The wireless CO detector must be registered to function in your 
EchoStream system. Transmitters must be registered with the system in 
order to be monitored and supervised. EN1245, EN1245A and EN1245Z 
wireless CO detectors send a check-in message every three minutes; 
EN1245-60 wireless CO detectors send a check-in message every 60 
minutes.

Note: For UL 2560 installations, transmitters must have a minimum check-
in time of 60 minutes.

Refer to your receiver, network coordinator or control panel manual for 
registration instructions. Inovonics recommends all EchoStream 
transmitters be supervised. 
4. When prompted to register the device, remove and reinstall the battery 

per section 6.1, “Replace the Battery” on page 4.

Choose a location for the wireless CO detector, paying attention to the 
following guidelines. 
Do install:

• Within 10 feet of all sleeping areas.
• On every floor of the building.
• In every room that contains a fuel-burning appliance.

Note: If the room with a fuel-burning appliance is not normally used, such 
as a boiler room, the detector should be placed just outside the room so 
that the alarm can be more easily heard.

Warning: In order to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a 3.94” 
(10 cm) distance must be maintained between all persons and the wireless 
CO detector.

Do not install:

• Within 10 feet of any cooking appliance.
• Directly above a sink, cooker, stove or oven.
• Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts.
• Near an extractor fan or air vent.
• Outside.
• In any environment that does not comply with the detector’s 

environmental specifications.

• In or below a cupboard.
• Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture.
• Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor.
• Where the detector could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently 

removed.

• To removable ceiling panels. Attach the detector across panel support 

as shown in Figure 3.

Caution: Airborne dust particles can enter the detector. Inovonics 
recommends removing CO detectors before beginning construction or any 
other dust-producing activity. Carbon monoxide detectors are not to be 
used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and 
found suitable for that purpose.

5. Referring to figure 4, use the included mounting screws and dry wall 

anchors to mount the wireless CO detector.

6. Referring to figure 4, fit the detector inside the base by aligning it such 

that the detector’s alignment notch is slightly offset from mounting 
base’s tamper release tab.

7. Turn the detector in a clockwise direction until it clicks into place.

8. Refer to section 3, “Test the Wireless CO Detector” to test the wireless 

CO detector.

There are two ways to test the wireless CO detector sensor: The system 
test and CO test. Both tests should be performed at least semi-annually per 
NFPA 720.
The wireless CO detector should also be tested after initial registration, as 
well as each time the battery is replaced.

Caution: Performing a system or a CO test will transmit an alarm signal.
