Indicator Lights

  • POWER (Green): Indicates the device is receiving power and functioning normally.
  • FAULT (Yellow): Indicates a malfunction or error with the device. Refer to the Troubleshooting section.
  • ALARM (Red): Illuminates when carbon monoxide levels reach a dangerous threshold, accompanied by an audible alarm and voice alert.

Alarm Response Times

The alarm is triggered based on specific carbon monoxide concentrations and exposure durations:

  • 50 ppm: Alarm sounds within 60-90 minutes.
  • 100 ppm: Alarm sounds within 10-40 minutes.
  • ≥150 ppm: Alarm sounds within 3 seconds.

Troubleshooting

If your WESHLGD WA996 Carbon Monoxide Alarm exhibits unusual behavior, refer to the following:

    2. Call your emergency services (e.g., 911) or fire department.
    3. Do not re-enter the premises until it has been cleared by emergency responders and the source of CO has been identified and corrected.
  • FAULT Indicator (Yellow Light) On: This indicates an internal malfunction. Unplug the device, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If the fault persists, the unit may need replacement. Contact customer support.
