  • Page 3: Read This First

    B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 3 1. READ THIS FIRST Install the Carbon Monoxide Alarm (CO Alarm) in every room that contains a fuel burning appliance, particularly rooms where people spend a lot of time e.g. bedrooms, kitchens and sitting rooms.
  • Page 4 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 4 What to do when the alarm sounds: (1) Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area. (2) Turn off all fuel appliances where possible and stop using them. (The alarm can be silenced immediately by pushing the test/hush button). (3) Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open.

    B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 5 The CO Alarm will automatically reset Figure 1 - Alarm Installation once the CO has cleared. Pressing the test/hush button resets the CO Alarm GAS ENTRY HOLES immediately (below 300ppm CO). If CO is still present the red light and horn will turn on again after about 4 minutes.
  • Page 6 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 6 Many are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible, odourless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal etc. CO is absorbed by red blood cells in the lungs in preference to oxygen - this results in rapid damage to the heart and brain from oxygen starvation.
  • Page 7 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 7 A high level of CO for a short period (e.g. 350 ppm CO for 30 minutes) will cause the same symptoms, a slight headache, as a lower level for a longer time (e.g. 150 ppm for 90 minutes). Table A shows how exposure to different concentrations of CO generally affects people.
  • Page 8 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 8 2.3 What happens when your CO Alarm detects Carbon Monoxide ? When the Alarm detects potentally dangerous levels of CO, it flashes the red alarm light and then sounds a loud alarm if the CO persists. The digital display indicates the CO level in parts per million, ppm CO. Table B below shows how the CO Alarm reacts to different levels of CO gas and exposure time.
  • Page 9 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 9 Pre-Alarm: The digital display shows Carbon Monoxide levels above 30 parts per million (30ppm CO). This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives an indication straight away. When the alarm detects over 50ppm CO the red light flashes every 2 seconds. Note the Pre-Alarm signal may be triggered by CO coming for example, from cooking with gas, from car engines or from nearby barbecues.

WHERE TO PLACE CO ALARMS 3.1 Ideally a Carbon Monoxide Alarm should be installed in: - Every room containing a fuel burning appliance, and - Remote rooms where occupants spend a considerable amount of time - Every bedroom However if the number of Carbon Monoxide Alarms is limited the following points should be considered when deciding where best to fit the alarm(s)
  • Page 11 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 11 In the immediate vicinity of a cooking appliance (keep it at least 1 metre horizontally from it). Outside the building. In an enclosed space (e.g. in or below a cupboard). In a damp or humid area. Directly above a sink or cooker.

Low Battery Indicator If the unit beeps every 45 seconds and CP is on the display, then the battery is depleted. Remove from the mounting plate (see figures 5&6).
  • Page 19 B16204-R0-206D-UC-ENG 20/6/08 3:49 PM Page 19 Testing with Carbon Monoxide The unit can be tested with CO by using one of the kits that comes with CO either in a glass phial or aerosol can. Follow the instructions on the kit. It is best if possible to inject the CO gas into the gas entry holes, see Figure 1.
  • Page 20 (1) Remove the alarm from the mounting plate as described previously. (2) Pull out the sensor module from the rear (see figure 6). (3) Replace with a new sensor module (Model No. Ei261MEN - Contact Ei Electronics, for your nearest module supplier).

    (3) The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away. Interconnecting CO Alarms greatly improves the probability that they will be heard (the Ei206D cannot be interconnected - purchase suitable models if this feature is required). The...
