Wireless PowerG Two-way Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Installation Instructions
Detector
1. INTRODUCTION
The Wireless PowerG Two-way Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detector is designed to monitor the CO gas level in residential dwellings and
give early warning before potentially dangerous levels exist. The CO alarm is transmitted to the PowerMaster control panel and
presented on its display.
The CO gas is considered to be a highly dangerous poisonous gas because it is colorless, odorless, tasteless and very toxic. Presence
of CO gas inhibits the blood's capacity to transport oxygen throughout the body, which can eventually lead to brain damage. CO gas is
produced by incomplete combustion of fuels (such as natural gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene, coal, charcoal, gasoline or wood) that
can occur in any device that depends on burning for energy and heat (such as furnaces, boilers, room heaters, hot water heaters, stoves,
grills and in any gasoline powered vehicle or engine).
Before CO harmful level is reached, the detector's internal buzzer beeps sound periodically
and the detector's red LED flashes. In this condition, the buzzer sound can be stopped for 6
minutes by pressing the TEST/MUTE switch. It will not correct the CO gas problem, but will
temporarily silence the buzzer while you correct the problem. After 6 minutes, the detector
restarts alarm if the CO level remains high.
The detector provides low battery and detector end-of-life indications.
Caution: The detector expiry date is stamped on the detector. After the expiry date, the
detector should not be used - do not wait for end-of-life indication!!
The detector is continuously self-tested and has a TEST button that enables the user to test
the detector anytime.
Note: The TEST/MUTE switch functions as TEST switch (in normal operation) or as MUTE
switch (in alarm condition).
The tamper switch actuator (Figure 3), is pressed against the bracket when the unit is
attached to the bracket. Removal of the unit from the bracket causes the switch contacts to
open, creating a tamper event, which is reported by the transmitter to the alarm system
control panel.

Caution! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
3. INSTALLATION
3.1 Mounting
The detector can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. For EN approved sites, only ceiling installation is allowed.
It must be mounted with its bracket (when it is attached to its bracket the tamper switch is pressed and the detector automatic reset is
performed).
!
Warnings
• Installation must be performed by a qualified individual. Failure to properly install, test and maintain a CO detector may cause it to fail,
resulting in loss of life!
• Installation of the CO detector should not be used as a substitute for proper installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning
appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.
• Unauthorized removal of the unit from the bracket will initiate a tamper alert!
!
Warning -
The battery must be inserted into the detector otherwise you will not be able to close the detector.
3.2 Diagnostic Test
For Diagnostics Test instructions refer to the control panel Installer Guide.
!
WARNING: The test switch is the only proper way to test the CO detector. Never use vehicle exhaust! Exhaust may cause
permanent damage and void your warranty.
B. Communication Test
Create a tamper alarm at the installation location and verify that tamper message is received by the control panel / receiver.
1.
Locate the bracket on the mounting surface so that the word
"UP" appears in the direction shown in Figure 4 (this ensures

that the text on the detector's stickers will be easily readable).
2.
Mark and drill 2 holes in the mounting surface. Fasten the
bracket to the mounting surface with 2 screws.
3.
Align the detector's tabs (see Figure 3) with the bracket slots
and rotate the detector as shown. Pull the detector outward to
verify that it is securely attached.

4. MAINTENANCE
!
Warning:
When low battery alarm exists (see specifications) immediately replace the battery (see figure 3).
Once a month, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the air vents occasionally, to keep them free of dust.
