First Alert Plug-In Carbon Monoxide Alarm with Battery Backup and Backlit Digital Display - CO615 (1039746)

Plug-In CO Alarm with Battery Backup & Backlit Digital Display

The First Alert CO615 Dual-Power Carbon Monoxide Plug-In Alarm alerts you to dangerous carbon monoxide. This carbon monoxide detector operates on a dual-power system with battery backup for continuous monitoring, even in the event of a power outage. The backlit digital screen tells you at a glance what the carbon monoxide and power levels are. The CO monitor also features a convenient test and silence button and an end-of-life timer that lets you know when it is time to replace the unit.

Dual-Power Design for Continuous Monitoring

The carbon monoxide detector is designed to work with any standard outlet, and it features battery backup to allow continuous monitoring of carbon monoxide levels in the event of a power outage. Simply place two AA batteries in the battery compartment, and if the power goes out, the backup will activate, monitoring carbon monoxide levels even during storms. A low-battery indicator light and alarm will sound when the batteries need to be replaced or are removed.

Advanced Electrochemical Sensor

The First Alert Dual-Power Carbon Monoxide Plug-In Alarm uses an advanced electrochemical sensor to detect elevated CO levels. This sensor offers increased sensitivity to carbon monoxide even at low levels. In the event of a false alarm, the silence/test button can be used to turn off the CO detector.

Backlit Digital Display is Easy to Read

The large backlit display on the carbon monoxide detector clearly shows the level of carbon monoxide in the room, as well as the power level of the backup batteries. The display is readable even in the dark and casts a calm blue light, making it ideal for use in a bedroom. The 6-foot power cord makes it easy to mount the CO monitor on a wall or position it on a shelf or nightstand.

DIRECT PLUG ALARM INTO AN OUTLET

This Alarm can be plugged directly into a wall outlet located close to the floor.

• Choose a standard UNSWITCHED 120V AC outlet.
• Plug Alarm in.

IF OUTLET IS MOUNTED HORIZONTALLY (SIDEWAYS)

If you are going to use your Alarm as a direct plug into an outlet that is mounted horizontally (sideways), you may want to rotate the adapter 90 Degrees, as follows:

• With back of unit facing you (AC blades on your left), place your left thumb on adapter release and grab AC blades with your right hand to release the left side.
• Repeat for the other side adapter thumb release. This will allow adapter to slide out.
• Remove adapter.
• Rotate the adapter 90 degrees and snap firmly back into place.
• Plug Alarm into AC outlet.

WALL MOUNTED ALARM

Installation tips for power cord models: The power cord option provides more flexibility in mounting locations and allows the Alarm to be easily installed at or above eye level. NOTE: If you mount the Alarm high on a wall, make sure it is at least 4 inches (102 mm) down from the ceiling. Any higher than this, it will be in "dead air" space and carbon monoxide may not reach the sensor. NOTE: Do not cover the Alarm with a curtain. To install for a wall-mount, you will need to pull out the removable adapter and power cord, as follows:

• Repeat steps 1 to 3 as described above in "to rotate the adapter".
• With adapter out, pull out power cord and unwrap it.
• Insert the screws provided until head is approx. 1/8 inch (3 mm) from wall (if mounting in plaster board or drywall, drill 3/16 inch (5 mm) hole and use plastic anchor provided).
• Hook the Alarm over the screw onto the keyhole in back of unit.
• Plug power cord into AC outlet.
