Page 5: Carbon Monoxide And How It Can Affect You And Your Family
Carbon Monoxide and How It Can Affect You and Your Family Carbon monoxide is a dangerous, poisonous gas that kills hundreds of people each year and injures many more. It is often referred to as the silent killer because it has no odour or taste and cannot be seen. Like oxygen, CO enters the body through the lungs during the normal breathing process. - Page 6 Your FireAngel CO detector monitors the level of CO as parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere of your property. 35ppm - The maximum allowable concentration for continuous exposure for healthy adults in any 8 hour period, as recommended by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
- Page 7 WARNING: This FireAngel carbon monoxide detector is not a combustible gas detector, nor a smoke detector. Please install the proper detectors to detect combustible gases, or smoke. This CO detector should not be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning appliances, nor the sweeping of chimneys.
- Page 8 EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY ON THE SOURCES AND SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING AND HOW TO USE YOUR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR: • buy appliances accepted by a recognised testing laboratory • install appliances according to the manufacturer’s instructions • have appliance installations done by professionals (CORGI registered for gas appliances) •...

Page 9: Where To Install Your Detector
Where To Install Your Detector WARNING: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. In which room should the detector be installed? Ideally, an apparatus should be installed in every room containing a fuel burning appliance. Additional apparatus may be installed to ensure that adequate warning is given for occupants in other rooms, by locating apparatus in: •... - Page 10 Where in the room should I place the detector?

Page 15: Operating Features
Operating Features Your FireAngel detector offers many features which set it apart from other CO detectors on the market today. Test/Reset Button Feature This button will: • test your horn, battery and circuitry • silence the loud 85dB (at 1 metre / 3 feet) horn during an alarm (only for alarms due to levels of CO of less than 50ppm) •... - Page 16 Testing the Horn, Battery and Circuitry Test the horn, battery and circuitry by pressing the Test/Reset button briefly to confirm that the detector is operating properly.The horn should sound as soon as the button is pressed, and both the LEDs will flash indicating that the horn is working and the battery is providing power to the unit.This test for the horn, battery and circuitry should performed on a weekly basis.

Page 17: Testing The Sensor
Testing The Sensor NOTE:We suggest the use of an incense stick or cigarette as the inefficient way in which these products burn means the smoke contains a detectable localized amount of Carbon Monoxide. Alternative sources of smoke, for example an extinguished candle or match, will not contain sufficient levels of Carbon Monoxide to obtain a response from the alarm during this test. - Page 18 and may be tested using a known source of CO. Step 3: Light a cigarette or an incense stick using a match or lighter. Extinguish the lighter, or put out the match and place it into a dish of water. Step 4: Turn the alarm on its side so that the vents nearest the Test/Reset button on the side of the alarm are pointing downward (see diagram opposite).
