KM 210 - Alarm system OLYMPIA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL KM 210 OLYMPIA

• The CO alarm does not detect smoke, re or gases other than CO Install other appropriate alarms to pro- vide protection from smoke or heat development

• The most frequent sources of CO development are gas devices, vehicle engines, electricity generators, heat-producing appliances, such as ovens or replac- es, which do not work properly or are not used correctly and the use of grilling devices in closed rooms

• Have gas thermostats, gas boilers and other devices and heaters run on gas, as well as air supplies and exhausts, serviced at regular intervals by specialists30 Intended Use The KM 210 carbon monoxide alarm - subsequently referred to as CO alarm - serves for detecting different concentrations of carbon monoxide in the ambient air A condition for complying with the intended use is that the equipment is installed correctly and the information in the manual is observed and maintained Any other use is considered unintended use. Unauthorised modications or reconstructions are not permitted Only use the CO alarm indoors The CO alarm is not in- tended for use in industrial environments, business ofces, boats, caravans and camping vans Package Contents Please check the contents of the package carefully If anything is missing or has been damaged during transport, DO NOT put the CO alarm into operation!

• Assembly material (2 screws, 2 dowels)

• 2 batteries (AA batteries, 15 V)

1 Test/Silence button 2 Power LED 3 Fault LED 4 Alarm LED 5 Loudspeaker32 Inserting the Batteries The battery compartment is located on the rear side of the CO alarm 1 Open the battery compartment 2 Insert two appropriate batteries in the battery compart- ment, ensuring correct polarity After inserting the batteries, the CO alarm is activated automatically and is ready to operate after about 30 seconds The Power LED ashes every 30 seconds 3 Close the battery compartment 4 Assemble the CO alarm Observe the information below and in Section Important Information and Preventive Measures on Page 29 Selecting the Installation Location CO alarms should be assembled

• at least in every bedroom

• in every room with a heating appliance (pay particular attention to the information below)

• at the room height at which it is normally breathed (ap- plies to rooms without a heating appliance, otherwise see below)33

• so that the LEDs are visible and the Test/Silence button can be operated Although carbon monoxide has a similar density as the ambient air, it is normally expelled as part of a hot gas mixture and therefore tends to ascend until it cools down Assemble CO alarms in rooms containing a heating appliance

• at a height above windows and doors

• at least 300 mm from a wall and 150 mm from the ceiling

• at a distance of between 1 and 3 m to potential sources of carbon monoxide Do not assemble CO alarms

• near a window or door because fresh air owing in could cause a delay in the alarm triggering

• in the direct vicinity of a cooking area

• in closed containers or concealed areas

• in the vicinity of extractor fans

• in wet or damp areas

• directly above sources of heat

• outside the permissible ambient conditions (refer to Technical Data)34 Assembling the CO Alarm When assembling the device, pay attention to maintaining at least 100 cm distance to doors, windows or ventilation ducts Warning! Risk of serious injuries through damaging cables or pipes! During installation, pay attention to the possibility of cables and pipes running in the walls We are not deemed liable for installation errors If in doubt, contact a specialist! 146 mm POWER FAULT ALARM

1 Ensure that there are no electric cables, gas or water pipes near the installation location 1 Drill two holes, about 146 mm apart, at the intended installation location 2 Insert the dowels and screws supplied in the drill holes 3 Fit the CO alarm on the screws35 In the Event of an Alarm If the CO alarm detects a critical concentration of carbon monoxide, the alarm is triggered and the Alarm LED ashes. Switching the Alarm Off

Press the Test/Silence button to switch the alarm off The CO alarm now works normally again, the Power LED ashes every 50 seconds and the Alarm LED goes out Warning! Carbon monoxide is a highly ammable, invisible, odourless gas Take every alarm seriously Follow the instructions provided in Section In the Event of an Alarm on Page 26 The alarm stops automatically when the concentration of carbon monoxide drops below a safe threshold value POWER FAULT ALARM

Low Battery Charge Warning When the batteries in the CO alarm are almost empty, the Alarm LED ashes accompanied by a short acoustic sig- nal every 30 seconds The CO alarm continues to operate without any limitations during this period 1 Replace the used batteries in the CO alarm with new ones of the same type immediately Further information is available in Sections Inserting the Batteries on Page 32 and Technical Data on Page 43 CO Alarm Function Test Complete a function test of the CO alarm at regular inter- vals - at least once a month 1 Press the Test/Silence button The Alarm ashes quickly and you will hear a longer acoustic signal If the function test indicates that the CO alarm is not working properly, there is no guarantee that the CO concentration is being monitored adequately Replace the CO alarm immediately in such cases37 Self-Test The CO alarm performs a self-test every 10 seconds If the CO alarm detects a fault, the Fault LED ashes every 15 seconds followed by a short acoustic signal If the self-test indicates that the CO alarm is not working properly, there is no guarantee that the CO concentration is being monitored adequately Replace the CO alarm immediately in such cases End of Service Life The CO alarm automatically detects and signals the end of its useful service life In this case, the Fault LED ashes every 30 seconds followed by three short acoustic signals When the CO alarm indicates the end of its service life, replace the CO alarm immediately POWER FAULT ALARM

Activating Silence Mode You can activate Silence mode when you want to switch off the alarm signal of the CO alarm for a time 1 Press the Test/Silence button twice The Power LED and Alarm LED ash simultaneously every 10 seconds 2 If you want to deactivate Silence mode manually, press the Test/Silence button You will hear a short acoustic signal and the Power LED ashes every 50 seconds. Silence mode is deactivated Silence mode is also deactivated if

• the CO alarm detects a critical concentration of carbon monoxide while Silence mode is active or

• after two minutes without any incidents occurring POWER FAULT ALARM

What You Also Need to Know Please pay attention to this section in order to nd out more about the risks of carbon monoxide poisoning or the reaction times of the CO alarm Symptoms Following Carbon Monoxide Poisoning The following table indicates the symptoms which frequently occur according to the exposure to carbon monoxide The symptoms could occur more quickly in the case of unborn children, infants, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems 30 ppm Maximum permissible concentration to which one may be exposed, un- interrupted, for 8 hours ("maximum allowable concentration") 150 ppm Slight headache after approx 15 hours 200 ppm Slight headache, tiredness, dizziness, nausea after approx 2 to 3 hours40 Concentration* Exposure and Symptoms 400 ppm Headache in the forehead after 1 to 2 hours, life-threatening after 3 hours 800 ppm Dizziness, nausea and cramp after approx 45 minutes, unconscious- ness within 2 hours, fatal within 2 to 3 hours 1600 ppm Severe headache, dizziness and nausea within 20 minutes, fatal within 1 hour 3200 ppm Severe headache, dizziness and nausea within 5 to 10 minutes, fatal within 25 to 30 minutes 6400 ppm Severe headache, dizziness and nausea within 1 to 2 minutes, fatal within 10 to 15 minutes 12800 ppm Fatal within 1 to 3 minutes

• The concentration indicates the levels of carbon monox- ide in the ambient air in ppm (parts per million).41 Reaction Times of the CO Alarm The following table indicates the reaction times of the CO alarm according to the levels of carbon monoxide Concentration* Time Until CO Alarm is Triggered Up to 50 ppm Approx 2 hours Up to 100 ppm Approx 1 to 15 hours Up to 300 ppm Approx 10 to 40 minutes From 300 ppm Max 3 minutes
