Setup and Installation
The X-Sense XC0K-SN Carbon Monoxide Detector offers flexible placement options, allowing it to be mounted on a wall or placed on a flat surface like a desk or countertop.
Wall Mounting
- Separate the mounting bracket from the detector by twisting the detector counter-clockwise.
- Use the provided screws and anchor plugs to secure the mounting bracket to your desired wall location. Ensure the location is appropriate for CO detection (refer to local regulations and safety guidelines).
- Align the detector with the mounted bracket and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place.
Desktop/Countertop Placement
For flexible placement without wall mounting, simply place the detector on a stable, flat surface. Ensure it is in a location where its alarm can be heard and is not obstructed.

Operating Instructions
The X-Sense XC0K-SN is designed for straightforward operation, providing clear indicators for its status and detected CO levels.
LCD Display
The clear, informative LCD displays real-time carbon monoxide (CO) levels in parts per million (PPM) and the battery status. The display only illuminates during button operation or when an event (fault or alarm) is triggered, ensuring it does not disturb sleep.

Tri-Color LED Indicator
- Green: Indicates normal operation.
- Yellow: Warns of a fault or malfunction.
- Red: Indicates an alarm, signaling dangerous CO levels. Move to fresh air and call 911 immediately.
Peak Button
Pressing the exclusive Peak Button will display the highest CO level detected since the last reset. This feature allows you to check for potential risks even if you have been away from home.

Test/Silence Button
The 'TEST/SILENCE' button allows you to test the alarm's functionality and silence it during an alarm event. Regular testing is recommended to ensure the device is working correctly.
Maintenance
The X-Sense XC0K-SN Carbon Monoxide Detector is designed for minimal maintenance due to its built-in 10-year sealed lithium battery.
- Battery: The high-performance lithium battery is sealed and designed to last the entire 10-year lifespan of the device. No battery replacements or calibration are needed.
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the detector with a soft, damp cloth to prevent dust buildup. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
- Testing: Press the 'TEST/SILENCE' button periodically (e.g., monthly) to ensure the alarm sounds and the device is functioning correctly.
Troubleshooting
If your X-Sense XC0K-SN detector indicates a fault or alarm, follow these steps:
- Yellow LED (Fault): If the yellow LED illuminates, it indicates a device malfunction. Refer to the detailed user manual for specific fault codes or contact customer support.
- Red LED (Alarm): If the red LED illuminates and the alarm sounds, it indicates dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Immediately move to fresh air and call 911 or your local emergency services. Do not re-enter the premises until it has been deemed safe by professionals.
- No Display: If the LCD display is not showing information, press the 'TEST/SILENCE' button to activate it. If it remains blank, the device may be faulty or at the end of its lifespan.
Carbon Monoxide Safety Information
