Some CO alarms have a feature that will silence the signal for 30 days, but this will not solve the issue as the CO alarm will continue to beep after the 30 day period ends. If a CO alarm is at its end-of-life, replacing the battery will not stop the beep. The CO alarm will beep every 30 seconds or display ERR or END. All CO alarms produced after August 1, 2009, have an end-of-life warning notification that alerts the resident that the alarm should be replaced. It probably means your CO alarm has reached its end of life and should be replaced.ĬO alarms have a life expectancy of around seven years. While it’s important to call 9-1-1 if your CO alarm is sounding continuously without stopping, a CO alarm that chirps every 30 seconds is not an emergency. The Seattle Fire Department has received multiple 9-1-1 calls this year from concerned residents because of chirping carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Do not place the alarm where drapes, furniture or other objects block the flow of air to the vents.CO alarms need to be replaced every 7 years

Do not obstruct the vents located on the alarm.

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

Do not install this unit near deep-cell large batteries. Do not install in dead air spaces, such as peaks of vaulted ceilings or gabled roofs, where CO may not reach the sensor in time to provide early warning.

#L6 ON CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR WINDOWS#

Do not install near ceiling fans, doors, windows or areas directly exposed to the weather.

Do not install near vents, flues, chimneys or any forced/unforced air ventilation openings.

Do not install in areas where the temperature is colder than 40☏ (4.4☌) or hotter than 100☏ (37.8☌) such as crawl spaces, attics, porches and garages. To avoid causing damage to the unit, to provide optimum performance, and to prevent unnecessary nuisance alarms: Do not install in kitchens, garages or furnace rooms that may expose the sensor to substances that could damage or contaminate it. Improper location can affect the sensitive electronic components in this alarm. Note the locations to avoid in the owner's manual. It is not an alarm that can be taken from room to room to instantly detect carbon monoxide but if it stays in a room for a number of hours, it can protect you. At 400 PPM or higher, the unit has to go off within 4 to 15 minutes. At 150 PPM, the unit has to be constantly exposed for 10 to 50 minutes before the alarm goes off. At 70 parts per million part of air (PPM), the unit has to be constantly exposed for 1 to 4 hours before it goes off. This means there is a certain amount of time of constant exposure required for the alarm to go off at different levels of CO. The unit is UL 2034 rated and therefore time weighted. The unit takes a number of minutes to get a good accurate reading of CO.
