GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Intended Use
The CM-E1 is a low voltage (9-32 VDC) detector of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CM–E1 is designed for conn ection to UL
Listed Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panels. NOTE: Any time the words “Control Panel” or “Alarm Panel” or “Alarm Control
Panel” are used in these instructions, they re fer to a UL Listed Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panel. Alarm control panels
that work on 12 or 24 VDC can provide battery backup to the CM-E1 detectors. This carbon monoxide detector is
designed to detect CO gas from ANY source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas.
List of Warnings and Cautions within these User Instructions
! WARNING
Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Installation
of this equipment by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions may
adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death. For proper use see User Instructions, or call Macurco
Technical Service.
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and detector are designed to monitor. Failure to do so may result in exposures
to gases not detectable and cause sickness or death. For proper use see User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical Service.
Do not cover or obstruct audible alarm opening or visual alarm LED. Doing so may adversely affect product performance and
result in sickness or death.
Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this detector. This detector contains no user
serviceable parts, and substitution of components may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of carbon monoxide gas. Misuse may produce an
inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in overexposure
and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical Service.
When the unit is turned on it performs a self-test, which activates the audible and visual alarms. If the self-test fails, or all the
alarms do not activate, do not use. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
Immediately exit the environment if it causes an alarm condition on the detector. Failure to do so may result in sickness or
death.
UL 2034
The CM-E1 may not function effectively below 40F (4.4°C) or above 100F (37.8°C). Using the detector outside of this
temperature range may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death.
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units and office workspaces. The CM-E1 is not
designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial
standards.
To help avoid false alarms, the CM-E1 is not intended for low level detection (below 30ppm) of carb on monoxide, per UL
2034.
Individuals with certain medical problems may consider using warning devices that provide audible and visual signals for
carbon monoxide concentrations below 30 ppm.
The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members
of the household:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “Flu-like” symptoms).
Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, and death.
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they
become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young
children and household pets may be the first affecte d.

Transient CO situations can occur:
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fu el burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:
a) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air
with extended periods between cycles).
b) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
c) Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for li mited internal air.
d) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heater s.
e) Obstruction or unconventional vent pipe designs, which can amplify the above situations.
2. Extended operation of un-vented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
3. Temperature inversions, which can trap, exhaust gasses near the ground.
4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
CAUTION: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas. Accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or
similar contaminants are used.
CAUTION
Avoid the use of harsh cleaning materials, abrasives and other organic solvents. Such materials may permanently scratch
the surface, damage the sensor, labels, or instrument housing.
If you have any doubts about the applicability of the equipment to your situation, consult an industrial hygienist or call
Macurco Technical Service.
USER INSTRUCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
! WARNING
Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Installation of this
equipment by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions may adversely affect
product performance and result in sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical
Service.
Use For
The CM-E1 is a low voltage (9-32 VDC) detector of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CM–E1 is designed for conn ection to UL
Listed Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panels. Alarm control panels that work on 12 or 24 VDC can provid e battery backup to
the CM-E1 detectors. This carbon monoxide detector is designed to detect CO gas from ANY source of combustion.
! WARNING
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and detector are designed to monitor. Failure to do so may result in exposures to
gases not detectable and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical
Service.
Do Not Use For
The CM-E1 is NOT intended for use in industrial applications such as refineries, chemical plants, etc. The CM-E1 is NOT
intended for use in parking garages as the contr oller of exhaust systems. Do NOT use the CM-E1 for monitori ng for
gases other than Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CM-E1 is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Do NO T
mount the unit in the garage. Do NOT mount the CM-E1 where the normal ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or
exceeds 100°F (37.8°C), or within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a cooking or heating appliance. The Alarm Control Panel must
be dedicated to CO detection or have alarm devices that provide a distinctive alarm for carbon monoxide detection. Do
not connect the CM-E1 to Fire Alarm Circuits.
