Important Information:-

This manual contains important information about
your carbon monoxide alarm. If you are installing a
carbon monoxide alarm for someone else, please
be sure to leave this instruction manual with the
end user. Advanced and superior electrochemical
carbon monoxide sensors are generally most
effective in detecting colourless, odourless, non-
irritating and toxic carbon monoxide gases. These
gases can cause serious harm to the human body.
This apparatus 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, contact a
physician.
Where to install the carbon
monoxide alarm:-
Scottish law states the following:-
"One Carbon Monoxide alarm in every room that
has a carbon burning appliance. For example, gas
cookers, gas boiler, gas fires, wood burning stoves,
open fires and oil burners"
Installing the carbon monoxide
alarm:-
• Ensure that you don't block the air inlet when
installing
• Ensure the alarm is between 1M-3M away from
the carbon burning appliance in the room
• If there is a partition wall, make sure the alarm
is on the same side as the carbon burning
appliance
• If the alarm is positioned on a wall, please
make sure it's at least 1.5M off the ground
• Choose between the Adhesive Pad or Screws
• If using the pad - wipe both the wall and alarm
to ensure they are free from dust
• Remove the backing from one side and stick it
to the bracket. Remove the backing from the
other side and stick it to the wall
• If using screws - check which screws and
wall plugs are most suitable for your chosen
location
• Fix the bracket into the wall using the wall
plugs and screws
• Click the alarm into the bracket
Alarm response for different CO
concentrations:-
• <50 PPM – No Alarm
• 50 – 100 PPM – Alarm after 80 minutes – Red
LED flashes every 2 mins
• 100 – 300 PPM – Alarm after 30 minutes – Red
LED flashes every 2 mins with a beep
• 300+ PPM – Alarms sounds and sets off the
other alarms
Protection against carbon
monoxide poisoning:-
• If there is a suspected carbon monoxide
poisoning, immediately open doors and
windows to help circulate air
• After leaving the site with carbon monoxide
patients should rest and not increase
cardiopulmonary load
• Call 999 immediately in the event of suspected
carbon monoxide poisoning.
Limitations of carbon monoxide
alarms:-
Carbon monoxide alarms play a vital role in
reducing deaths caused by carbon monoxide
poisoning worldwide. However, like any warning
device, carbon monoxide alarms can only work if
they are properly located, installed and maintained.
• Carbon monoxide alarms may not wake all
individuals
• Carbon monoxide alarms cannot detect CO if
the gas doesn't reach the alarm
• Carbon monoxide alarms are not fool proof.
