Failure to properly test and maintain may prevent proper operation and ability to warn you of hazards. |
Weekly Testing
Test the PLACE device weekly.
• Tap the TEST button on the front of the device.
• To begin testing, you will begin to see a rotating teal ring light followed by a solid white ring light, confirming that you have entered the main menu.
• You will see the ring light change colors, showing the different mode options. To self-test, tap when you see the solid red ring light.
• The red ring light will begin to pulse to let you know your request to self-test has been heard. If you wish to continue testing, please wait.
• The red ring light will begin to flash, confirming your request to self-test your device.
• Testing will begin shortly, and the PLACE device will sound an alarm. The alarm should last 10-20 seconds. Please note this will cause a loud sound.
• If the device fails to test properly, replace it immediately! If device is not working properly, it cannot alert you to a hazard. • To avoid hearing damage, stand at least arm’s length from device or wear hearing protection while testing alarm. • Never use open flame or vehicle exhaust to test alarm. |
Maintaining your PLACE
To keep PLACE working properly:
• Keep the device cover clean using a soft cloth. Do not vacuum or use compressed air, water, cleaners, or solvents to clean the alarm.
• Replace the batteries immediately if the low battery warning is heard. The device requires two Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA (L91) batteries, available at many retail stores and online. Use ONLY this battery type.
• Household cleaners, aerosol chemicals, and other contaminants can affect the device sensor. When using any of these materials near the device, make sure the room is well-ventilated.
• If the premise is being fumigated, disconnect the device temporarily from the wire harness and store where it will not be exposed to chemicals or fumes. When fumigation is complete and all traces of fumes clear, reconnect the unit back to the wire harness and push the reset button.
Do not:
• Spray cleaning chemicals or insect sprays directly on or near the device.
• Paint over the device because doing so may cause permanent damage.
• Submerge the device in water. It is not washable so it can cause permanent damage to the sensor.
Replacing Batteries
• Use only battery type specified. Using different battery model will harm device and alarm operation. • Never remove batteries or disconnect power to stop a nuisance heat alarm (caused by cooking gases/heat, etc.). This will disable alarm so it cannot sense heat or carbon monoxide (CO). • Batteries cannot work until you install in correct position, matching + to + and − to −. |
To check the batteries, locate the door on the back of the device. Two Energizer® Ultimate Lithium AA (L91) batteries are required for backup operation, and they must be replaced when indicated by the device.
