AT YOU SHO

KNOW ABOUT CO

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless,

odorless and tasteless gas. It is a cumulative poison. Even low

levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ

damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother.

The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE

POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the

household:

MILD EXPOSURE

Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as

“flu–like” symptoms)

MEDIUM EXPOSURE

Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate

EXTREME EXPOSURE

Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, death

Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING

indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become

so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the

building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and house-

hold pets may be the first affected.

Your CO alarm is designed to detect the toxic CO gas that result

from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances,

furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust.

A CO Alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas,

fire or smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to

detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion.

CAUTION:This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon

monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present

in other areas.

WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor

locations of family living units. It is not designed to comply with

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commer-

cial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical problems

may consider using warning devices that provide audible and visu-

al signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm.

WARNING: Activation of this device indicates the

presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can KILL

YOU. If alarm sounds:

1) Operate reset/silence button;

2) Call your emergency services (__________________) [fire

department or 911];

3) Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open

door/window. Then, do a head count to check that all persons

are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away

from the open door/window until the emergency services respon-

ders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your

alarm remains in its normal condition.

4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a

24-hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified technician

(_________________) to investigate for sources of CO from fuel

burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper opera-

tion of this equipment. If problems are identified during this

inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any

combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and con-

sult the manufacturers’ instructions or contact the manufactur-

ers directly for more information about CO safety and this equip-

ment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not and have not been

operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence.

5.1 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS The 12-24SIR has been

designed and is warranted to operate for six years.

5.2 The alarm will automatically sense when the level of CO in the

air falls below the danger level. You should stay outside the resi-

dence in fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm

sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The sound produced

by the alarm is loud because it is designed to awaken a person in

an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close dis-

tance may be harmful to your hearing.

SAFETY PLAN

This CO alarm can quickly alert you to the presence of CO but it

cannot prevent toxic CO emissions. Please note that there are haz-

ards against which CO detection may not be effective, such as gas

leaks or explosions. The ultimate responsibility for protection

against toxic CO gas rests solely on you. Installing CO alarms is

just the first step in protecting your family from toxic CO poison-

ing. We also suggest that you create an effective, comprehensive

safety program as outlined below.

6.1 Install CO alarms properly following the instructions in this man-

ual

6.2 Develop a family escape plan and practice it with your entire fam-

ily, especially small children.

– Draw a floor plan of your home/ residence and find two ways to

exit from each room. There should be one way to get out of each

bedroom without opening the door.

– Make sure that all occupants know what the CO alarm signal

means and how they must be prepared to leave the residence by

themselves if necessary.

– Decide on a meeting place a safe distance from your house and

make sure all occupants understand where they should go and wait

if there is a dangerous CO condition.

– Conduct CO safety drills at least every 6 months to make sure

that every one, even small children, know what to do in order to

escape safely.

– Know where to go to call the Fire Department from outside your

residence.

This unit is designed to detect carbon monoxide (CO) entering its

sensing chamber. It does not sense combustible gas (such as natural

gas, propane or butane), heat, smoke or flames.

When properly located, installed, and maintained, this CO alarm is

designed to provide early warning of developing poisonous CO con-

ditions at a reasonable cost. This alarm monitors the air, and when it

senses CO, it activates its built-in alarm. It can provide precious time

for you and your family to escape from your residence before CO can

seriously injure or kill. However, such an early warning is possible

only if the alarm is located, installed, and maintained as specified in

the Owner’s Manual.

8.1 RECOMMENDATIONS

One of the most important considerations in any CO alarm system

is the location of the alarms. Statistics of the National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA) show that most of the fatal CO occurrences hap-

pen at night while people are sleeping. Early warning of CO is best

achieved by the correct installation of CO alarms. Placement of an

alarm in a garage may cause an alarm due to CO from automotive

exhaust.

8.2 RECOMMENDED MOUNTING LOCATIONS

Put a CO alarm inside each bedroom where the occupant closes

the door while sleeping. A closed door can block particulate

smoke, but CO gas is likely to get through.

Figure 1: Recommended CO alarm

placement for single floor residence.

Figure 2: Recommended CO

alarm placement for multi-level

residence.

8.3 This CO alarm must be mounted on the wall or ceiling.

8.4 WALL LOCATION: Locate the top of the alarm 5 to 6 feet from

the

floor.

Figure 3: Recommended CO alarm mounting location is 5 to 6 feet

from floor.

8.5 CEILING LOCATION: Alarm should be mounted as close as pos-

sible to the center of a hallway or room. If this is not possible,

the edge of the alarm should be at least 4 inches from any wall.

8.6 LOCATIONS TO AVOID

Placing units where they will not operate properly causes nuisance

alarms.To avoid nuisance alarms, do not place units:

– Within 5 feet (1.5m) of any cooking appliance or furnace.

If bedroom doors are usually closed at night, alarms should be

placed in each bedroom as well as in the common hallway between

them. CO alarms may not sense CO on a different level of a residence

or building. For example, a second floor alarm may not sense a CO

leak on the first floor or in the basement.

Therefore, alarms should be placed on every level of a residence

or building. If the alarm is located outside of a bedroom, it may not

wake up a sound sleeper, especially if the bedroom door is closed or

only partly open. If the alarm is located on a different level of the res-

idence than the bedrooms, it is even less likely to wake up people

sleeping in the bedroom. Installing CO alarms may qualify you for

lower homeowner’s insurance rates, but CO alarms are not a substi-

tute for insurance. Homeowners and renters should continue to insure

their lives and property.

– Near an open window or door, because the fresh air entering the

opening may delay CO from reaching the alarm.

– In damp or very humid areas or next to bathrooms with showers.

Install detectors at least 10 feet (3 meters) away from bathrooms.

– In very cold or very hot environments or in unheated buildings

or outdoor rooms where the temperature can go below or above

the operating range of the alarm. Temperature limits for proper

operation are 4.4° C to 37.8° C (40° F to 100° F).

– Good ventilation is recommended when household cleaning sup-

plies or similar contaminants are stored or frequently used.

8.7 CONDITIONS WHICH CAN RESULT IN TEMPORARY CO

SITUATIONS:

8.7.1Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances

caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:

i) Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind.

Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods

between cycles).

ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust

fans.

iii) Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances

competing for limited internal air.

iv) Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, fur-

naces, or water heaters.

v) Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can

amplify the above situations.

8.7.2Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices (range,

oven, fireplace, etc.)

8.7.3Temperature inversions, which can trap exhaust gasses near the

ground.

8.7.4Car idling in an open or closed area garage, or near a home.

OWNER’S MANUAL

Model 12-24SIR

9.5.4 The 12-24SIR alarms do not include power supervision.

This may be accomplished by installing a power supervision relay

at the end of the alarm power circuit (see Figure 6 below). There

is no internal backup battery.

9.6 After installing the mounting plate, place the alarm on the mount-

ing plate. Twist the alarm in the direction indicated by the “ON”

arrow on the alarm cover until it locks in place.

9.7 To make your carbon monoxide alarm tamper resistant, a locking

pin has been provided in the bag with the screws and anchors.

Using this pin will deter children and others from removing the

alarm from the mounting plate. To use the pin insert it into the

hole in the side of the alarm after the

alarm has been installed on the mount-

ing plate (see Figure 7). To remove the

alarm, use long nose pliers pull the pin

out of the hole; it is now possible to

remove the alarm from the mounting

plate. Test alarm immediately follow-

ing installation and weekly for proper

operation by pushing the test button

until a short beep is heard (approximately three seconds). Release

the button. The alarm will then test itself for proper operation and

the RED LED will flash 4-6 times. At completion of the self-test,

the alarm will sound 2 alarm patterns. The alarm then resumes

normal operation.

9.8 This box contains two self-adhesive labels. You should write the

telephone numbers of the emergency service provider and a quali-

fied technician in the space provided on the labels. Place one

label next to the alarm, and the other label near a source of fresh

air where you plan to gather after the alarm indicates the presence

of carbon monoxide.
