WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE?
Carbon Monoxide is a colourless, odorless and tasteless poison gas that can be fatal when
inhaled. CO binds to the hemoglobin in the blood and inhibits its capacity to carry oxygen. CO
kills hundreds of people each year and injures many more because it is difficult to detect with the
human senses. In high concentrations, CO can kill in minutes.
SOURCES OF CARBON MONOXIDE?
Inside your home, appliances used for heating and cooking are the most likely source of CO.
Vehicles running in attached garages can also produce dangerous levels of CO. CO can be
produced when burning any fossil fuel, such as gasoline, propane, natural gas, oil and wood. It
can be produced by any fuel-burning appliance that is malfunctioning, improperly installed, or not
ventilated correctly, such as:
• Cars, fires, gas ranges/stoves, gas clothes dryers, water heaters, portable fuel burning space
heaters and generators, fireplaces, wood-burning stoves and certain swimming pool heaters.
• Blocked chimneys or flues, back drafts and changes in air pressure, corroded or disconnected
vent pipes, loose or cracked fire exchangers.
• Vehicles and other combustion engines running in an open or closed garage, attached or near
the home.
• Burning charcoal or fuel in grills and BBQs in an enclosed area.

TESTING WITH CARBON MONOXIDE The unit checks for CO every 4 seconds and as soon as it detects CO it flashes the red light (as per Table A) to confirm that it is detecting CO gas. The unit can be tested with CO by using a CO aerosal test spray can. Follow the instructions on the kit. - Page 10 WHAT TO DO IF ALARM SOUNDS If your ACOMN initiates an alarm signal it is recommended that the following actions are taken in the order given. 1.
