The unit's sensing chamber houses a light source and a light sensor. The darkened sensing chamber is exposed to the atmosphere and designed to permit optimum smoke entry from any direction while rejecting light from outside the detector. The light source is an infrared (invisible) LED which pulses every 4 to 8 seconds. The light sensor is a photodiode matched to the light frequency of the LED light source. Installation Instructions - Owner's Information READ CAREFULLY AND SAVE Under normal conditions, the light generated by the pulsing infrared LED is not seen by the light sensor. When smoke enters the sensing chamber, light from the pulsing LED light source is reflected by the smoke particles onto the photodiode light sensor. At the first sighting of smoke, the smoke detector is put into a pre-alarm mode. This is indicated by a rapidly flashing LED on the face of the smoke detector. Once the light sensor confirms smoke for 2 consecutive pulses inside the chamber, the light sensor produces the signal necessary to trigger the alarm. This technique of verifying the smoke condition, combined with a 5-to-1 signal-to- noise ratio, substantially reduces the possibility of nuisance alarms.

NOTICE: THE WIRING TO BE USED SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 300.3(B) OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, NFPA 70, AS WELL AS ARTICLE 210. CAUTION: Break wire runs to provide supervision for connections made to each wire pair. FIGURE A CLASS B PANEL WIRING DIAGRAM 550-0139 Pg. 8-2 CLASS A PANEL WIRING DIAGRAM FIGURE B SECURE SMOKE DETECTOR TO MOUNTING PLATE 1. Plug the wire connector into the detector base. 2. Place the smoke detector up to the mounting plate, rotating it clockwise until smoke detector firmly snap locks into place. Keep the smoke detector parallel to the mounting plate so upper and lower tabs on plate seat correctly into detector, FIGURE H. FIGURE H FIGURE G FIGURE C CLASS B PANEL WIRING DIAGRAM - ONE SMOKE DETECTOR PER ZONE FIGURE D CLASS A PANEL WIRING DIAGRAM - ONE SMOKE DETECTOR PER ZONE 2. If wall mounting is desired, be sure the box screws are oriented to upper right and lower left corners, FIGURE F. The volume of the box is determined by the number of conductors entering and exiting the box. Use 1-3/4 cubic inches per conductor (#16 AWG). INSTALL MOUNTING PLATE & CONNECT WIRES 1. Remove the plug and wire assembly from the shipping container and wire it in junction box as follows: 2. Major Circuits (power in, power out, and alarm contacts) have two wires, one for the incoming circuit and one for the outgoing circuit. Auxiliary relay contacts are single wire circuits. Make connections as detailed on wiring diagrams, FIGUREG. 3. Lace the connector through the provided mounting plate and secure the plate to the junction box. NOTICE: FOR TROUBLE AREAS WHERE THERE CAN BE A LARGE VOLUME OF AIR BLOWING OUT THROUGH THE ELECTRICAL JUNCTION BOX. YOU MUST FIRST INSERT THE CARDBOARD SHIELD PACKAGED WITH YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR TO THE BACKSIDE OF THE SMOKE DETECTOR BEFORE SECURING IT TO MOUNTING PLATE. CHECKOUT & TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Turn test knob on each unit to the NORMAL position and supply power to the system Control Unit. a. If the fire alarm sounds, one or more smoke detector connections to the fire detection circuit may be reversed. Check wire color codes and trace. b. If the trouble buzzer sounds, the fire detection circuit may be reversed or disconnected at the Control Unit. 2. Testing with the Test Knob. a. Rotate the test knob on the front of the unit to TEST 1 position (counter- clockwise). See FIGURE I. The alarm should sound in less than 20 seconds. b. To reset the system, return the knob to its NORMAL position and use the reset switch on the system Control Panel. Hold in reset for 5 or more seconds. c. To test smoke detector for high sensitivity, rotate test knob clockwise to the TEST 2 position. Alarm should remain silent. Return test knob to normal position. If your smoke detector alarmed during TEST 2, the smoke detector's sensitivity has become too high and may cause false alarms. This may mean your smoke detector is dirty and should be cleaned as described in the below maintenance procedure. d. If your detector still alarms in TEST 2 position following washing and recommended drying time, return it to Gentex Corporation for service. The test knob actually tests the sensitivity of the unit by using the same principle involved as when smoke enters the smoke detector. When you turn the test knob to the TEST 1 position, you are scattering the detector's LED light to the equivalent of 3.4% actual smoke. TEST 2 position is equivalent to 0.85%. 550-0139 Pg. 8-3 SMOKE DETECTOR SMOKE DETECTOR RELEASING DEVICE 120VAC (Neutral) (WHITE) or 24VDC (Negative) (BLACK) 120VAC (Hot) (BLACK) or 24VDC (Positive) (RED) IN IN OUT OUT YELLOW POWER SUPPLY YELLOW ORANGE ORANGE FIGURE E RELEASING DEVICE WIRING DIAGRAM FIGURE F NOTICE: ONLY IVORY® DISHWASHING LIQUID IS TO BE USED. OTHER BRANDS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AND MAY CAUSE YOUR DETECTOR TO MALFUNCTION. 6. Allow smoke detector to soak for approximately 10 minutes (longer if extremely dirty). Then agitate for 5 or 10 seconds to flush out any remaining dirt left inside detector's housing. 7. Remove detector from wash water and transfer directly to one of the first rinse buckets containing clear water. Again, allowing smoke detector to become completely submerged, agitate once more for 5 or 10 seconds to remove soap residue. 8. Finally, transfer detector to your second and final rinse bucket, repeating method found in Step 7, then remove smoke detector to a clean dry area for a period of 48 hours to allow it to thoroughly dry. IMPORTANT: It is recommended to change wash and rinse water after five (5) smoke alarms. If your devices are extremely dirty, water should be changed more frequently. NOTICE: SMOKE DETECTORS ARE TO AIR DRY ONLY. DO NOT PLACE SMOKE DETECTOR IN OVEN OR USE A HOT AIR BLOWER TO ACCELERATE DRYING TIME. THIS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR. In the event you experience difficulty in the cleaning of your smoke detectors or if you have any questions, please contact Gentex Corporation or your local Gentex distributor If the smoke detector does not work properly, do not try and fix it yourself. This will void your warranty. See "To Return a Smoke Detector" for instructions to return smoke detectors that do not operate properly. DO NOT TRY TO FIX IT YOURSELF. IMPORTANT: Gentex recommends smoke detectors be tested a minimum of once a week. Never use an open flame of any kind to test your smoke detector. You may ignite and damage the smoke detector as well as the surrounding area. The test feature of your smoke detector accurately simulates smoke conditions and tests the smoke detectors functions as required by ANSI/UL 268. Do not cover, tape, or otherwise block the openings of your smoke alarm. These openings are designed to allow air to pass through your smoke detector, thus sampling the air around the smoke detector. Smoke detectors are not to be used with detector guards unless the combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose. NOTICE: FAILURE TO REGULARLY CLEAN THIS SMOKE DETECTOR MAY RESULT IN NUISANCE ALARMS. A BUILD UP OF DUST CREATES AN OBSCURATION THAT \SIMULATES SMOKE. THIS MEANS THE UNIT MAY GO INTO ALARM WITHOUT A SMOKE CONDITION. TO RETURN A SMOKE DETECTOR Should you experience problems with your smoke detector, proceed as follows: 1. Turn off electrical power to the detector. 2. Rotate the detector counter-clockwise to remove it from its mounting plate. 3. Unplug the connector from the back of the detector. Do not remove the wire connection; leave the connector for your replacement detector. If the system is to remain active while the detector is removed, a jumper plug must be installed. Contact factory for part. 4. Carefully pack (the manufacturer cannot be responsible for consequential damage) and return to the manufacturer. Include complete details as to exact nature of difficulties being experienced and date of installation. 5. Return to: Gentex Corporation, 10985 Chicago Drive, Zeeland, Michigan 49464.

The test knob is not an electrical switch, nor is it connected in any way to the alarm horn. Therefore, when you test with the test knob, you are simulating the smoke condition in the detector and testing all elements of the smoke detector that are necessary for the detection of actual smoke. To check for proper smoke entry into your smoke detector's sensing chamber, Gentex recommends using the Home Safeguard Smoke Detector spray or CHEKKIT® SMOKE Detector Tester from SDI. This test should be performed once a year and should be sprayed from a distance no closer than 12 inches from smoke detector (refer to NFPA 72 for details). 3. A trouble buzzer will sound if any detector is removed from its socket in supervised circuits. CAUTION: When a smoke detector is removed it may cause other smoke detectors to have a loss of power and become inoperative. If this happens, reconnect the smoke detector until a replacement can be installed, or use a jumper plug which can be ordered separately from the factory. 4. Power-On- Alarm Light. The LED on the face of the smoke detector blinks every 15-30 seconds, indicating electrical power is being supplied, see FIGURE I. If the smoke (or test knob) persists for about 20 seconds, the LED will be on continuously for latching models or flash rapidly for non-latching models to indicate the alarm condition of the smoke detector. It will stay on until the system is reset. MAINTENANCE After your smoke detector has been in operation for a period of time or if it was installed prior to the completion of all building construction, your smoke detector may have become more sensitive due to dirt build-up in the smoke detector's optic sensing chamber. This could cause nuisance alarms or cause the smoke detector to activate from small amounts of smoke build-up. If this should occur, following this simple washing procedure will restore your smoke detector back to its original condition. For further information regarding frequency of maintenance and testing, refer to NFPA 72, NFPA, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. NOTICE: FAILURE TO FOLLOW FULL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS SMOKE DETECTOR. 1. Turn off electrical power to the detector. 2. Twist the smoke detector counter-clockwise to remove it from its mounting plate. The fire alarm system shall remain active during all maintenance. Therefore, while servicing one smoke detector, either use a replacement smoke detector or jumper plug to keep the fire alarm system operative. Contact your local Gentex distributor for the proper jumper plugs to use with your fire system. 3. Unplug the connector from the back of the smoke detector. Do not remove the wire connection; leave the connector for your replacement smoke detector or jumper plug. 4. Select three (3) standard size wash buckets and fill them each with one gallon of normal tap water (distilled or de-ionized treated water is recommended as a final rinse if water is extremely hard in your area). 5. Add 1/8 cup of Ivory® dishwashing liquid to the first bucket of water and allow it to mix thoroughly, then place dirty smoke detector in the soap water mixture until it becomes completely covered or submerged. NOTE: If the smoke detectors are exceptionally dirty, you may wish to first wipe off any excess dirt before washing smoke detector so as not to dirty the wash water too quickly. DO NOT open smoke alarm for cleaning. IF SMOKE ALARM IS OPENED DURING CLEANING, PRODUCT WARRANTY BECOMES VOID.

It is not to be considered all-inclusive nor is it intended to replace the policy and procedures for each facility, residence or office. This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of carbon monoxide gases. Misuse may produce an inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in overexposure and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical Service. LOCATION There are two usual sources of CO - defective heat sources (furnaces or wood burning stoves) and automobiles running in adjoining garages. The CM-E1 can detect CO from these sources, as well as any other sources of CO. ! WARNING 6 For best operation, mount a CM-E1 in the hallway near each bedroom or office area. In addition, another CM-E1 may be mounted just inside the door from the adjoining garage. Consider placing another detector in a bedroom or office that is adjacent to a furnace room. This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units and office workspaces. The CM-E1 is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. (UL 2034) Do NOT mount the unit in the garage. Do NOT mount the CM-E1 where the normal ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or exceeds 100°F (37.8°C), or within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a cooking or heating appliance. INSTALLATION 1. As shipped, the CM-E1 faceplate is mounted on the enclosure's rear-housing component. This enclosure configuration allows the unit to be surface mounted flush on a wall. Wiring is routed through an access area on the base of the rear housing. 2. A thin mid-plate enclosure component is also supplied with the CM-E1. Using the supplied screws, this mid-plate component is used to mount the CM-E1 on a 2 x 4 inch (5.08cm x 10.16 cm) switch box - single-gang or "handy", provided by the installer. The CM-E1's faceplate component (with the detector attached) is then mounted on the mid- plate component. 3. The detector may be installed on either a ceiling or a wall. If installed on a peaked, gabled, or sloped ceiling, it should be located about 3 feet (1 meter) from the highest point. The unit can be placed vertically or horizontally on a wall, so the information on the front of the CM-E1 can be read in a normal manner (not upside down). Do NOT mount the CM-E1 in a corner. Use the same spacing as for smoke detectors-- 30 foot (9 meters) centers, 900 sq. feet (83 sq. meters) per detector. 4. Electrical connections to the CM-E1 are made via the supplied six-conductor pigtail cable. The pigtail cable is first connected to the control panel wiring by means of wire-nuts (refer to the diagrams for proper pigtail wiring). The pigtail cable's connector then snaps into the mating connector on the back of the CM-E1 detector, allowing easy installation and replacement of the CM-E1. For proper detector operation, ensure that the CM-E1 is connected to a continuous source of power (not controlled by a wall switch). The CM-E1 current draw figures represent worst-case conditions and will not vary as the applied DC voltage varies. 5. The alarm control panel zone inputs must be terminated with end of line resistors (E.O.L.R.), which are provided with the panel. 6. When using the CM-E1 with normally closed initiating circuits, remove the jumper. 7. See wiring diagram for information below on connections of the CM-E1. Macurco™ recommends a minimum of 22 AWG wire for runs up to 200 ft. (6096 m), and 18 AWG wire for longer runs. ! WARNING 7 The relay of the CM-E1 is a dry contact and rated at 100mA, 40VDC. It is not suitable for fan control use. When connecting the units to remote buzzers or other devices (all buzzers or "other devices" must be UL approved), make sure that the load does not exceed the relay’s rating. External buzzers must be capable of generating a sound output greater than 85 dBA at 10 ft (3.048 M). Power Up When the unit is turned on it performs a self-test, which activates the audible and visual alarms. If the self-test fails, or all the alarms do not activate, do not use. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death. When the detector is first powered, the status light will alternate between RED and GREEN as the unit performs a 2-1/2 minute warm-up cycle and self-test procedure. The buzzer on the CM-E1 will cycle once, emitting its characteristic 4-chirp tone. At the end of this 2-1/2 minute cycle, the status light will turn GREEN to indicate normal operation and air below the danger levels of carbon monoxide. The alarm relay is not energized during the 2-1/2 minute warm-up cycle. Operation ! WARNING 8 The CM-E1 continuously monitors the ambient air at the sensor. If the CM-E1 measures levels of CO greater than the danger level, the RED light will turn on, the Alarm Relay will switch to actuate the alarm circuits in the control panel, and the buzzer on CM-E1 units will sound. The CM-E1 is programmed to alarm if the danger levels of carbon monoxide are exceeded, which are time and concentration-related. The alarm points are: 70 ppm of CO after 60 to 240 minutes, 150 ppm of CO after 10 to 50 minutes, and 400 ppm of CO after 4 to 15 minutes, in accordance with the provisions of UL Standard 2034. Individuals with certain medical problems may consider using warning devices that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations below 30 ppm. (UL 2034) ALARMS Immediately exit the environment if it causes an alarm condition on the detector. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death. INSTALLER NOTE: It is required that the following UL information below be posted near the control/alarm panel or a copy provided to the customer. WARNING: Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU. If alarm signal sounds: 1) Operate the reset/silence button; 2) Call your emergency services (____________________) [fire department or 911]; 3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR - DO NOT RE-ENTER PREMISES NOR MOVE AWAY FROM THE OPEN DOOR/WINDOW UNTIL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES RESPONDERS HAVE ARRIVED, THE PREMISES HAS BEEN AIRED OUT, AND THE ALARM REMAINS IN ITS NORMAL CONDITION 4) After following steps 1 - 3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1 - 3 and call a qualified technician (____________________) to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note: Any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, consult the manufacturers' instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and the equipment Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. (UL 2034) The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: - Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as “Flu-like” symptoms). - Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. - Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, and death. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected. ! WARNING ! WARNING ! WARNING 9 Transient CO situations can occur: 1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as: a) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). b) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans. c) Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air. d) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters. e) Obstruction or unconventional vent pipe designs, which can amplify the above situations. 2. Extended operation of un-vented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.). 3. Temperature inversions, which can trap, exhaust gasses near the ground. 4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home. (UL 2034) The CM-E1 will automatically stop alarming once the air clears, timing will depend on the CO exposure time and the CO level. RESET/SILENCE SWITCH The switch on the front of the CM-E1 labeled “TEST/RESET,” performs four functions. 1.) A short press of switch, less than 5 seconds, will place the unit into self test mode with no alarm relay activation. The buzzer will sound for two complete alarm cycles, the status light will turn red for 5 seconds and then it will alternate slowly between green and amber while the self-test executes. The controlling software simulates a 3000 ppm CO environment and causes the unit to alarm after approximately one minute has elapsed. When this happens, the status light turns red and the buzzer will sound two complete alarm cycles. The unit will then return to normal operation. 2.) A long press of switch, 5 or more seconds long, will place the unit into self-test mode with alarm relay activation. Pressing and holding the switch will cause the buzzer to sound for two complete alarm cycles and status light to turn red for 5 seconds and then switch to solid amber. The alarm relay will then be activated and the switch can be released. After about 5 seconds, the alarm relay will turn off and the status light will alternate slowly between green and amber while the self test executes. The controlling software simulates a 3000 ppm CO environment and causes the unit to alarm after approximately one minute has elapsed. When this happens, the status light turns red and the buzzer will sound two complete alarm cycles. The unit will then return to normal operation. 3.) If the CM-E1 is in an alarm condition due to the detection of carbon monoxide, one push of the switch will cause the alarm buzzer to mute for five minutes. After the five-minute period, if CO is still present, the status light will again switch to RED, the alarm relay will close and the buzzer will sound. If after the five-minute period, the detected CO level has dropped below 70ppm, the CM-E1 unit will reset. 4.) If the CM-E1 is at the end of its seven year life the TEST/RESET switch can be used to temporarily silence the buzzer function. See section "End-of-life Indicator" Do not cover or obstruct audible alarm opening or visual alarm LED. Doing so may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death. TROUBLE INDICATOR Internal failure of the CM-E1 will cause an open circuit in the normally closed (NC) Trouble Relay to provide for actuation of the control panel circuits. The status LED will flash AMBER and the CM-E1 buzzer will emit a short “chirp” every 50 seconds. See ERRORS section. The CM-E1 microprocessor continuously monitors various detector parameters. Failure of the CM-E1’s internal power supply or a lack of power to the detector will result in the status light remaining OFF (not illuminated). In this case, the most common cause of detector trouble would be a break in the wiring between the control panel and the CM-E1. END-OF-LIFE INDICATOR ! WARNING 10 Seven years after the CM-E1 is installed the end-of-life signal will be activated indicating that the CM-E1 has reached the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. The end-of-life signal will cause an open circuit in the normally closed (NC) Trouble Relay to provide actuation of the signal circuits. The status LED will flash alternate AMBER and OFF every 2 seconds and the CM-E1 buzzer will emit a short "chirp" every 50 seconds. The end-of-life buzzer can be silenced for 48 hours by pressing the "TEST/RESET" button. The silencing of the buzzer also resets the Trouble Relay to the Normally Closed (NC) position. The silence function will continue to be available for 29 days after the CM-E1 initiates an end-of-life signal. After this 29 day period the CM-E1 can no longer be silenced and must be replaced. ERRORS The CM-E1 continuously monitors various internal operating parameters. If a problem is found, the unit will switch to Trouble mode. See TROUBLE INDICATOR section. To reset the unit for normal operation, press the TEST/RESET switch, or remove power to the unit, wait a few seconds, then re-apply unit power. If this problem persists, your detector requires repair; contact the alarm panel installer or Macurco Tech Support for advice. If repair is required, return the unit to manufacturer to comply with warranty. MAINTENANCE Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this detector. This detector contains no user serviceable parts, and substitution of components may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death. The CM-E1 has a highly linear electrochemical sensor. The CM-E1 has an expiry function associated with the installation date which will cause the unit to indicate “end-of-life” when the sensor has expired. See section "End- of-life Indicator" All maintenance and repair of products manufactured by Macurco are to be performed at the Macurco Service Center. Macurco does not sanction any third-party repair facilities. TESTING The CM-E1 should be tested monthly by pushing the TEST/RESET switch; see TEST/RESET switch section. Normally this will be the only test required for the CM-E1 and is the recommended way to test the unit or units after installation. All CM-E1 units are factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation. The unit also has the ability to automatically self test and does so every 2 1/2 minute cycle. If the unit detects an improper voltage or inoperable component it will default into Trouble mode. See TROUBLE INDICATOR section. Check that the CM-E1 status indicator light is illuminated, (GREEN) continuously. If not, do not proceed with the tests. Though there is no field calibration procedure for this unit, there is an optional field test procedure. CLEANING The CM-E1 should be cleaned using the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. The CM-E1 should be tested after cleaning to ensure the unit is operating normally. SENSOR POISONS The gas sensor in the detector is designed with extreme sensitivity to the environment. As a result, the CO sensor may be damaged if it is exposed to a direct spray from aerosols such as paints, silicone vapors, etc., or to a high density of corrosive gases such as hydrogen sulfide or sulfur dioxide for an extended period of time. The sensor may react to chemicals such as ammoniated cleaning agents, volatile solvents and hydrogen gas. In sufficient concentration, these chemicals may cause a false alarm. CAUTION: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used. (UL 2034) ! WARNING !

It is not to be considered all-inclusive nor is it intended to replace the policy and procedures for each facility, residence or office. ! WARNING This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of carbon monoxide gases. Misuse may produce an inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in overexposure and causesickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical Service. 8 LOCATION There are two usual sources of CO - defective heat sources (furnaces or wood burning stoves) and automobiles running in adjoining garages. The CM-E1 can detect CO from these sources, as well as any other sources of CO. For best operation, mount a CM-E1 in the hallway near each bedroom or office area. In addition, another CM-E1 may be mounted just inside the door from the adjoining garage. Consider placing another detector in a bedroom or office that is adjacent to a furnace room. ! WARNING This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units and office workspaces. The CM-E1 is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. (UL 2034) Do NOT mount the unit in the garage. Do NOT mount the CM-E1 where the normal ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or exceeds 100°F (37.8°C), or within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a cooking or heating appliance. INSTALLATION 1. As shipped, the CM-E1 faceplate is mounted on the enclosure's rear-housing component. This enclosure configuration allows the unit to be surface mounted flush on a wall. Wiring is routed through an access area on the base of the rear housing. 2. A thin mid-plate enclosure component is also supplied with the CM-E1. Using the supplied screws, this mid-plate component is used to mount the CM-E1 on a 2 x 4 inch (5.08cm x 10.16 cm) switch box - single-gang or "handy", provided by the installer. The CM-E1's faceplate component (with the detector attached) is then mounted on the mid-plate component. 3. The detector may be installed on either a ceiling or a wall. If installed on a peaked, gabled, or sloped ceiling, it should be located about 3 feet (1 meter) from the highest point. The unit can be placed vertically or horizontally on a wall, so the information on the front of the CM-E1 can be read in a normal manner (not upside down). Do NOT mount the CM-E1 in a corner. Use the same spacing as for smoke detectors-- 30 foot (9 meters) centers, 900 sq. feet (83 sq. meters) per detector. 9 4. Electrical connections to the CM-E1 are made via the supplied eight-conductor pigtail cable. The pigtail cable is first connected to the control panel wiring by means of wire-nuts (refer to the diagrams for proper pigtail wiring). The pigtail cable's connector then snaps into the mating connector on the back of the CM-E1 detector, allowing easy installation and replacement of the CM-E1. 5. For proper detector operation, ensure that the CM-E1 is connected to a continuous source of power (not controlled by a wall switch). The CM-E1 current draw figures represent worst-case conditions and will not vary as the applied DC voltage varies. 6. To meet the requirements of ANSI/UL 2075, Second Edition, the CM-E1 carbon monoxide detector employs duplicate power leads (Red and Black) where the first pair of power leads goes into the first carbon monoxide detector and the second pair of power leads goes to the next detector on the loop. 7. The alarm control panel zone inputs must be terminated with end of line resistors (E.O.L.R.), which are provided with the panel. The CM-E1 has an optional internal audible sounder and should be connected to a Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panel with an audible device that provides at least 85 dBA sound output. See BUZZER option in the OPERATION section. 8. When using the CM-E1 with normally closed initiating circuits, remove the Alarm Relay jumper located on the back of the CM-E1 detector near the eight-conductor pigtail cable connector. Removing the Alarm Relay jumper changes the normally open relay of the CM-E1 to a normally closed relay. 9. See wiring diagram for information below on connections of the CM-E1. Macurco recommends a minimum of 22 AWG wire for runs up to 200 ft. (61 m), and 18 AWG wire for longer runs. NOTE: There is an Alarm Relay jumper on the PCA to change the alarm relay configuration. Removing the Alarm Relay jumper changes the normally open alarm relay of the CM-E1 to a normally closed alarm relay. 10. The relay of the CM-E1 is a dry contact and rated at 100mA, 40VDC. It is not suitable for fan control use. When connecting the units to remote buzzers or other devices (all buzzers or "other devices" must be UL approved), make sure that the load does not exceed the relays rating. External buzzers must be capable of generating a sound output greater than 85 dBA at 10 ft (3.048 M). 10 Power Up ! WARNING When the unit is turned on it performs a self-test, which activates the audible and visual alarms. If the self-test fails, or all the alarms do not activate, do not use. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death. When the detector is first powered, the status light will alternate between Red and Green as the unit performs a 2-1/2 minute warm-up cycle and self-test procedure. The buzzer on the CM-E1 will cycle once (if the BUZZER is enabled), emitting its characteristic 4-chirp tone. At the end of this 2-1/2 minute cycle, the status light will turn Green to indicate normal operation and air below the danger levels of carbon monoxide. The alarm relay is not energized during the 2-1/2 minute warm-up cycle. Operation The CM-E1 continuously monitors the ambient air at the sensor. If the CM-E1 measures levels of CO greater than the danger level, the Red light will turn on, the Alarm Relay will switch to actuate the alarm circuits in the control panel, and the buzzer on CM-E1 units will sound (if the BUZZER is enabled) . The CM-E1 is programmed to alarm if the danger levels of carbon monoxide are exceeded, which are time and concentration-related. The alarm points are: 70 parts per million (ppm) of CO after 60 to 240 minutes, 150 ppm of CO after 10 to 50 minutes, and 400 ppm of CO after 4 to 15 minutes, in accordance with the provisions of UL Standard 2034. In the configuration, as shipped from the factory, the CM-E1 has an internal audible sounder. A jumper on the circuit board can be removed to disable the internal audible sounder. If the Buzzer jumper on the circuit board is removed the CM-E1 should be connected to a Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panel with an audible device that provides at least 85 dBA sound output. The CM-E1 can be modified, either before or after installation, to disable the internal audible sounder. Locate the blue jumper labeled Buzzer on the printed circuit board under the buzzer. Remove this jumper to disable the internal audible sounder. ! WARNING Individuals with certain medical problems may consider using warning devices that provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations below 30 ppm. (UL 2034) 11 ALARMS ! WARNING Immediately exit the environment if it causes an alarm condition on the detector. Failure to do so may result in sickness or death. INSTALLER NOTE: It is required that the following UL information below be posted near the control/alarm panel or a copy provided to the customer. WARNING: Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can KILL YOU. If alarm signal sounds: 1) Operate the reset/silence button. 2) Call your emergency services (____________________) [fire department or 911]. 3) Immediately move to fresh air - outdoors or by an open door/window. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR - DO NOT RE- ENTER PREMISES NOR MOVE AWAY FROM THE OPEN DOOR/WINDOW UNTIL THE EMERGENCY SERVICES RESPONDERS HAVE ARRIVED, THE PREMISES HAS BEEN AIRED OUT, AND THE ALARM REMAINS IN ITS NORMAL CONDITION. 4) After following steps 1 - 3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified technician (_______________) to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. NOTE: Any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician, consult the manufacturers' instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, and have not been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. (UL 2034) 12 ! WARNING The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: - Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as Flu-like symptoms). - Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate. - Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, and death. Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected. Transient CO situations can occur: 1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as: a) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). b) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans. c) Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air. d) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters. e) Obstruction or unconventional vent pipe designs, which can amplify the above situations. 2. Extended operation of un-vented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.). 3. Temperature inversions, which can trap, exhaust gasses near the ground. 4. Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home. (UL 2034) The CM-E1 will automatically stop alarming once the air clears (timing will depend on the CO exposure time and the CO level). RESET/SILENCE SWITCH The switch on the front of the CM-E1 labeled TEST/RESET, performs five functions. 1. A short press of switch, less than 5 seconds, will place the unit into self test mode with no alarm relay activation. The buzzer will sound for two complete alarm cycles, the status light will turn Red for 5 seconds and then it will alternate slowly between Green and Amber while the self-test executes. The controlling software simulates a 3000 ppm CO environment and causes the unit to alarm after approximately one minute has elapsed. When this happens, the status light turns Red and the buzzer will sound two complete alarm cycles (if the BUZZER is enabled). The unit will then return to normal operation. 2. A long press of switch, 5 or more seconds long, will place the unit into self-test mode with alarm relay activation. Pressing and holding the switch will cause the buzzer to sound (if the BUZZER is enabled) for two complete alarm cycles and status light to turn Red for 5 seconds and then switch to solid Amber. The alarm relay will then be activated and the switch can be released. After about 5 seconds, the alarm relay will turn off and the status light will alternate slowly between Green and Amber while the self-test executes. The controlling software simulates a 3000 ppm CO environment and causes the unit to alarm after approximately one 13 minute has elapsed. When this happens, the status light turns Red and the buzzer will sound two complete alarm cycles (if the BUZZER is enabled). The unit will then return to normal operation. 3. Quickly pressing the TEST/RESET button 5 times within 4 seconds enters the unit into Field Test Mode. Starting from Normal Mode (LED is steady Green) and quickly press the TEST/RESET button 5 times within 4 seconds. When the Field Test Mode is started the buzzer will double beep once and the LED will flash Amber (see Field Test section). 4. If the CM-E1 is in an alarm condition due to the detection of carbon monoxide, one push of the switch will cause the alarm buzzer to mute for five minutes. After the five-minute period, if CO is still present, the status light will again switch to Red, the alarm relay will close and the buzzer will sound (if the BUZZER is enabled). If after the five-minute period, the detected CO level has dropped below 70ppm, the CM-E1 unit will reset. 5. If the CM-E1 is at the end of its ten year life, the TEST/RESET switch can be used to temporarily silence the buzzer function. See section "End-of-life Indicator". ! WARNING Do not cover or obstruct audible alarm opening or visual alarm LED. Doing so may adversely affect product performance and result insickness or death. TROUBLE INDICATOR Internal failure of the CM-E1 will cause an open circuit in the normally closed (NC) Trouble Relay to provide for actuation of the control panel circuits. The status LED will flash Amber and the CM-E1 buzzer will emit a short chirp every 50 seconds (if the BUZZER is enabled). See ERRORS section. The CM-E1 microprocessor continuously monitors various detector parameters. Failure of the CM-E1s internal power supply or a lack of power to the detector will result in the status light remaining OFF (not illuminated). In this case, the most common cause of detector trouble would be a break in the wiring between the control panel and the CM-E1. END-OF-LIFE INDICATOR Ten years after the CM-E1 is installed the end-of-life signal will be activated indicating that the CM-E1 has reached the end of its service life and needs to be replaced. The end-of-life signal will cause an open circuit in the normally closed (NC) Trouble Relay to provide actuation of the signal circuits. The status LED will flash alternate Amber and OFF every 2 seconds and the CM-E1 buzzer will emit a short "chirp" every 50 seconds (if the BUZZER is enabled). The end-of-life buzzer can be silenced for 48 hours by pressing the "TEST/RESET" button. The silencing of the buzzer also resets the Trouble Relay to the Normally Closed (NC) position. The silence function will continue to be available for 29 days after the CM-E1 initiates an end-of-life signal. After this 29 day period the CM-E1 can no longer be silenced and must be replaced. ERRORS The CM-E1 continuously monitors various internal operating parameters. If a problem is found, the unit will switch to Trouble mode. See TROUBLE INDICATOR section. To reset the unit for normal operation, press the TEST/RESET switch, or remove power to the unit, wait a few seconds, then re-apply unit power. If this problem persists, your detector requires repair; contact the alarm panel installer or Macurco Tech Support for advice. If repair is required, return the unit to manufacturer to comply with warranty. 14 MAINTENANCE ! WARNING Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this detector. This detector contains no user serviceable parts, and substitution of components may adversely affect product performance and result in sickness or death. The CM-E1 has a highly linear electrochemical sensor. The CM-E1 has an expiry function associated with the installation date which will cause the unit to indicate end-of-life when the sensor has expired. See section "End-of-life Indicator" All maintenance and repair of products manufactured by Macurco are to be performed at the Macurco Service Center. Macurco does not sanction any third-party repair facilities. TESTING The CM-E1 should be tested monthly by pushing the TEST/RESET switch; see TEST/RESET switch section. This is the recommended way to test the unit or units after installation. Though there is no field calibration procedure for this unit, there is a field test procedure. The CM-E1 should be tested annually by using the CME1-FTG aerosol carbon monoxide field test gas; see FIELD TEST section. All CM-E1 units are factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation. The unit also has the ability to automatically self test and does so every 2 1/2 minute cycle. If the unit detects an improper voltage or inoperable component it will default into Trouble mode. See TROUBLE INDICATOR section. Check that the CM-E1 status indicator light is illuminated, (Green) continuously. If not, do not proceed with the tests. FIELD TEST The Macurco CME1-FTG is an aerosol carbon monoxide field test gas that can be used with the CM-E1 carbon monoxide detectors. This field test gas allows users and installers to do a quick functionality test of the CO sensor. The CME1-FTG is an 11liter (L), 500ppm CO/Air mixture in an aerosol can. The flow rate of the CME1-FTG is 10 liters per minute (LPM) so there is enough gas to test 20-30 sensors. 1. To enter in Field Test Mode, start from Normal Mode (LED is steady Green) and quickly press the TEST/RESET button 5 times within 4 seconds. When the Field Test Mode is started the buzzer will double beep once and the LED will flash Amber NOTE: If the button press does not follow the pattern required to enter Field Test Mode, the CM-E1 will simply enter the 2 ½ minute Self-Test Mode as if the test button was pressed once for less than 5 seconds. If anytime during Field Test Mode there is a trouble, the LED flashes Red and buzzer double beeps every 15 seconds. 2. With the LED flashing Amber, aim the nozzle of the aerosol can at the buzzer grate area. Direct the gas into the housing by placing the nozzle of the aerosol can into one of the buzzer grate holes and pull the trigger to spray the gas into the housing for 2-3 seconds. NOTE: The detector waits to pass the Field Test for a maximum of 5 minutes. If after 5 minutes Field Test is not passed detector enters in trouble mode when the LED flashes Red and buzzer double beeps every 15 seconds. If Field Test is passed the LED displays flashing Green and buzzer double beeps every 15 seconds indicating that the test was successful. 15 3. Wait for a few seconds. The LED should begin to flash Green rapidly and the buzzer should double beep every 15 seconds indicating a pass of the field test. 4. Press the button once to return to Normal Mode. NOTE: If the LED does not change within 10 seconds indicating a pass of the field test, there are four possibilities: a. The gas cylinder is empty, replace the gas cylinder. b. The gas was not directed into the housing. Direct the gas into the housing by placing the nozzle of the aerosol can into one of the buzzer grate holes and pull the trigger to spray the gas into the housing for 2-3 seconds. c. The gas is expired or degraded. Replace the gas cylinder. d. Detector is in need of servicing. Return unit to factory for servicing. 5. After the test is done the detector displays the test result (on the LED and buzzer) for another 10 minutes after which it will reset, returning to NORMAL MODE. Pressing the TEST/RESET button will also return the CM-E1 to NORMAL MODE. ! WARNING CAUTION: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. Accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used. (UL 2034) CLEANING The CM-E1 should be cleaned using the soft brush attachment of your vacuum cleaner. The CM-E1 should be tested after cleaning to ensure the unit is operating normally.
