SMCCO10-Z Carbon Monoxide Alarm U ser Guide

Product Introduction

The SMCCO10-Z Is a wireless carbon monoxide (CO) alarm that monitors the levels of CO gas and provides early warning when potentially dangerous levels exist. The SMCCO10-Z uses patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor technology. If a dangerous concentration of CO is detected by patented and field-proven electrochemical sensor:

 An LED indicator on the SMCCO10-Z goes ON.  An internal siren sounds in temporal 4 pattern.  The SMCCO10-Z sends alarm signal to the Touchscreen within 15 seconds of detecting dangerous concentration of CO gas. The Touchscreen

activates its internal siren and reports the alarm condition to the central monitoring station if the system is monitored.

The SMCCO10-Z also detects low battery, wall tamper, and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are sent to the Touchscreen, which reports the condition to the central monitoring station. The alarm automatically resets when CO is no longer detected. The SMCCO10-Z does not detect fire, smoke, or any other gas.

TheSMCCO10-Z is listed and complies 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.

WARNING: After seven years from initial power up, this alarm beeps two times every 30 seconds to indicate it is time to replace the alarm. Replace the alarm immediately because it will not detect CO in this condition.

Mounting Guidelines

Recommended Locations

Mount the SMCCO10-Z alarms in or near bedrooms and living areas. We recommend you install an alarm on each level of your home.

When choosing installation locations, be sure you can hear the alarm from all sleeping areas. If you install only one SMCCO10-Z in your home, install it near

bedrooms, not in the basement or furnace room. Place the alarm out of reach of children. Never allow children to handle the SMCCO10-Z.

Figure 1. Recommended Locations

Locations to Avoid

Selecting an improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in your SMCCO10-Z. To avoid damaging the unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms, do not install the SMCCO10-Z:

 In kitchens, garages, or furnace

rooms that can expose the sensor to substances that can damage or contaminate it.

 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.

 Within 5 feet of heating or cooking

appliances. We recommend 15 feet to prevent nuisance alarms.

 Near vents, flues, chimneys, or any

forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

 On metal surfaces.  In areas with a large quantity of

metal or electrical wires.

 Near ceiling fans, doors, windows,

or areas directly exposed to the weather.

 In dead-air spaces, such as peaks of

vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO might not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.

 Near deep-cell large batteries.

Large batteries have emissions that can cause the alarm to perform at less than optimum performance.

 In areas that obstruct the vents

located on the alarm.

 Where drapes, furniture, or other

objects block the flow of air to the vents.

Adding to the Touchscreen

Before you physically mount the SMCCO10-Z at the desired location, add it to the Touchscreen. This verifies RF performance before permanently mounting the SMCCO10-Z.

Each SMCCO10-Z is programmed with a unique ID when manufactured. The unique ID is enrolled into the Touchscreen at the time of installation, allowing the SMCCO10-Z to communicate with that specific Touchscreen.

A. Log in to the Settings app with an

Installer code.

B. In the Settings menu, tap Sensors &

Zones > Add a Sensor/Zone.

C. Place the SMCCO10-Z in Search

mode and prepare it to be added to the Touchscreen (refer to the installation documentation for your sensors). Available sensors meet the following requirements:

 Defaulted.  Not currently paired with another

Touchscreen.

 Currently in Search mode.

D. At the Locating Wireless Sensors

screen, tap Next. A Done button appears on the screen and the Touchscreen searches for sensors that are available to be added. As sensors are found, a grayed icon appears for that sensor.

E. Fault each found sensor to pair it to

the Touchscreen. The icon for each sensor is undarkened as it is faulted and the Touchscreen beeps. The sensor is paired to the Touchscreen.

F. When all the sensors are found and

paired, tap Stop. Any located sensors that were not paired are released by the Touchscreen and can be added later. The Wireless Sensors Located screen shows the number of wireless sensors found and paired.

G. Tap Next. The Configure Wireless

Sensors screen shows icons of the sensors that were found and paired.

Testing the SMCCO10-Z

You can test the SMCC010-Z during installation or anytime. It is recommended you test the SMCCO10-Z in place annually. This product is sealed and its cover is not removable.

The SMCCO10-Z alarm has 3 test modes:

 Normal CO alarm test - conducts an

internal self-test and tests the sounder. See “Running the Normal CO Alarm Test” on page 7.

 RF communication test - tests the

communication path with the Touchscreen. See “Running the RF Communication Test” on page 8.

 CO alarm functional gas test - tests

the functional operation of the CO sensing element. See “Running the CO Inspection and Functional Gas Test” on page 7.

Before running any of these tests, observe the following guidelines:

 The SMCCO10-Z is sealed. The cover

is not removable.

 Place the Touchscreen into sensor

test mode while conducting any tests to protect against false alarms and unintentional central-station reporting.

 Due to the loudness of the alarm,

place your fingers over the sounder vent while testing your SMCCO10-Z.

 Continuous exposure to the high

sound level of this alarm for an extended time can cause hearing loss.
