FireAngel CO Alarm - FA6813

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas produced when fuels burn incompletely. It is particularly dangerous because it cannot be seen, smelled, or tasted, making it impossible to detect without an alarm.

You should test your FireAngel FA6813 Carbon Monoxide Alarm weekly by pressing the 'test' button. This ensures the alarm's sensor and sounder are functioning correctly.

Install one alarm in rooms containing fuel-burning appliances, and ideally one in or near sleeping areas. For optimal detection, place it at head height or higher, but not directly above appliances where fumes might temporarily accumulate.

If the alarm sounds, immediately open windows and doors for ventilation, evacuate the property, and call the gas emergency service or a qualified technician. Do not re-enter the property until it has been declared safe by a professional.

The replaceable batteries supplied with the FireAngel FA6813 are designed to last for approximately 1 year under normal operating conditions before needing replacement.

No, the FireAngel FA6813 is specifically designed with an electrochemical sensor to detect carbon monoxide (CO) only. It will not detect natural gas, propane, or smoke.

The FireAngel FA6813 has a 10-year product lifespan. After 10 years, the unit will typically indicate an end-of-life warning (e.g., specific chirp patterns or flashing lights as detailed in the manual), signaling that it's time to replace the entire alarm for continued protection.

An intermittent chirp typically indicates that the batteries are low and need to be replaced. Replace all batteries with fresh, recommended ones. If the chirping continues after battery replacement, the unit may be signaling its end-of-life or a fault; refer to the user manual for specific chirp patterns.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas. If the alarm sounds, assume it is a real emergency. Immediately open windows and doors for ventilation, evacuate the property, and call the gas emergency service or a qualified technician. Do not re-enter until the area has been declared safe by a professional.

First, ensure that the batteries are correctly installed and are not depleted. Try replacing them with fresh batteries. If the alarm still does not sound after pressing the test button with new batteries, the unit may be faulty and needs to be replaced. Do not rely on a faulty alarm for protection.

While CO alarms are designed to be accurate, extreme humidity, cleaning products, or strong fumes near the unit can sometimes trigger a false alarm. Ensure the alarm is not placed too close to cooking appliances, bathrooms, or sources of strong chemicals. If false alarms persist, consider repositioning the unit according to placement guidelines.
