CAMPING
ALARM CONDITION
If the COSTAR senses unsafe levels of CO, the RED L.E.D. will light up and the alarm
will sound. The alarm condition will be signified by a repetitive alarm-sounding pattern
of approximately 4.5 seconds on 1.5 second off. Immediate evacuation is required.
Pushing the test button will silence the alarm once for approximately 4 minutes.
After approximately 4 minutes the alarm will once again sound until the unsafe CO
concentration is removed.
FAULT CONDITION
Periodically the detector’s measurement circuit is tested. If an error is detected, the de-
tector will sound twice and the YELLOW L.E.D. will flash twice every 30 seconds. This is
an indication of circuit malfunction and that the detector requires immediate servicing.
MAINTENANCE
Battery Replacement:
If tamper resistant pin has been used, refer to “tamper resistant locking pin” for
removal instructions.
To replace the battery remove the detector from the mounting plate by rotating the
detector in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover.
The Model 9L-i CO Detector uses one (1) 9-volt battery. A 9V alkaline battery powers
the CO DETECTOR. A fresh battery should last for one year under normal operat-
ing conditions. This detector has a low battery monitor circuit which will cause the
detector to “chirp” and the red LED to flash approximately every 30-40 seconds for
a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the battery when
this condition occurs. USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES FOR CO
DETECTOR REPLACEMENT.
Alkaline type: EVEREADY522; DURACELL MN1604; GOLD PEAK 1604A
Lithium type: ULTRALIFE U9VL
NOTE: REGULAR TESTING IS RECOMMENDED.
WARNING: USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFER-
ENT BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE CO DETECTOR.
CLEANING YOUR DETECTOR:
To clean your detector remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the begin-
ning of this section.
You can clean the interior of your detector by using your vacuum cleaner hose and
vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the detector. The outside can
be wiped with a damp cloth.
AFTER CLEANING, REINSTALL YOUR DETECTOR. TEST YOUR DETECTOR BY
USING THE TEST BUTTON.
Test detector weekly for proper operation by pushing the test button until the YELLOW
L.E.D. lights and a short beep is heard (approximately three seconds). Release the
button. The detector will then test itself for proper operation. At completion of the self-
test, the alarm will sound and both L.E.D.s will light for 3/4 of a second. The detector
then resumes normal operation.
