Introduction
This user manual provides essential information for the installation and operation of your X-Sense Carbon Monoxide Alarm. It is recommended to read this manual thoroughly and keep it for future reference. If the alarm is being installed for others, ensure this manual is provided to the end-user.
The X-Sense Carbon Monoxide Alarm is a battery-powered, standalone device featuring an advanced electrochemical sensor for domestic use. It is designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO) only and does not detect smoke, heat, flames, or other gases. For comprehensive fire safety, it is crucial to also install smoke alarms.
Key Features
- Advanced electrochemical sensor for accurate CO detection.
- LCD display showing CO concentration and alarm status.
- LED indicator (Red/Yellow/Green) for visual alerts.
- Test/Silence button for testing and silencing alarms.
- Peak CO concentration memory and reset function.
- Low-battery and end-of-life warnings.
Installation Guidelines
Proper placement is vital for effective CO detection. Install alarms in every room with a fuel-burning appliance and in every bedroom. If the number of alarms is limited, prioritize bedrooms and rooms with flueless or open-flued appliances. Avoid installing the alarm in locations such as garages, dusty areas, near cooking appliances, or in extremely humid or poorly ventilated spaces.
For detailed installation instructions, including wall mounting and placement on a table, please refer to the relevant sections within the full manual.

Test the alarm weekly and after extended absences from home. Familiarize yourself with the different alarm modes, including the audible and visual alerts, and understand the meaning of the LCD display indicators.
