CO SENSOR
The carbon monoxide (CO) sensor monitors for the
accumulation of poisonous carbon monoxide gas around
the generator when the engine is running. If unsafe levels
of CO gas are detected, the CO Sensor automatically
shuts down the engine.
The CO Sensor will also detect the accumulation of
carbon monoxide from other fuel burning sources used
in the area of operation. For example, if the exhaust of
fuel burning tools is pointed at a CO Sensor-equipped
generator, a shut-off may be initiated due to unsafe CO
levels. This is not an error. Hazardous carbon monoxide
has been detected. Move and redirect any additional fuel
burning sources to dissipate carbon monoxide away from
personnel and occupied buildings.
Remote start-equipped generators must be restarted
with the START/STOP button on the control panel
after an automatic shut-down occurs.
Generators are intended to be used outdoors, far from
occupied buildings and the exhaust pointed away from
personnel and buildings. If misused and operated in a
location that results in the accumulation of CO, like in
a partially enclosed area, the CO Sensor shuts off the
engine. A RED indicator light will indicate the unit was
shut down due to an unsafe level of CO being detected
around the generator. Before approaching the generator
allow the CO to dissipate from around the generator. The
CO Sensor DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide alarms.
Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s) in your
home.
WARNING
light in the CO Sensor portion of the control panel is an
indication that the generator was improperly located. If
you start to feel sick, dizzy, weak, or carbon monoxide
detectors in your home indicate an alarm, get to fresh
air immediately. Call emergency services. You may have
carbon monoxide poisoning.
ACTION LABEL
CO SENSOR INDICATOR LIGHTS
Unsafe levels of carbon monoxide
accumulated around the generator. After
shut-off, the RED indicator light in the CO
was shut-off due to an accumulating of
unsafe CO levels. The RED light will
RED
shut-off.
Move the generator to an open, outdoor
area far away from occupied spaces with
exhaust pointed away. Once relocated to
a safe area and the red light is off, the
generator can be restarted. Introduce
fresh air and ventilate the area where the
generator had shut down.
A CO sensor system fault occurred.
When a system fault occurs, the
generator is automatically shut down
and the YELLOW indicator light in the
CO auto-shutoff area of the control panel
YELLOW
fault has occurred. The YELLOW light
fault. The generator can be re-started,
but may continue to shutoff. A CO sensor
fault can only be diagnosed and repaired
by an authorized Westinghouse service
center.
