Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm
The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm constantly monitors the air
for the presence of CO. It will alarm when there are high
levels of CO present, and when there are low levels of CO
present over a longer period of time (see Page 20 for alarm
times). When a CO condition matches either of these
situations, the alarm/voice message warning system will
sound, accompanied by the flashing red LED light.
The carbon monoxide sensor uses an electrochemical
technology.
CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
This device is designed to protect individuals from the
acute effects of carbon monoxide exposure. It will not
fully safeguard individuals with specific medical
conditions. If in doubt consult a medical practitioner.
Installation of the device should not be used as a substitute for
proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning
appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust
systems.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using
warning devices which provide audible and visual
signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under
30 ppm.
Never ignore the sound of an alarm!
Determining what type of alarm has sounded is easy
with the Combination Smoke/CO Alarm.
The voice message warning system will inform you of
the type of hazard occurring.
