Description

The TX-6310-01-1 wireless carbon monoxide (CO) alarm monitors the levels of CO gas and gives early warning when potentially dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire, smoke, or any other gas. If a dangerous concentration of CO is detected by patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator illuminates and an internal siren is activated in temporal 4 pattern. The CO alarm also transmits an alarm signal to the control panel within 15 seconds of detecting dangerous concentration of CO gas. The control panel activates its internal siren and reports the alarm condition to the central monitoring station (if the system is monitored). The CO alarm also detects low battery, wall tamper, and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted to the control panel. The alarm automatically resets when CO is no longer detected.

The TX-6310-01-1 wireless CO alarm is Listed and compliant with the ANSI/UL 2034 standard for CO alarms. It is intended for residential indoor dwelling unit applications and other areas approved by the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). It is not intended for use in industrial applications.

To help identify the date to replace the alarm, an area has been reserved on the side of the alarm. Write the “replace by” date (seven years from power up) with a permanent marker in the area provided.

Alarm location

CO alarms should be mounted in or near bedrooms and living areas. We recommend that you install an alarm on each level of your home.

When choosing your installation locations, make sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one CO alarm in your home, install it near bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room.

Place the alarm out of reach of children. Under no circumstances should children be allowed to handle the CO alarm.

Locations to avoid

Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this alarm. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms:

• Do not install in kitchens, garages, or furnace rooms that may expose the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it.

• Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40°F (4.4°C) or hotter than 100°F (37.8°C) such as crawl spaces, attics, porches, and garages.

• Do not install within 5 ft. of heating or cooking appliances. (We recommend 15 ft. to prevent nuisance alarms.)

Kitchen

Living room

Bedroom

• Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys, or any forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

• Do not install on metal surfaces.

• Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or electrical wires.

• Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows, or areas directly exposed to the weather.

• Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.

• Do not install near deep-cell large batteries. Large batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than optimum performance.

• Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm. Do not place the alarm where drapes, furniture, or other objects block the flow of air to the vents.

Battery installation and replacement

Note: Place the control panel into sensor test mode prior to

replacing the batteries. If the control panel is not in sensor test mode during battery replacement, an alarm/tamper condition may be indicated.

Programming

The following section provides a general guideline for programming (learning) the unit into control panel memory. Refer to the panel documentation for complete programming details.

To add the CO alarm to panel memory:

1. Set the panel to program mode.

2. Proceed to the Learn/Add Sensors menu.

3. Select the desired sensor number.

4. Trip the wall tamper by removing the alarm body from the mounting plate.

5. When the panel prompts you for sensor group number, enter the appropriate group number based on the system panel.

6. At the panel, exit program mode.

7. Place the alarm body back onto the mounting plate.

Note: Each CO alarm is programmed with a unique ID when manufactured. The unique ID is enrolled into the control panel at the time of installation, allowing the CO alarm to communicate with that specific control panel.

Testing

Note: This unit is sealed. The cover is not removable.

The CO alarm provides three test modes:

Normal CO alarm test. Conducts an internal self test and

• tests the sounder. RF communication test. Tests the communication path

• with the control panel. CO alarm functional gas test. Tests the functional

• operation of the CO sensing element.

Normal CO alarm test

1. Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO alarm.

2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal operation.

3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode.

4. Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps once (approximately 1 second), and then release the button. If the unit is operating properly, you will hear four quick beeps, followed by 5 seconds of silence, followed by four quick beeps.

5. At the control panel, exit sensor test mode.

Note: This test mode does not test communication with the control panel. You will receive a “Sensor Test Fail or Abort” message when the control panel exits sensor test mode.

RF communication test

This section provides general guidelines for testing the CO alarm with the panel. Refer to the specific panel documentation for complete testing details.

Before testing, ensure that your control panel is set to sensor test mode. Setting your panel to sensor test mode prevents an alarm signal from being transmitted to the central monitoring station (if you have a monitored system).

1. Wait at least 10 minutes after installation to test the CO alarm.

2. Make sure the green Power LED is flashing for normal operation.

3. Set the control panel to sensor test mode.

4. Press and hold the Test/Hush button until the unit beeps two times (approximately 5 seconds), and then release the button. If the unit is operating properly, you will hear four quick beeps. The unit will send the RF test packets after the first four beeps.

5. The control panel will beep and display the number of RF packets received.

6. At the panel, exit sensor test mode.

WARNING: The control panel must be placed into sensor test

mode while conducting any tests. Placing the control panel into sensor test mode for all testing helps to protect against false alarms and unintentional central station reporting.
