2. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the detector from its packaging.
2. Protective Film: Before use, peel off any protective film from the display screen.
3. Plug-in: Insert the detector into a standard 110V-220V AC electrical outlet. The device is designed for plug-and-play operation.
4. Initial Adaptation: After plugging in, allow 180 seconds for the detector to adapt to its environment.
5. Temperature/Humidity Calibration: The unit may generate some heat after powering on. For more accurate humidity and temperature readings, wait approximately 30 minutes after initial plug-in.
6. Adjustable Plug: The detector features replaceable plugs, allowing it to be adapted to different outlet types if needed (additional plugs may be sold separately). The screen can also flip 180 degrees for optimal viewing depending on outlet orientation.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1. LCD Display Overview

The detector features a high-definition full-color LCD display that shows real-time data:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO): 0~999 PPM (± 10%)
• Combustible Gas (GAS): Indicator Strip GAS Lv 1-4 (0-15% LEL)
• Humidity: 0%~95% RH (±5%)
• Temperature: -10°C~50°C (±1.5°C) / 14°F~122°F (±2.7°F)
• Carbon Monoxide indicator icon and alarm status.

4. Alarm System

The detector features a dual alarm system with both audible and flashing light alerts.

• Audible Alarm: Emits a loud ≥ 85 dB alarm.
• Visual Alarm: Flashes a color light corresponding to the detected gas level.

Alarm thresholds:

• Carbon Monoxide (CO): ≥ 51 PPM
• Combustible Gas: ≥ 5% LEL (Lower Explosive Limit)

The display provides clear indications of gas levels:

Image: The detector's screen is shown with a detailed legend explaining the different CO (Carbon Monoxide) and GAS (Combustible Gas) levels. It categorizes levels into "Good" (green indicator, no audible alarm), "Attention" (yellow-orange indicator blinking slowly, >85 dB audible alarm), "Warning" (orange indicator blinking fast, >85 dB audible alarm), and "Danger" (red indicator blinking fast, >85 dB audible alarm), providing clear visual cues for safety.

6. Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the detector clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings are not obstructed.
• Self-Test: Periodically perform a self-test using the designated button to confirm the alarm system is functioning correctly.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the detector to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct water spray.

7. Troubleshooting

• False Alarms / High Readings:
  • If the detector gives high gas readings or false alarms, especially in cold temperatures, ensure the device has had sufficient time to adapt to the environment (180 seconds after plugging in) and stabilize its temperature (30 minutes for accurate readings).
  • Verify there are no actual gas leaks or sources of carbon monoxide in the vicinity.
  • Consider the placement of the detector; avoid areas with high humidity, direct heat, or strong air currents that might affect sensor accuracy.
• No Display / Device Not Powering On:
  • Check if the outlet is functioning correctly by plugging in another device.
  • Ensure the detector is fully inserted into the outlet.
• Alarm Sound Issues:
  • If the alarm is too quiet or not sounding, check if the sound has been muted using the "Sound On/Off" button.
  • Perform a self-test to verify the alarm functionality.
