Description
The TX-6310-01-1 wireless carbon monoxide (CO) alarm monitors
the levels of CO gas and gives early warning when potentially
dangerous levels exist. It does not detect fire, smoke, or any other
gas. If a dangerous concentration of CO is detected by patented
and field-proven electrochemical sensor, an LED indicator
illuminates and an internal siren is activated in temporal 4 pattern.
The CO alarm also transmits an alarm signal to the control panel
within 15 seconds of detecting dangerous concentration of CO
gas. The control panel activates its internal siren and reports the
alarm condition to the central monitoring station (if the system is
monitored). The CO alarm also detects low battery, wall tamper,
and sensor end-of-life. These trouble codes are transmitted to the
control panel which reports the condition to the central
monitoring station. The alarm automatically reset when CO is no
longer detected.
