INTRODUCTION
Please keep this user guide in a safe place. If you move house, please hand it to the next
occupier.
The NoCO Carbon Monoxide Protection System is designed for use with gas or oil red
domestic boilers.
When installed and interlinked with a NoCO Control Unit, as part of the NoCO Carbon
Monoxide Protection System, this wireless carbon monoxide alarm will provide additional
safety and peace of mind for you and your family.
The carbon monoxide alarm will not only alert you with a loud audible signal in the event of a
dangerous carbon monoxide leak but will also activate all other interlinked carbon monoxide
NoCO alarms to signal the alarm. In addition, a wireless message will switch off your boiler
in the event of a carbon monoxide leak for ultimate protection from this poisonous gas.
Installing a NoCO Room Alarm is ideal where the boiler is the only fuel burning
appliance in the property.
See “Interlinking (Pairing) NoCO Carbon Monoxide Alarms”, page 6 for further information
about when it is recommended to interlink NoCO Room Alarms into a wireless network.

FEATURES
• Detects carbon monoxide providing the earliest possible warning of toxic carbon monoxide
levels from boiler flues or faulty fuel burning appliances.
• Detects carbon monoxide continuously.
• When installed with a NoCO Control Unit, as part of the NoCO Carbon Monoxide Protection
System, this device will shut off the boiler in the event of a carbon monoxide leak.
• Sounds a loud 85dB* alarm to alert you in case of an emergency.
• Includes encoded wireless interlink to enable a network of carbon monoxide alarms, which
will sound simultaneously in the event of a carbon monoxide leak.
• 2 year warranty.
Battery Activation/Automatic Power Engage
Product lifespan is limited by the carbon monoxide sensor inside the alarm. This sensor will
perform its function for seven years. After that point in time the NoCo Alarm units will need to
be replaced (The recommended date of replacement is printed on the side of the alarm unit)
.
Your NoCO alarm comes complete with an integrated battery that will provide power for its
entire seven year operational life. The battery is automatically enabled when the NoCO alarm
is fully locked onto the mounting plate. It is disabled when removed from the mounting plate.
When the NoCO alarm is activated the Power LED will begin to ash green once every minute
to indicate that the NoCO alarm is receiving power from the battery and is fully operational.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT: This NoCO carbon monoxide alarm must be linked to a NoCO Control Unit to
create a Carbon Monoxide Protection System.
Note: NoCO Room alarms should only be wirelessly interlinked (paired) with the NoCO
Control Unit where there is no other fuel burning appliance within the property, to avoid
the risk of nuisance boiler shut off where the source of carbon monoxide is not the boiler.
It is recommended that the NoCO Control Unit is installed prior to tting the NoCO alarm(s).
Before installing the NoCO alarm into position, it is recommended to wirelessly interlink
(“pair”) the NoCO alarm(s) to the NoCO Control Unit.
INTERLINKING (“PAIRING”) THE CARBON
MONOXIDE ALARMS TO THE NoCO CONTROL
UNIT
This NoCO alarm contains an inbuilt RF module, and enables you to wirelessly interlink
two or more NoCO alarms and create a network. If one alarm activates, all other interlinked
NoCO alarms will also sound. Therefore NoCO alarms need to be “paired” or interlinked in
order to communicate with each other. By “pairing” each NoCO alarm to the NoCO Control
Unit, they will automatically be “paired” with all other units forming a wireless network.
• NoCO Room Alarms should be paired and interlinked to a NoCO Control Unit where there
is a boiler, but no other fuel burning appliance within the property.
• Where there are other fuel burning appliances (see page 10), there is a risk of nuisance
boiler shut off where the source of CO is not the boiler. Therefore in this situation pairing is
not recommended.
7
• All NoCO alarms which are not paired will act as a standalone alarm and will still sound if
they detect CO, however, they will not switch off your boiler.
• NoCO alarms can only be wirelessly interlinked with products from the NoCO Carbon
Monoxide Protection System range.
IMPORTANT
For further information regarding wirelessly interlinking (pairing) your NoCO alarms, please
contact NoCO Technical Helpline on 0844 241 2504 or www.no-co.co.uk.
In the event of a service call required to reset your boiler from an alarm not caused by CO
emitting from your boiler, your Gas Safe engineer may make a charge.
Once the NoCO Control Unit is installed, temporarily place all the NoCO alarms to
be installed within reach of the NoCO Control Unit.
Read the following instructions carefully prior to “pairing” the NoCO alarms to the NoCO
Control Unit. The “Pair” button is found on the back of the NoCO alarm (Fig 1).
Figure 1.

Using a biro, press the “Pair” button of the NoCO alarm once, (one short press). The red LED
on the back of the alarm will ash and then illuminate for 5 seconds. Within this 5 seconds
press the test button on the NoCO Control Unit.
1. The red LED on the back of the alarm will start to ash, conrming that the pairing has
been successful.
2. The Alarm LED (red) and Fault LED (yellow) on the NoCO Control Unit will ash initially,
but once the Control Unit has completed the initial pairing process, the LEDs on the
Control Unit will stop ashing.
3. Repeat Steps 1 - 3 for additional alarms. Note: The Alarm LED (red) will ash briey each
time you press the Control Unit test button during the pairing process.*
4. Fit the baseplates to the NoCO alarms.
5. Once all the units are interlinked, the network will take a few minutes to establish. It is
recommended to WAIT AT LEAST FIVE MINUTES BEFORE TESTING THE UNITS (see
page 9). Note, larger networks will take longer to establish.
6. Press the reset button on the NoCO Control Unit which will activate the NoCO Control
Unit to standby mode. The Control Unit “Boiler Power” LED (green) will illuminate,
showing there is mains power to the boiler.
The NoCO Control Unit and NoCO carbon monoxide alarms have now been wirelessly
interlinked to create a network. This means that in the event of a carbon monoxide leak the
NoCO alarms will sound to warn you of the danger and your NoCO Control Unit will switch
off your boiler.
*
Depending on how long the pairing of additional alarms takes, it is possible that the Control Unit will ash
the Fault LED (yellow). This is normal and will stop once steps 5 - 7 are complete.

TO TEST THE NoCO ALARMS ARE CORRECTLY
“PAIRED” AND HAVE CREATED A NETWORK
Note: This test will conrm the pairing of the units into a network, but will not switch off the
boiler.
A: Testing the NoCO alarms:
In order to be able to see the Control Unit indicators at the same time as pressing the test
button on the NoCO alarms, it is likely you will need two people to perform this operation.
1. Place the NoCO alarm onto its baseplate.
2. Press the test button on the NoCO alarm.
3. All paired NoCO alarms will sound a pattern of 2 x 4 short beeps and the Alarm LED (red)
on the NoCO alarm will ash.
4. The Alarm LED (red) on the NoCO Control Unit will ash for 60 seconds. If the Alarm
LED on the NoCO Control Unit does not ash, the alarms have not been paired. Please
repeat the “pairing” procedure above.
B: Testing the NoCO Control Unit:
In order to be able to see the Control Unit indicators at the same time as pressing the test
button on the NoCO alarms, it is likely you will need two people to perform this operation.
If the NoCO alarm and/or NoCO Control Unit does not test:
1. Check the NoCO alarm operation as indicated in the Installation and User Guide.
2. Check troubleshooting guides in both product user guides.
For assistance, please contact your Gas Safe registered installer. If you are unable to resolve
the issue, call the NoCO Technical Helpline on 0844 241 2504 or see further information at
