HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS
GENERAL INFORMATION

occur any time during the year, and this larm can only alert you if

about every second.
and remembers the levels of CO it has been exposed to over time.
The larm sounds when it has been exposed to a "critical" level of
CO (measured in parts per million or "ppm") within a specified time
(measured in minutes). This CO larm features a permanently installed
sensor, an indicator light, and an 85 dB alarm horn. It also has a Silence
Feature to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.
MALFUNCTION WARNING
