Wichtige Sicherheitsinformationen
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be fatal. This alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source of combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire, or other gases. For optimal safety, ensure proper ventilation and regular maintenance of fuel-burning appliances.
- Den Alarm nicht anmalen. Paint can clog the openings and interfere with the sensor's ability to detect CO.
- Die Lüftungsöffnungen der Alarmanlage dürfen nicht blockiert werden. Sorgen Sie dafür, dass die Luft frei um das Gerät zirkulieren kann.
- Testen Sie den Alarm regelmäßig. Press the test button weekly to ensure proper operation.
- Ignorieren Sie niemals einen Alarm. If the alarm sounds, follow the "What to do if the alarm sounds" instructions immediately.
- This alarm is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain or moisture.

Setup und Installation
Einen Standort auswählen
For optimal protection, install CO alarms in or near every room where fuel-burning appliances are located, and in sleeping areas. Consider placing an alarm on every level of your home. Avoid placing the alarm:
- Bei direkter Sonneneinstrahlung oder in der Nähe von Wärmequellen.
- in damp or humid areas (e.g., bathrooms).
- Within 1 meter (3 feet) of cooking appliances.
- In staubigen, schmutzigen oder fettigen Bereichen.
- Hinter Vorhängen oder Möbeln.
Montage des Alarms
The CO-9X10 can be wall-mounted or placed on a flat surface. For wall mounting:
- Select a suitable location, ideally at eye level or higher, but not directly on the ceiling unless specified by local regulations.
- Verwenden Sie die Montagehalterung als Schablone, um die Bohrlöcher an der Wand zu markieren.
- Bohren Sie zwei Löcher und setzen Sie die mitgelieferten Dübel ein.
- Screw the mounting bracket firmly to the wall.
- Attach the CO alarm to the mounting bracket by aligning the alarm with the bracket and twisting it clockwise until it clicks into place.

The CO-9X10 features a sealed-in lithium battery. The alarm will activate automatically when it is correctly attached to its mounting bracket. Upon activation, the green Power LED will flash once every 45 seconds, indicating normal operation.
Bedienungsanleitung
LED-Anzeigen
- Grüne Power-LED: Blinkt im Normalbetrieb einmal alle 45 Sekunden.
- Amber Fault LED: Flashes to indicate a fault or low battery. Refer to the Troubleshooting section.
- Red Alarm LED: Flashes rapidly during a CO alarm event.
Testen des Alarms
It is crucial to test your CO alarm weekly to ensure it is functioning correctly.
- Press and hold the large "TEST/RESET" button on the front of the alarm.
- The alarm will sound a loud, distinctive pattern (typically 4 beeps, pause, 4 beeps) and the Red Alarm LED will flash.
- Release the button. The alarm should stop sounding, and the Red Alarm LED should stop flashing.
- If the alarm does not sound or the LEDs do not respond as described, refer to the Troubleshooting section.
Was tun, wenn der Alarm ertönt?
If your CO alarm sounds, it indicates the presence of carbon monoxide. Follow these steps immediately:
- Evacuate immediately: Move everyone, including pets, to fresh air outdoors or open doors/windows to ventilate the area.
- Do not re-enter the premises until the alarm has stopped and the area has been ventilated.
- Rufen Sie den Notdienst an: Contact your local emergency services (e.g., 999 in the UK) or a qualified gas technician to investigate the source of the CO.
- Identify and resolve the source: Do not use fuel-burning appliances until they have been checked by a professional.
Stille-Funktion
The alarm may have a silence feature for nuisance alarms (e.g., from temporary high CO levels during appliance startup). Pressing the "TEST/RESET" button during an alarm may silence it for a short period. However, if the CO level remains high, the alarm will reactivate. Only use the silence feature if you are certain it is a nuisance alarm and not a genuine CO threat.
Wartung
Regelmäßige Reinigung
Clean your CO alarm regularly to prevent dust and debris from affecting its performance. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use cleaning solvents or sprays directly on the alarm.
Battery Life and End-of-Life Signal
The FireAngel CO-9X10 is equipped with a sealed-in lithium battery designed to last for 10 years. When the alarm reaches the end of its operational life, it will emit a specific end-of-life signal (e.g., two short beeps every 45 seconds, accompanied by the Amber Fault LED flashing). When this occurs, the alarm needs to be replaced immediately.
