KM 200 - Alarm system OLYMPIA - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL KM 200 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 specialists31 Intended Use The KM 200 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!

Power Fault Fault Alarm Test/Hush 1 Test/Hush button 2 Gas inlets 3 Loudspeaker 4 Base 5 Power LED 6 Fault LED 7 Alarm LED33 Inserting the Batteries The battery compartment of the CO alarm can only be opened when you have removed the base from the CO alarm 1 Turn the base counter- clockwise to disconnect it from the CO alarm 2 Open the battery compartment 3 Insert two appropriate batteries in the battery compart- ment, ensuring correct polarity After inserting the batteries, the CO alarm is automatically switched on and ready to operate The Power LED ashes every 50 seconds. 4 Close the battery compartment 5 Assemble the CO alarm Pay attention to the information in Sections Important Information and Preventive Measures on Page 30 and Selecting the Installation Location on Page 3434 Selecting the Installation Location A CO alarm 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)

• so that the LEDs are visible and the Test/Hush 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 monoxide35 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) Assembling the CO Alarm When assembling the device, pay attention to maintaining at least 100 cm distance to doors, windows or ventilation ducts 1 Carefully turn the base counterclockwise and remove the base from the CO alarm36 Assemble the base so that the inlet of the sensor points downwards after assembly This prevents dust or other dirt particles impairing the function of the CO alarm 2 Screw the base at the intended installation location with two screws 3 Fit the CO alarm on the base and screw the CO alarm clockwise until rmly xed. Following 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/Hush 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 27 Power Power Fault Alarm Alarm37 The alarm stops automatically when the concentration of carbon monoxide drops below a safe threshold value Memory Function If the CO alarm has detected carbon monoxide and trig- gered an alarm in your absence, the Alarm LED ashes every 15 seconds followed by two short acoustic signals 1 Press the Test/Hush button The CO alarm is ready to operate, the Power LED ashes every 50 seconds, the Alarm LED is off 2 Take appropriate measures to identify and clear sources of danger which have lead to an alarm being triggered in your absence Low Battery Charge Warning When the batteries in the CO alarm are almost empty, the Alarm LED ashes every 40 seconds followed by a short acoustic signal The CO alarm continues to operate without any limitations during this period 1 Change the batteries in the CO alarm within 30 days, installed new ones of the same type Power Power Test/Hush Test/Hush Test/Hush Test/Hush38 Further information is available in Sections Inserting the Batteries on Page 33 and Technical Data on Page 44 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/Hush 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 cases 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 cases39 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 60 seconds followed by three short acoustic signals When the CO alarm indicates the end of its service life, replace the CO alarm immediately Activating Hush Mode You can activate Hush mode when you want to switch off the alarm signal of the CO alarm for a time 1 Press the Test/Hush button twice The Power LED and Alarm LED ash simultaneously every 10 seconds. 2 If you want to deactivate Hush mode manually, press the Test/Hush button You will hear a short acoustic signal and the Power LED ashes every 50 seconds. Hush mode is deactivated Hush mode is also deactivated if

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

• after two minutes without any incidents occurring Power Power Fault Alarm Alarm40 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 Concentration* Exposure and Symptoms 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 hours41 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).42 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
