Edwards Data Sheet 260-CO Carbon Monoxide Detector

Edwards Signaling Catalog u Conventional Initiating Devices Monoxide with SafeTest 260 CO carbon monoxide CO detector is an accurate and means of alerting building occupants of potentially danger levels of CO in the protected area The internal electro chemi sensor communicates with a sophisticated on board micropro that accurately tracks CO levels over time commercial grade detection technology results in quick reliable sensing fast reset time and superior false alarm Its small size allows the 260 CO to blend inconspicu with any decor and its smooth contoured design is compat with both residential and commercial environments by normal indoor temperature variations the 260 CO adjusts for environmental changes and operates under a wide variety of conditions It also monitors its own and compensates for sensitivity drift throughout the of its service life 260 CO features the SafeTest functional test feature which testing with real CO gas SafeTest meets the functional requirement in NFPA 720 2009 2012 editions all CO detectors the 260 CO has a limited service life But most which last only six years the 260 CO advanced features a service life rated at 10 years When it approach this point the 260 CO end of life timer automatically triggers warning that indicates the device must be serviced This warning at the detector as well as at the control panel and at a remote monitoring station integrated temporal 4 sounder provides local signaling capability the 260 CO and it easily interfaces with any intrusion or fire alarm by means of its output relay Its low current draw results in additional demand on the system power supply Features 10 year end of life signal SafeTest feature functional test with spray of real CO gas Advanced electro chemical sensing technology Wiring option activates sounders of all connected detectors any one of them goes into alarm Deep housing with plenty of room for wiring UL 2075 compliant Transmits sensor end of life to the supervising panel and cen station if the system is monitored CO sensitivity conforms to UL 2034 requirements Built in trouble power supervision relay Self diagnostics keep the device operating optimally through its service life 12 or 24VDC operation and 150mA Form C relay Large SEMS terminals ease wiring installation 14 to 22 AWG One touch TEST HUSH button simplifies local operation Integrated 85 dBa temporal 4 sounder for local notification On board LED provides local alarm and trouble indication Inconspicuous footprint and attractively contoured design Adapter plate simplifies replacing 240 COe detectors 1 of 4 D A T A S H E E T S85001 0632 to be used for installation purposes Issue 1 Edwards 260 CO Carbon Monoxide Detector is intended for indoor dwelling unit applications in both residential and occupancies including single multiple family residential hotel rooms dorm rooms and other areas approved the authority having jurisdiction AHJ The 260 CO detector connect to either UL 985 Household Fire Warning or UL 864 Fire control panels It is not intended for use in indus applications such as gasoline refineries or parking garages require different listings 260 CO is a four wire device that uses a Class 2 output from control panel Nonetheless the primary alarm notification de remains the 260 CO internal sounder with the control panel to these purposes The 260 CO is not a substitute for life devices and should be only considered as an integral part of comprehensive safety program a suitable location is critical to the correct operation of detectors Install the 260 CO in accordance with NFPA 720 for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide CO Detection Warning Equipment Place wall mounted detectors at least ft 1.5 m up from the floor For ceiling mounted applications the detector at least 1 ft 0.3 m from any wall hotel rooms and dorm rooms CO detector locations 9 Within 10 ft 3 m of all sleeping areas including areas such 9 In a suitable environment areas with a temperature range 40 to 100 4.4 to 37.8 and with a relative humidity of 10 to 90 noncondensing 9 In residential dwellings locate detectors in every bedroom on each level At a minimum place one detector outside sleeping areas Recommended locations for CO detectors check with your local building codes and Authority Having Jurisdiction specific CO location requirements in your area CO detector locations in commercial occupancies 9 Outside each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity the bedrooms including areas such as hotel rooms and rooms 9 On every occupied level of a dwelling unit including base but excluding attics and crawl spaces appliances 9 Centrally located on every habitable level of the building and every HVAC zone based on an engineering evaluation con potential sources and migration of carbon monoxide 9 On the ceiling in the same room as permanently installed fuel 9 In any area required by local building codes legislation or the having jurisdiction 9 On a firm permanent surface not install the CO detector 8 Within 5 ft 1.5 m of any cooking appliance 8 Within 10 ft 3 m of a fuel burning appliance 8 Near air conditioners heating registers and any other ventilation that may interfere with CO gas entering the detector 8 Where furniture or draperies may obstruct the airflow 8 In a recessed area functional test This test facilitates the use of CO test to verify the correct operation of the detector which is man per NFPA 720 The SafeTest mode is activated by pressing holding the test hush button for 5 10 seconds While in Saf mode directing UL classified CO testing spray at the sensor will result in the activation of the alarm relay and the sounder red LED in a temporal four pattern Pressing and holding the will exit SafeTest mode temporal four sounder alarm The 85 dB temporal sounder provides a distinctive alarm notification that is easy differentiate from smoke alarm notification devices The alarm four times rests five seconds and then repeats the pattern button Use the test hush button to test the alarm and an activated alarm Pushing the test hush button silences integral sounder for five minutes The red alarm light stays on if CO is still present after five minutes the detector once again in the temporal four pattern of sensor life indicator The detector uses both a flashing LED and intermittent sounder chirps to indicate that the de needs replacing To silence the detector push the test hush The detector also begins signaling a trouble when the CO is approaching end of life trouble relay The trouble relay opens to indicate a condition upon lost power CO sensor cell trouble or cell When connected to a listed control panel the trouble can report a trouble condition locally at the panel and option at the central station if the system is monitored Connect the CO detector only to a zone dedicat exclusively for CO detection and that is monitored 24 hours day Do not connect to an initiating circuit with fire or security Failure to properly install test and maintain a CO may cause it to fail potentially resulting in loss of life 2 of 4 D A T A S H E E T S85001 0632 to be used for installation purposes
