have a CO detector FLASHING an amber light. ran unit threw test and nothing came up and light is back to solid green.
Instructions say nothing about flashing. Would like to give them a call but number is out of order.
model: CM-21A
make : Macurco
it has 3M printed on the cover
They can be a pain. If it's flashing amber, then it's a error. Mostly caused by a voltage problem to the sensor. If your 24v is good and you still have one erroring out, then just replace it.Quote:

thanks for the info...thing is 10 months old. If it does it again i will change it out.
How is the voltage to it? They are very picking with voltage.....and you find alot installed with very long undersized wire.Quote:

So the two reds are directly wired to your transformer, with no other connections to you fan?Quote:

You can check it by activating the CO sensor with a CO kit. We use the kit from Macurco.
