FAQs

How long does the battery last?

The Firehawk CO7B has a sealed-in, lifetime lithium battery designed to last the life of the alarm, typically 7-10 years.

How do I test the alarm?

Press the Test/Silence button on the alarm to test its functionality. The alarm should sound.

What should I do if the alarm goes off?

Evacuate the premises immediately and call the emergency services. Do not re-enter the building until it has been declared safe.

Can I replace the battery?

No, the battery is sealed and cannot be replaced. The entire unit needs to be replaced at the end of its life.

How often should I test the alarm?

Test the alarm monthly to ensure it's working correctly.

What certifications does the alarm have?

The Firehawk CO7B is certified to BS EN 50291-1 and approved with UKCA, CE, and BSI Kitemark.

How do I silence the low battery warning?

Press the Test/Silence button to mute the low battery warning for up to 10 hours. The alarm needs to be replaced when the end-of-life signal sounds.

Where should I install the alarm?

Install the alarm near sleeping areas and in any room containing a fuel-burning appliance, such as a boiler or gas fire, following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Troubleshooting

Alarm is beeping.

Check the LED indicators. A single beep usually indicates a low battery (though the battery is sealed, an end-of-life alert may sound). Refer to the manual or replace the alarm if needed. If it is a CO alarm, evacuate and call emergency services.

Alarm doesn't sound when tested.

Ensure the Test/Silence button is pressed firmly. If it still doesn't sound, replace the alarm.

Alarm goes off without cause.

Ensure the alarm is not exposed to extreme temperatures or high humidity. If the issue persists, the sensor may be faulty, and you should replace the alarm.
