Put it in a large ziplock bag with small saucer. Light a small pc of paper, blow it out, put in bag on saucer. Close bag. Watch and wait. PPM should increase fast and alarm should go off, but it could take a while unless the ppms are 300+...

The "Latching alarm" only comes into play if the unit is hooked up to a A/C power source. and after the unit is exposed to alarm levels of smoke or CO2, and then the levels of smoke or CO2 are lowered, there is a red light flashing until the unit is tested, this also is a means of helping to determine the area where the smoke or CO2 comes from if the whole system of detectors are connected together.

Using compressed air, blow out the alarm. Test your battery, it may be low. Dust will accumulate around the sensor. If these suggesting don't work, you may have a faulty detector.

The heater contains an oxygen sensor that will measures the amount of oxygen in the air. Try ventilating the space by opening windows and/or doors to get a fresh air supply in the space. Tr-light the heater and leave the doors and windows open and see if the heater shuts down again. If so, you've probably a faulty sensor. If the heater keeps going while in a fresh air environment, you need to read the instructions and provide a source of fresh air. Our heater is in a garage and I keep two windows cracked open, one on each side of the space. No problems. We added a smoke/carbon monoxide detector to also monitor the air.

You did it correctly. Make sure the top button is all the way forward, pressed against the front of the indentation, at which point you will hear gas coming out. Sometimes I have to fiddle with mine a bit, but I've always gotten it to light.

just a simple carbon warning system that works .I had a problem at work and my truck was putting me to sleep on the road ,I was nerves t that the exhaust was coming in my cab The garage was not caring to my warnings I bought this sensor to detect leaking gas ( carbon monoxide) .it worked my truck got repaired look at what you have to to stay alive buy this its worth the price too and you will sleep better knowing your safe but keep changing the batteries just in case notice the check buzzer

The pamphlet inside the package recommends putting the detector in certain areas of the house that may become susceptible early-on such as stairs, near kitchen, etc. The height on wall is not specified. I have mine plugged in close to the floor. I am assuming it is calibrated to pickup on low CO levels before it becomes dangerous. You might have to call in and talk to their customer service people about the specifics.

It does not continuously display the co levels, only if detected. It will display the gas level if gas is present. I am very satisfied with this plug in detector. I bought two, one for each floor.

Just reports humidity. My humidity sensor is so-so and doesn't work after an extended period of time (24hrs). So basically I leave it off

Detects poisoning gases, fire alarm sensor. Had it since 7/13 and have not replaced the battery. Hope this was useful?

Does it do anything at all? Did you slide down the safety? Do you hear the click or hear gas coming out when you hold the button down? Are you positive you filled it properly?If its full and the button depresses (safety disengaged) but no gas comes out when you hold the button, you probably have a gas flow problem.If the button depresses and you don't hear the click of the spark... you probably have an issue with the ignition.Just be sure you're using it right before you decide its actually a bad unit.If its full and sparks properly... maybe also check the flow adjustment on the side to make sure its turned up enough.

My check engine light went off on it's own after about 50 miles. If you need to turn it off sooner, you can try disconnecting your battery for 5 minutes. This should reset the computer and make the check engine light stay off long enough for you to get through emissions testing.

It has a test / silence button. I would think that you would just need to press the button if you accidentally cause it to go off.

I just wanted to add - I use mine in a 24 x 24 shop without any ventilation. I use a carbon monoxide detector on the wall, and it has never registered a reading, even after running this unit for four or five hours. By way of comparison, if I start up my wife's van in the same garage, the same carbon monoxide will register a reading in about thirty seconds and the alarm will go off in a matter of a couple minutes.

The instruction booklet that came with my First Alert carbon monoxide alarm (I do not know if I bought a "model C0615" -- my alarm has NO identifying alpha-numeric) informs me that there IS an extension cord already on the back of the alarm; it also tells how to access it. I unplugged my alarm from the outlet, turned it back-side-up and true enough the 2 pronged plug you use to plug it into the electrical outlet is part attached to a lightweight extension cord that I would estimate to be about 4 or 5 feet long. The instruction booklet says that is for use by those who want to remain standing and look at the alarm "face-to-face." Hope this helps, Fat.

Try to bleed out the system. Hold down the gas button for like 15 seconds then hit the ignite button. Fire should light. If no fire then theres no gas. If the fire starts hold the gas down for another 10 seconds then let go. It should stay on. If that doesn't work then the sensor in it might have died. Cant remember the name of the sensor but that happened to me before. When it died i just bought a new one.

this only detects smoke/steam; it does not detect carbon monoxide. It would be useful anywhere that you can hear it.
