CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM

Carbon monoxide is a cumulative poison. Longterm exposure to low levels may cause symptoms.

This alarm is time-weighted – the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.

NOTE: The apparatus may respond to brief exhaust gas emissions, for example during the initial start-up of an

appliance. Also, hydrogen acts as an interferent and can arise from some battery charging activities and the curing

of concrete or cement under certain circumstances. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), e.g. alcohols, which may

eventually activate the alarm, can be generated from use of damp-proofing materials or other coatings containing

alkylalkoxysilanes.

2. What is Carbon Monoxide?

This CO alarm is not a substitute for proper

installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning

appliances including appropriate ventilation and

exhaust systems.

Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly

burning appliances or from blocked flues and

chimneys.

If your alarm has sounded and you have ventilated

the room the CO may have dispersed before help

arrives. It is crucial that the source of CO is

determined and appropriate maintenance carried

out.

POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CO

• Wood-burning stoves

• gas boilers and Fires

• gas Hobs

• oil and coal burning appliances

• portable gas Heaters

• blocked Flues and cHimneys

• Fumes From integral garages

• barbecues

• HigH concentrations oF tobacco smoke

To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel burning appliances and their chimneys and vents in

good working condition. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if you suspect CO poisoning, move outside to fresh

air and get emergency help. Your first line of defence is an annual inspection and regular maintenance of your applianc-

es. Contact a licensed contractor or call your local utility company for assistance.

In rented properties your Landlord (or Council/ Housing Association), will have an Emergency Response phone

number, and be liable for the regular maintenance of their combustion appliances (Gas/LPG/Oil/Solid Fuel).

This alarm has not been tested specififically for use in caravans or boats. Only CO alarms certifified to

EN50291-2 are fully approved for this purpose.

Teach children how to respond to the alarm and that they should never play with the unit. This alarm is designed to

detect carbon monoxide from any source of combustion in a residential environment.

NOTE: Please thoroughly read this user guide and save the document for future reference and to pass on to any subse-

quent owner.

IMPORTANT: Additional markings can be found on the back of the unit.

The manufacturer recommends replacing this alarm seven years from the install date on the side of alarm. Product

contains sealed in lithium batteries. Removal can be done only by qualied professionals in recycling points.

Seven (7) years after the unit was installed, this unit will automatically alert you that it is time to replace the unit.

This is called “End of Unit Life” mode. To help track the life of your alarm, write the installation date in the space

provided on the side of the alarm. A label has been provided that has important information on what to do in case of a

CO alarm. Place the label at eye level on a wall near the alarm after it is mounted.

This alarm is not intended to alert hearing impaired individuals.

CO Advice and Information

The table below shows the effects of different levels of CO poisoning on the body.

Important Safety Information

NOTE: If you recognise any of the above symptoms consult your Doctor immediately.

NOTE: Young children, elderly and pets are more susceptible to the dangers of CO.

NOTE: Your alarm is designed to detect CO gas. It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or other gas such as

natural gas.

NOTE: This product is intended for use in ordinary family homes. It is not designed to measure compliance with

occupational safety and the HSE.

NOTE: Individuals with certain specific medical conditions may need an alarm that operates below 30ppm.

If this applies consult your Doctor.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all family members are familiar with the symptoms of CO poisoning and how your

alarm works.

4. Installation Instructions – Recommended Locations

NOTE: CO alarms should be installed following the guidance of relevant local standards, such as EN 50292.

•Whether the alarm is wall-mounted or ceiling mounted, place the alarm a horizontal distance of between 1 metre

and 3 metres from a fuel burning appliance.

•When mounting the alarm on the wall, use an inside wall with the top edge of the alarm at a minimum of 150 mm

below the ceiling, and the bottom edge of the alarm within 300 mm below the ceiling. The bottom of the alarm

should also be at a level greater than the height of any door or window.

•Locate within hearing distance of bedrooms* and place at sleeping height if a heating appliance is in the bedroom.

•CO alarms in rooms with sloped ceilings should be located on the high side of the room.

•Ceiling mounted alarms should be at least 300 mm from any wall.

•If there is a partition in the room, locate the alarm on the same side of the partition as the potential source.

* A CO alarm should be installed in all rooms containing a fuel burning appliance. Additional CO alarms should be

installed in rooms where most awake time is spent, in every sleeping area, and on every level of the home.

Locations to Avoid

•In the garage. Products of combustion are present when you start your motor vehicle.

•Do not install alarms adjacent to, or directly above, heaters or air-conditioning vents.

•In very humid areas (above 90% RH, non-condensing), such as bathrooms and shower rooms. Do not install directly

above a sink, or near dishwashers or washing machines. Moisture or steam can cause nuisance alarms.

•Do not install within 1 m of heating or cooking appliances, measured horizontally.

•In an area where the temperature may fall below 0 ºC or rise above 40 º C such as garages and unfinished attics.

•Do not install alarms in dusty areas. Dust particles may cause nuisance alarm or failure to alarm.

•In insect-infested areas.

•Within 300 mm of a light fitting, as electronic “noise” generated by the electronics may cause nuisance alarms.

•Do not install in an enclosed space (cupboard) or where the ventilation openings in the unit could be impeded by

items such as newspapers, table-cloths, furniture, curtains, etc.

•Do not install next to a door, window, extractor fan, flue, chimney, or any other area where high air flow may occur or

the unit may be directly exposed to weather.

•Do not install in locations that are difficult or dangerous to reach for testing or maintenance.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
