X-Sense XC01-WR Wireless Interconnected Carbon Monoxide Detector User Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the X-Sense XC01-WR Wireless Interconnected Carbon Monoxide Detector. This device is designed to provide reliable carbon monoxide detection and alert you to dangerous CO levels in your home. It features wireless interconnection, allowing multiple detectors to communicate and trigger all alarms simultaneously when one detects CO.

Key features include:

• Wireless Interconnection: Connects with other X-Sense Link+ detectors via radio frequency.
• Reliable CO Detection: Equipped with a Figaro electrochemical CO sensor for stable performance.
• Long-Life Battery: Replaceable sealed battery with a 5-year lifespan.
• 10-Year Sensor Life: Ensures long-term protection.
• Peak Value Memory: Records the highest CO concentration detected.
• EN 50291 Compliant: Meets European safety standards.

2. Important Safety Information

WARNING: Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas that can be fatal. This detector is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from any source of combustion. It is not designed to detect smoke or fire.

• Install the detector in appropriate locations as specified in this manual.
• Test the detector weekly to ensure proper operation.
• Do not paint the detector. Paint can clog the openings and interfere with the sensor's ability to detect CO.
• Do not use cleaning agents or solvents on the detector.
• Replace the battery as soon as the low battery warning sounds.
• Never ignore a CO alarm. Investigate the cause and take appropriate action immediately.

3. Package Contents

Your X-Sense XC01-WR package includes:

• 1 x Carbon Monoxide Alarm
• 1 x Mounting Bracket
• 2 x Screws
• 2 x Anchor Plugs
• 1 x Battery (CR123A)
• 1 x User Manual

4. Setup and Installation

4.1 Battery Installation

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the detector by twisting it counter-clockwise.
2. Insert the provided CR123A battery into the battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+ and -).
3. Reattach the mounting bracket by aligning it and twisting clockwise until it clicks into place.

4.2 Choosing an Installation Location

For optimal protection, install CO detectors in every room that contains a fuel-burning appliance and in sleeping areas. Consider the following:

• Install at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) away from fuel-burning appliances.
• Install at least 0.3 meters (1 foot) from walls and corners if ceiling mounted.
• Avoid dead air spaces, such as the apex of a vaulted ceiling or gabled roofs.
• Do not install near vents, fans, or doors that could interfere with CO detection.
• Do not install in areas with extreme temperatures or high humidity.

4.3 Mounting the Detector

The XC01-WR can be installed on a wall or placed freestanding on a flat surface.

Wall Installation:

1. Choose a suitable location on a wall.
2. Mark the positions for the two screw holes using the mounting bracket as a template.
3. Drill holes and insert the anchor plugs.
4. Screw the mounting bracket to the wall.
5. Attach the detector to the mounting bracket by aligning it and twisting clockwise until it locks securely.

Freestanding Placement:

Simply place the detector on a stable, flat surface in the desired location. Ensure it is not easily knocked over and that its vents are unobstructed.

4.4 Interconnecting Detectors

If you have multiple X-Sense Link+ detectors, you can interconnect them wirelessly. Multi-pack detectors are pre-interconnected. For custom networks or adding new detectors:

1. To Disconnect: Press the Test/Silence button 4 times quickly on the detector you wish to disconnect. It will beep once to confirm.
2. To Interconnect: On the detector you want to add to the network, press the Test/Silence button 2 times quickly. It will beep twice to confirm. Then, on an already interconnected detector, press its Test/Silence button 4 times quickly. All detectors should then confirm interconnection.

5. Operating the Detector

5.1 Normal Operation

During normal operation, the green LED indicator will flash periodically, and the LCD screen will display '0 PPM' or the current CO concentration if any is detected.

5.2 Real-time CO Levels

The LCD screen provides real-time readings of carbon monoxide concentration in parts per million (PPM). This allows you to monitor the air quality and be aware of any rising CO levels.

5.3 Peak CO Level Memory

The detector stores the highest CO concentration detected since the last reset. To view the peak CO level, press the Test/Silence button once. The display will show the peak value. Press it again to return to real-time display.

5.4 Testing the Alarm

It is recommended to test your CO detector weekly. To test:

1. Press and hold the Test/Silence button for a few seconds.
2. The alarm will sound a loud siren, and the red LED will flash.
3. If interconnected, all other connected alarms will also sound.
4. Release the button. The alarm will stop.

5.5 Alarm Indication

When carbon monoxide is detected at dangerous levels, the detector will:

• Emit a loud alarm sound (85 dB at 3 meters).
• Flash the red LED indicator.
• Display the CO concentration on the LCD screen.
• If interconnected, all other X-Sense Link+ detectors in the network will also alarm simultaneously.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Battery Replacement

The detector uses a replaceable CR123A battery with a lifespan of approximately 5 years. When the battery is low, the detector will chirp periodically and the yellow LED will flash. Replace the battery immediately:

1. Twist the detector counter-clockwise to remove it from the mounting bracket.
2. Open the battery compartment.
3. Remove the old battery and dispose of it properly.
4. Insert a new CR123A battery, observing polarity.
5. Close the battery compartment and reattach the detector to the mounting bracket.
6. Test the alarm after battery replacement.



6.2 Sensor Life

The electrochemical CO sensor has a lifespan of 10 years. After 10 years, the detector will indicate its end-of-life, and the entire unit should be replaced.



6.3 Cleaning Your Detector

Clean your detector at least once a month to remove dust and debris. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use cleaning solutions or spray directly onto the detector. Do not remove the cover or attempt to clean the interior.
