FireAngel Carbon Monoxide Alarm - 1 Year Replaceable Batteries - FA6813

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, produced by the incomplete burning of fossil fuels. It can be deadly if undetected.

You should test your CO alarm weekly by pressing the test button. This confirms the battery, sensor, and alarm are all functioning correctly.

The FireAngel FA6813 comes with 1-year replaceable batteries. These should be replaced annually to ensure continuous protection.

Install CO alarms in rooms containing fuel-burning appliances and in areas where occupants sleep. Ideally, you should have at least one alarm on each level of your home. Ensure it's not too close to appliances or in areas with high humidity.

No, due to its 1-year replaceable batteries, the FireAngel FA6813 does not comply with the new Scottish Fire and CO laws that came into effect in February 2022. These regulations typically require sealed 10-year battery or mains-powered alarms.

If your CO alarm sounds, immediately open windows and doors to ventilate the property. Evacuate everyone from the building and do not re-enter until the alarm has stopped and the area has been deemed safe by emergency services or a qualified technician.

This indicates the presence of carbon monoxide. Immediately ventilate the area by opening doors and windows. Evacuate all occupants from the property. Call emergency services or a qualified technician to investigate the CO source.

This typically indicates a low battery warning. Replace the 1-year replaceable batteries immediately with fresh, high-quality alkaline batteries of the correct type as specified in the user manual.

First, ensure the batteries are correctly installed and are not depleted; replace them if necessary. If new batteries don't resolve the issue, the alarm may be faulty and should be replaced.

Place the alarm in rooms with fuel-burning appliances (e.g., boiler room, kitchen, living room with a fireplace). For maximum protection, also place an alarm in sleeping areas or hallways leading to them. Avoid placing it directly above heat sources, in damp/humid areas, or in direct sunlight.
