Indicator lights
The Green (power) Light – When the alarm is powered by
the mains supply the green light will remain on all the time.
If your mains power has failed and your alarm has a standby
battery (MRLi, MBXi) then the green light will blink every
minute.
The Red (Alarm) Light – This light will be on if the alarm
is detecting carbon monoxide. It will be accompanied by a
repeating series of four beeps followed by a 5 second pause.
The Yellow (fault) Light – In low battery mode the yellow
light will flash with a short beep once every 60 seconds. If a
circuitry or sensor fault occurs, the yellow light will stay
permanently on and accompanied by 2 short beeps every 60
seconds. Call Customer Services on +44 (0) 1452 887570
if this should happen.
NOTE: On interconnected alarm system with more than one
alarm, only the originating alarm will show the red light. All
the others will just sound the alarm.
If harmful levels of carbon monoxide are detected, your
alarm will emit a series of four beeps followed by a short
pause; this will be accompanied by a flashing red light. This
pattern will be repeated until the alarm is successfully reset.
If the alarm is emitting a different pattern of beeps see
section A above.
If the alarm sounds, respond as follows:
1. If anyone is experiencing the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning–headache, dizziness, nausea or other ‘flu-
like’ symptoms:–
2. Open the doors and windows to ventilate.
3. Turn off any fuel-burning appliances where possible and
stop using them.
4. Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows
open.
5. Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency
number. Record those numbers here:-
6. Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped.
7. Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the
effects of carbon monoxide poisoning (headache,
nausea), and advise that carbon monoxide poisoning is
suspected.
8. Do not use the fuel-burning appliances again until they
have been checked by an expert. In the case of gas
appliances this must be a Capita/Gas Safe registered
installer.
9. If no symptoms exist, operate the Test/Reset button and
immediately ventilate the home by opening the windows
and doors.
10. The alarm can be silenced by pressing the Test/Reset
button.
11. If you have interconnected CO alarms in the system, you
have to reset the initiating alarm which can be identified
by the red alarm light being 'on'.
What to do after resetting the alarm
A full continuous alarm within six minutes after reset
confirms ongoing presence of harmful levels of carbon
monoxide. If this occurs follow instructions 2 to 8 as per
above.
What to do after a carbon monoxide problem has
been corrected?
After a carbon monoxide problem has been corrected reset
your alarm by pushing the Test/Reset button as per the
following instructions.
How to reset the alarm
The alarm will reset once the carbon monoxide has
dispersed. Should you wish to attempt to do a manual reset
press the test/reset button. The unit will re-alarm if the levels
of carbon monoxide are still hazardous. To reset after an
alarm, press the Test/Reset.
C. What are the possible symptoms of
carbon monoxide poisoning?
Carbon monoxide (CO) is odourless, colourless, tasteless
and very toxic. When inhaled, it produces an effect known as
chemical asphyxiation.
Injury is due to the combining of CO with the available
haemoglobin in the blood, which lowers the oxygen-carrying
capacity of the blood. In the presence of carbon monoxide,
the body is quickly affected by oxygen starvation.
The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide
poisoning and should be discussed with all members of the
household so that they know what to look for:
Extreme Exposure (A-C) below. Unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, death.
Medium Exposure (D-G below) Severe throbbing headache,
drowsiness, confusion, vomiting, fast heart rate
Mild Exposure (H-J below) Slight headache, nausea, fatigue
(often described as ‘flu-like’ symptoms)
A - 50% COHb (Permanent Brain Damage – Death)
B - 45% COHb (Coma and Permanent Brain Damage)
C - 40% COHb (Collapse)
D - 35% COHb (Vomiting)
E - 30% COHb (Drowsy)
F - 25% COHb (Headache and Nausea)
G - 20% COHb (Headache)
H -15% COHb (Slight Headache)
I - 10% COHb (None)
J - 5% COHb (None)
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
indicate that while the victims are aware they are not well,
they become so disorientated they are unable to exit the
building or call for assistance. Young children and
household pets may be the first affected. Exposure during
sleep is particularly dangerous because the victim usually
does not awaken. For most people, mild symptoms
generally will be felt after several hours of exposure to 100
ppm of carbon monoxide. Higher levels will lead to more
severe symptoms or death.
D. What is carbon monoxide and why
should you be concerned?
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous, poisonous gas. It is often
referred to as the Silent Killer because it has no odour or
taste and it can’t be seen. The presence of carbon monoxide
inhibits the blood’s capacity to transport oxygen throughout
the body, which can eventually lead to brain damage. In any
enclosed space (home, office, recreational vehicle or boat)
even a small accumulation of carbon monoxide can be
dangerous.
E. What are the potential sources of
carbon monoxide?
Although many products of combustion can cause
discomfort and adverse health effects, it is carbon monoxide
(CO) that presents the greatest threat to life. CO is produced
by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels such as natural
gas, propane, heating oil, paraffin, coal, charcoal, petrol or
wood. The incomplete combustion of fossil fuel can occur in
any device that depends on burning for energy or heat such
as gas fires, central heating boilers, room heaters, water
heaters, cookers or grills and in any petrol-powered vehicle
or engine (e.g. generator set or lawnmower). Tobacco smoke
also adds CO to the air you breathe.
When properly installed and maintained, your natural gas
boiler and hot water heater do not pollute your air space with
carbon monoxide. Natural gas is known as a ‘clean burning’
fuel because under correct operating conditions the
combustion products are water vapour and carbon dioxide,
which are not toxic. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is also present in
the air we exhale and is necessary for plant life). The
products of combustion are vented from boilers and water
heaters to the outside by means of a flue, duct or chimney.
Correct operation of fuel-burning equipment requires two
key conditions. There must be:
• An adequate supply of air for complete combustion.
• Proper venting of the products of combustion from the
boiler through the chimney, vent or duct to the outside.
Typical Carbon Monoxide Problems
1. Equipment problems, due to defects, poor maintenance,
damaged or cracked heat exchangers
2. Collapsed or blocked chimneys or flues, dislodged,
disconnected or damaged vents
3. Downdraught in chimneys or flues; this can also be
caused by very long or circuitous flue runs, improper
location of flue outlets or wind conditions
4. Improper installation or operation of equipment, chimneys
or vents
5. Short stays in rented accommodation (e.g. flats, holiday
cottages etc)
6. Air tightness of house envelope resulting in a lack of air
for the combustion process
7. Inadequate exhaust of space heaters or fuel-burning
appliances
8. Vent fans/chimneys competing for air supply

home/office:
F. How can you maintain your alarm?
An alarm is useful only if it works. The following illustration
explains proper maintenance.

J. Tips for the Homeowner
Energy Conservation and Indoor Air Quality
Two steps that homeowners take to conserve energy may
adversely affect indoor air quality. Since air leakage can
account for as much as 40% of heat loss, houses are being
made more airtight. Reduced air leakage will contribute to
higher concentrations of air contaminants from indoor
sources and can cause draught reversal in the central
heating boiler or fireplace chimney when the demand for air
by fireplaces, central heating boilers and exhaust fans
exceed the air supplied by leakage area and supply ducts.
Converting from oil to gas, without taking steps to prevent
chimney deterioration, will increase the risk of chimney
blockage, draught failure and the associated release of
combustion products into the house. You should always use
properly qualified Capita/Gas Safe registered gas installers.
Dirt and Blockage
Never insulate or try to seal up a draught hood, wind cap or
exhaust vent on any gas appliance (central heating boiler,
hot water heater, cooker, dryer or space heater). Keep area
around appliances clean. Don’t store anything that could
restrict air circulation close to equipment. If you have a gas
water heater, make sure that combustion air openings at the
bottom of the tank and the opening below the draft diverter
(on top of the tank next to the flue duct) remain unblocked. If
you have a gas dryer, the exhaust duct must be vented to the
outside and have a hood at the end. Check that the exhaust
system is not blocked by lint or debris and that the flapper
in the hood moves freely.
For all fuel-burning equipment, make sure that vent hoods
and pipes are not blocked by insulation, leaves or bird
nests. If you have pets, make sure that there is no build up
of fur or hair around gas burners or aeration holes.
Using other equipment that consumes or
exhausts household air
If you use exhaust fans, a fireplace or other fuel burning
heaters or stoves:
Run exhaust fans for just a minute or two. Prolonged use
could remove too much air, and it wastes heat.
If your appliance has a conventional flue, beware of running
extraction fans when the gas appliance is on.
When your fireplace, coal or wood stove is operating, open
a window and close off warm air registers in the room or
install a fresh air duct directly to the fireplace or stove so
that it won’t steal air from your central heating boiler .
Confining or enclosing gas-fired equipment
If you have partitioned off your central heating boiler and
water heater, you may need additional ventilation.
Danger Signs
Stuffy, stale or smelly air, back draughts and soot from a
fireplace or boiler chimney usually means your home needs
more air for proper combustion and healthy living.
For gas-fired equipment, mostly yellow (rather than clear
blue) burner flames, a pilot light that keeps going out, or a
smell of gas indicate trouble. Turn off the equipment and
contact the gas emergency service, number in the telephone
directory, under ‘Gas
’
.
K. Additional Safety Tips
BRK Dicon/First Alert CO alarms are manufactured to the
highest standards to ensure faultless operation and long life.
The manufacturers do, however, recommend that no CO
alarm should be used for more than twelve years, in order to
minimise the chance of a fault occurring. This device
requires no special disposal procedures and may be
disposed of in household refuse. Have your fuel-burning
equipment checked periodically for safety and efficiency by
a qualified service engineer. If you are adding a wood or
coal burning stove to a home, make sure that the stove is
properly installed and vented.
Check with the Building Inspectors Department of your local
council and always use a qualified (Capita/Gas safe
registered) gas installer.
If you have already installed a wood or coal stove without
building regulation approval, consult your local Building
Control Officer. Some ‘do-it-yourselfers’ have unknowingly
created dangerous conditions.
Do not expose yourself to carbon monoxide through
carelessness. Never operate a petrol engine in a confined or
enclosed space such as a garage or tool shed. Never use a
paraffin stove or charcoal grill in a confined space such as a
closed garage or caravan. On brick chimneys inspect and
clean-out regularly to ensure that the chimney is free and
clear of debris.
Regardless of the fuel your boiler, fireplace or stove uses, your
chimney should be inspected from time to time by a
competent person. Any ‘Efficiency’ devices must always be
installed by a Capita/Gas Safe registered installer. When using
paints, household cleaning supplies or similar materials, be
sure that you’re using them in a well-ventilated area. Following
sensible maintenance and safety procedures in the home will
give you fuel savings without endangering your health.
L. Where should you install the alarm?
Which room to put the alarm?
Ideally, you should have an alarm in or near every room that
has a fuel-burning appliance. However, if you have more
than one appliance, but only one alarm, you should take the
following into consideration when deciding where best to
put the alarm.
• If there is a fuel-burning appliance in the room where you
sleep, you should put the alarm in that room.
• If there is a fuel-burning appliance in the room that you
use a lot. e.g. a sitting room, you should put it in that
room.
• If you live in a bed-sit put the alarm as far away from the
cooking appliances as possible, but near to the place
where you sleep.
• If the fuel-burning appliance is in a room not normally
used (e.g. a boiler room) put the alarm just outside the
room so that you will be able to hear the alarm more
easily.
If the alarm is in the same room as the appliance:-
It should be mounted on or close to the ceiling at a height
greater than that of any door or window. It should be at least
300mm from any wall, light fitting or any other obstruction.
If mounted on a wall it should be at least 150mm from the
ceiling. If mounted in a room with a sloped or gabled ceiling
it should be at least I metre lower than the highest point of
the room as long as that is above doors and windows.
If the alarm is in a room that is remote from the appliance,
then the alarm should be in the breathing zone of the
occupants.
• An alarm should be at least 1.8 metres (6 feet) from the
fuel-burning appliance.
Do not put a CO alarm:
• Outside the building.
• In close proximity to a vehicle exhaust pipe; this will
damage the alarm.
• In or below a cupboard.
• In a damp or humid area.
• Near paint thinners, adhesives, polishes, aerosols, or
household cleaning products. Other substances may also
affect the reliability of the unit.
• Directly above a sink or cooker.
• Next to a door window or extractor fan or anywhere that it
would be affected by draughts.
• In exhaust streams from gas engines, vents, flues or
chimneys.
• Where it would be obstructed by curtains or furniture.
• In an area where the temperature could drop below -10ºC
or rise to above 40ºC.
• Where humidity is less than 30% R.H. or more than 90%
R.H.
• Where dirt or dust could block the sensor and stop it
working.
• Where it could be easily knocked or damaged, or where it
could be accidentally turned off or removed.
M. How should you install the alarm?
CO850MBXi
When inserting the battery for the first time remove the
Battery Access Door (see section F) by sliding towards the
side of the alarm. Remove the battery access door screw
from the body of the alarm shown in section F. Remove the
battery from the compartment and connect it to the flying
lead found in the compartment. ONLY USE APPROVED
BATTERIES, either Duracell MN1604, MX1604, GP 1604A
or Energiser 522. Carefully insert the battery back into its
compartment, refit the access door and secure with the
screw removed above. When changing the battery in future
remove the battery access door screw before opening the
door. Test the alarm in accordance with section G.
