LIMITED LIFE OF CO SENSOR
This detector is manufactured with a long-life
electrochemical carbon monoxide sensor. Over time the
sensor will lose sensitivity and will need to be replaced.
The life span of the CO sensor is approximately ten years
from the date of manufacture.
Periodically check the detector's replacement date.
Remove the detector head and refer to the 'replace by'
sticker placed on the underneath side of the detector.
The sticker will indicate the date the detector should be
replaced.
Reminder: This detector is also equipped with a feature
that will signal the panel once the CO sensor has passed
the end of its' useful life. If this occurs, it is time to
replace the detector.
What to do if the detector goes into CO alarm:
If the detector goes into CO alarm (4 beeps),
immediately move to a spot where fresh air is available,
preferably outdoors, where the air is safe and call your
security service provider. Tell your provider the detector
alarm status, and that you require professional
assistance in ridding your home of the carbon
monoxide.
This detector is NOT:
A substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning
•
appliances or the sweeping of chimneys.
To be used on an intermittent basis or as a portable
•
alarm for the spillage of combustion products from
fuel-burning appliances or chimneys.
Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which
is released when fuels are burnt. It is invisible, has no
smell and is therefore is impossible to detect with the
human senses. Under normal conditions in a room
where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide
released into the room by appliances should not be
dangerous.
