CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
GENERAL CARBON MONOXIDE INFORMATION
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless and tasteless gas which inhibits the blood's capacity to carry
oxygen, and can be fatal when inhaled. CO is released by burning fuels: gas, oil, wood, charcoal, coke,
coal and petrol. Dangers arise when fuel-burning appliances malfunction, are improperly installed, or
not ventilated correctly.
Possible sources of CO include:
•
Furnaces
•
Gas range/stoves
•
Water heaters
•
Portable fuel burning heaters
•
Fireplaces
•
Wood-burning stoves
•
Blocked chimneys or flues
Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by wind direction and/or
velocity.
TESTING YOUR CO ALARM
Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand at arm's length away from the unit when
testing. After installation, the unit's electronics can be tested by pressing the "Test" button and holding
for 5 seconds. A series of beeps will indicate that the unit is operational and the red LED will flash.
It is recommended that the unit is tested weekly. If at any time it does not perform as described, firstly
verify that the power is correctly connected and that the battery does not need replacing, then clean
any dust and other built-up material off the unit. If it still does not operate correctly, contact the supplier
of the alarm.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE OF DETECTOR
To keep your CO detector in good working order, please follow these simple steps:
•
verify the unit's alarm and LED light operation by pushing the test button once a week
•
remove dust and dirt from the detector cover once a month using a dry cloth
END OF SENSOR LIFE
The unit must be replaced if there is a fault with the sensor or when the sensor "end of life" warning is
given (the yellow LED will flash).
