CO SENSOR
The CO Sensor monitors for the accumulation of
poisonous carbon monoxide gas around the generator
when the engine is running. If increasing 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 rising 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.
Note: 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, notifies the user with a RED indicator light, and
directs the user to read the Action Label for steps to take.
The CO Sensor DOES NOT replace carbon monoxide
alarms. Install battery-powered carbon monoxide alarm(s)
in your home.
Automatic shutoff accompanied with a flashing RED
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.

Description
Carbon monoxide accumulated around
the generator. After shut-off, the RED
indicator light in the CO Sensor area
of the control panel will flash to provide
notification that the generator was shut-
off due to an accumulating CO hazard.
The RED light will flash for at least five
minutes after a CO shut-off.

Move the generator to an open, outdoor
area far away from occupied spaces
with
exhaust
relocated to a safe area, 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
will flash to provide notification that the a
YELLOW
fault has occurred. The YELLOW light
will flash for at least five minutes after a
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.
