to the EN6080 Area Control
Gateway Installation Instructions.

1.1 Maximum Number of Repeaters for a UL 2560
Installation

To achieve the 99.99% alarm message reliability required for UL 2560
compliance, system installations must operate within the following limits for
end device and repeater counts.

2 Installation and Startup

2.1 Installation Notes

• These products are designed to be maintained by professional
security technicians.

• Products are tested for indoor use.

• All products should be manually tested semi-annually.

2.2 Activate the Battery

1. Twist the detector counterclockwise and lift it off of the mounting base.

2. Remove the tag in the battery compartment to connect the battery.

3. Ensure the battery is seated.

2.3 Register the Wireless CO Detector

Turn detector in
counterclockwise
motion.

The wireless CO detector must be registered to function in your
EchoStream system. Transmitters must be registered with the system in
order to be monitored and supervised. EN1245, EN1245A and EN1245Z
wireless CO detectors send a check-in message every three minutes;
EN1245-60 wireless CO detectors send a check-in message every 60
minutes.

Note: For UL 2560 installations, transmitters must have a minimum check­in time of 60 minutes.

Refer to your receiver, network coordinator or control panel manual for
registration instructions. Inovonics recommends all EchoStream
transmitters be supervised.

4. When prompted to register the device, remove and reinstall the battery
per section 6.1, “Replace the Battery” on page 4.

2.4 Mount the Wireless CO Detector.

• To removable ceiling panels. Attach the detector across panel support
as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3 Mount the CO detector across ceiling panel support
Caution: Airborne dust particles can enter the detector. Inovonics

recommends removing CO detectors before beginning construction or any
other dust-producing activity. Carbon monoxide detectors are not to be
used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and
found suitable for that purpose.

5. Referring to figure 4, use the included mounting screws and dry wall
anchors to mount the wireless CO detector.

6. Referring to figure 4, fit the detector inside the base by aligning it such
that the detector’s alignment notch is slightly offset from mounting
base’s tamper release tab.

7. Turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.

Figure 2 CO detector placement in multi-level residence

Choose a location for the wireless CO detector, paying attention to the
following guidelines.

Do install:

• Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas.

• On every floor of the building.

• In every room that contains a fuel-burning appliance.

Note: If the room with a fuel-burning appliance is not normally used, such
as a boiler room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so
that the alarm can be more easily heard.

Warning: In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a 3.94”
(10 cm) distance must be maintained between all persons and the wireless
CO detector.

Do not install:

• Within 10 feet of any cooking appliance.

• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven.

• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts.

• Near an extractor fan or air vent.

• Outside.

• In any environment that does not comply with the detector’s

• In or below a cupboard.

• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture.

• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor.

• Where the detector could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently

environmental specifications.

removed.

8. Refer to section 3, “Test the Wireless CO Detector” to test the wireless

CO detector.

3 Test the Wireless CO Detector

There are two ways to test the wireless CO detector sensor: The system
test and CO test. Both tests should be performed at least semi-annually per
NFPA 720.

The wireless CO detector should also be tested after initial registration, as
well as each time the battery is replaced.

Caution: Performing a system or a CO test will transmit an alarm signal.
