CO sensor (C models only)
Notice
The CO sensor is for detection enhancement only.
It is not a CO detector and cannot activate an
alarm in the presence of CO only.
The CO sensor is for detection enhancement only.
It is not a CO detector and cannot activate an
alarm in the presence of CO only.
Without the presence of CO, the smoke sensor is half
as sensitive to smoke as a standard commercial
photoelectric smoke detector. This reduces false
alarms. When the sensor detects CO, the detection
chamber's sensitivity to smoke increases so it is equal
to that of a standard commercial photoelectric smoke
chamber.

Contamination Sensor (all models)
The degree of contamination on the detector surface
or a blockage of the detector is continually measured
by the contamination (antimask) sensor. Heavy
contamination of the detector surface or a blockage
causes a fault indication.

dry reed contact with a magnet for at least 2 sec
but not more than 4 sec.
