1. Read This First • Congratulations on becoming the owner of an Elk Carbon Monoxide Alarm. This product is designed to help protect you and your household from the dangerous effects of Carbon Monoxide- the silent killer. • The Carbon Monoxide Alarm (CO Alarm) is powered up by carefully rotating it onto the mounting plate which activates the on/off switch.
Page 5 2. Carbon Monoxide – The Silent Killer 2.1 What is Carbon Monoxide? Many people are killed each year, and many more suffer ill health from Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an invisible, odorless, 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.
Page 6 2.3 Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Table A Concentration of CO in Air Inhalation Time (approx) and Symptoms Developed The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure in any 8 hour period according to OSHA *. Slight headache after 1.5 hours. Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness, nausea after 2-3 hours.
Page 7 Table B: CO Alarm Response Red Light Horn/Sounder CO Gas Level 0 ppm to < 50 ppm OFF * OFF* On within 60-240 >50 ppm 1 flash every 3 secs. minutes (typ 90 minutes) On within 10-50 minutes >110 ppm 2 flashes every 3 secs.
Page 8 Pre-Alarm (before horn sounds): When the Alarm detects over 50 ppm CO the red light flashes in accordance with Table B. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives an indication straight away. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 50 ppm CO for typically 72 minutes for an alarm sound to be given).

Although the Alarm and its component parts have undergone stringent tests, and are designed to be very reliable, it is possible that parts can fail. Therefore, you should test your CO Alarm weekly.
