Smoke and CO notifications for Ring Alarm.
Ring Smoke/CO Listener is a smart sound sensor for the Ring Alarm. It does not sense smoke or CO directly. Instead, it adds smart features to your UL-listed smoke, CO, or smoke & CO alarm. When your smoke or CO alarm begins to sound, the Listener activates and the Ring Alarm notifies you of the issue. If your system is professionally monitored, our monitoring center is also notified.
Is your smoke or CO alarm ready?
Your new Listener depends on the proper functioning of your smoke or CO alarm. Smoke and CO alarms have finite lifespans and some require regular battery changes. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance guidelines.
Say hello to your Ring Smoke/CO Listener.
Diagram
Set up your Ring Ring Smoke/ CO Listener in the Ring app.
Begin the setup process near your Ring Alarm Base Station.
- To add devices to your Ring Alarm, it must be disarmed. If your Ring Alarm is armed, please disarm it now.
- In the Ring app, tap Set Up a Device and find Ring Smoke & CO Listener in the Security Devices menu.
- To complete the setup process, follow the in-app instructions.
When prompted, scan the QR Code or enter the PIN.
This begins the pairing process. The QR Code and PIN are on the back of your sensor and in the product packaging.
When prompted, open the lid and pull out the clear tab.
This turns the Listener on. Your Alarm Base Station then finds it automatically. As the Listener pairs to your Alarm Base
Station, its LED ring blinks slowly, then quickly. Once it pairs, the LED glows blue for three seconds.
Note
If the Listener does not pair successfully, the LED ring glows red. To try the pairing process again, remove and reinstall the
battery inside the Listener.
Install and test your Ring Smoke/CO Listener.
Install your Listener first. Then, test it.
- During the setup process, the Ring app will prompt you to test your new Smoke/ CO Listener.
- This test depends on the Listener being installed next to your smoke or CO alarm, so it can reliably hear its alarm signals.
- So, be sure to install your Listener before you proceed with the testing step.
Line up the mounting bracket.
Find a place for the bracket within six inches (15.25 cm) of your smoke or CO alarm. You can use the ruler below to make sure.
Position the mounting bracket so that the arrow marked Smoke/CO Alarm This Side points directly at your smoke or CO alarm.
Secure the mounting bracket and mount the Listener.
- Once you’ve decided on a location,
- secure the bracket to your ceiling or wall with the included screws.
- Place the Listener on the bracket posts,
- then slide to lock it in place.
Note When mounting on drywall, pre-drill the holes and insert the included anchors.
Note
- During the setup process, the Ring app prompts you to press the “ Test ” button on your smoke or CO alarm.
- Mount the Listener on its bracket before testing your alarm.
Test your Listener.
Now, it’s time to head back to the Ring app and go through the testing process.
- When prompted, press the test button on your smoke or CO alarm.
- If you’re not sure where it is, check the instructions.
- The Ring app will tell you when your Listener has detected the smoke or CO signal from your alarm.
- If your alarm is a smoke/CO combo, both smoke and CO signals should be detected.
- If your Listener is unable to detect the signal, your Ring Alarm cannot monitor your smoke or CO alarm.
- This may mean your alarm is too old and must be replaced.
