5. Konfiguracja i instalacja

5.1 Wybór lokalizacji

Proper placement of your CO detector is crucial for effective detection. Carbon monoxide is slightly lighter than air and mixes readily with it. For optimal protection, install detectors:

• On every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas.
• Within 1 to 3 meters (3 to 10 feet) of fuel-burning appliances.
• On a wall, at least 1.5 meters (5 feet) from the floor, or on the ceiling.
• Avoid placing the detector in direct sunlight, in areas with high humidity, near ventilation openings, or behind curtains/furniture.

6.1 Zrozumienie wyświetlacza i wskaźników

Obraz: szczegółowy view of the detector's front panel, highlighting the LED indicators for Power, Fault, and Alarm, along with the LCD screen and its associated status messages.

The Smartwares RM370/2 features an LCD display and three LED indicators:

• ZASILANIE (zielona dioda LED): Flashes periodically to indicate the detector is powered on and functioning correctly.
• FAULT (Yellow LED): Illuminates or flashes to indicate a fault with the sensor or low battery. The LCD may show "Err" for a fault.
• ALARM (czerwona dioda LED): Flashes rapidly accompanied by an audible alarm when carbon monoxide is detected at dangerous levels. The LCD may show "Hco" (High CO) during an alarm.
• Wyświetlacz LCD: Shows current CO concentration in parts per million (PPM) or ambient temperature. It also displays status messages like "Err" (Fault), "Test" (during self-test), or "Hco" (High CO).

6.2 Testowanie detektora

Naciśnij i przytrzymaj TEST/MENU button for a few seconds. The detector will emit a series of loud beeps, and the red ALARM LED will flash. The LCD display will show "Test". This confirms that the alarm and electronic circuitry are working. Test the detector weekly.

6.3 What to do if the Alarm Sounds

Jeśli włączy się alarm CO:

1. Natychmiast ewakuować się: Wyprowadź wszystkich na świeże powietrze lub otwórz okna i drzwi, aby przewietrzyć pomieszczenie.
2. Zadzwoń pod numer alarmowy: Contact your local emergency services or fire department.
3. Nie wchodź ponownie: Do not re-enter the premises until it has been aired out and deemed safe by a qualified professional.
4. Identify the Source: Have a qualified technician inspect and repair any fuel-burning equipment that may be the source of CO.

7. Konserwacja

7.1 Wymiana baterii

The detector is equipped with a 1-year replaceable battery. When the battery is low, the yellow FAULT LED will flash, and the detector will chirp periodically. Replace all three batteries with new Lithium metal batteries immediately. Refer to Section 5.2 for battery installation instructions.

7.2 Czyszczenie detektora

Dust and debris can affect the detector's performance. Clean the detector regularly (at least once a month) by gently vacuuming the vents with a soft brush attachment or wiping the exterior with a damp ściereczka. Nie należy używać środków czyszczących ani rozpuszczalników.

7.3 Ostrzeżenie o końcu okresu użytkowania

The CO sensor has a lifespan of 7 years. After 7 years, the detector will indicate its end-of-life with a specific warning (e.g., a series of chirps or a message on the display). When this occurs, the entire unit must be replaced. Do not attempt to repair or replace the sensor.
