In the Event of an Alarm

Danger! Risk of suffocation through carbon monoxide! Carbon monoxide is a highly flammable, invisible, odourless gas.

Open doors and windows to ventilate areas affected.

Clear the source of the danger where this is immediately obvious and you do not put your own life at risk.

You and others at risk must move away from the danger area.

Inform the fire service and wait for any instructions.

Do not enter the building or residence in which the carbon monoxide alarm has been triggered until the fire service has inspected the affected area.

Take advantage of medical help for persons suffering from headache, drowsiness, nausea or other symptoms which indicate carbon monoxide poisoning.

Simple line drawing of a light bulb with radiating lines (no text or symbols)

Pay attention to this symbol. This symbol indicates passages of text providing useful information.

Warning! Carbon monoxide can have fatal effects. Carbon monoxide concentrations in the blood interfere with the capability of the body's oxygen supply. Depending on the concentration level, carbon monoxide can have fatal effects within minutes. Observe the information in Sections In the Event of an Alarm on Page 26, Important Information and Preventive Measures on Page 29 and What You Also Need to Know on Page 39.

Warning! Carbon monoxide is a highly flammable, invisible, odourless gas. Take every alarm seriously. Avoid producing sparks or flames should you hear the alarm! If the alarm is triggered, do not smoke or light a candle. Do not switch on any lights and do not unplug any electrical connections. Follow the instructions provided in Section In the Event of an Alarm on Page 26.

Warning! Risk of suffocation! Children can swallow small parts, packaging and protective foils. Keep the product and packaging out of reach of children!

Warning! Risks to health and the environment from batteries! Improper handling of batteries can put your health and the environment at risk. Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow them to pollute the environment. Batteries may contain toxic, ecologically hazardous heavy metals.

Caution! Hearing damage through loud alarm signal! The alarm signal is loud and could cause hearing damage. Only use the device in the recommended installation locations. Do not remain in the vicinity of the acoustic alarm for a longer period when it has been triggered.

Important! Property damage through environmental influences! Harmful environmental influences, such as exposure to smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat and direct sunlight, could damage the device or impair the function. Prevent exposing the device to environmental influences such as smoke, dust, vibration, chemicals, moisture, heat or direct sunlight.

Important! For technical reasons, the sensors must not be operated in excess of ten years.

As result of chemical wear of the sensor, the CO alarm does not work properly after the service life of ten years specified. Replace the device after ten years even if the outer appearance does not indicate any signs of wear. Avoid direct contact with vapours emanating from adhesives, paints and cleaning agents to prevent the sensor ageing or deteriorating more quickly.

Important Information and Preventive Measures

Throughout this operating manual, carbon monoxide is abbreviated to CO.

• The CO alarm does not detect smoke, fire or gases other than CO. Install other appropriate alarms to provide 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 fireplaces, 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 specialists.

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 modifications or reconstructions are not permitted.

Only use the CO alarm indoors. The CO alarm is not intended for use in industrial environments, business offices, boats, caravans and camping vans.

- so that the LEDs are visible and the Test/Silence button can be operated

Simple line drawing of a light bulb with radiating lines (no text or symbols)

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 flowing 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)

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!

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 screws.

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 flashes.

Switching the Alarm Off

1 Press the Test/Silence button to switch the alarm off. The CO alarm now works normally again, the Power LED flashes every 50 seconds and the Alarm LED goes out.
