Page 4: What To Do When The Co Alarm Sounds
B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 4 When the CO Alarm detects abnormal levels of CO (above 50ppm CO) the red light starts to flash immediately and the horn will sound within 90 minutes. At higher levels of CO the alarm will turn on sooner (see table B - page 8). The CO Alarm will automatically reset once the CO has cleared. -

B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 5 (5) Ring your gas or other fuel supplier on their emergency number. Keep the number in a prominent place. (6) Do not re-enter the property until the alarm has stopped. (If the alarm has been silenced by pressing the test/hush button, wait at least 5 minutes so the alarm can check that the CO has cleared). - Page 6 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 6 High levels of CO in a house can be caused by: • Incorrectly or poorly installed fuel-burning appliances. • Blocked or cracked chimneys/flues. • Blocked vents or draught-proofing which makes areas with fuel burning appliances or fireplaces airtight.
- Page 7 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 7 Many cases of reported Carbon Monoxide poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disorientated that they are unable to save themselves by either leaving the building or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected.
- Page 8 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 8 3.3 What happens when your CO Alarm detects Carbon Monoxide ? When the Alarm detects potentally dangerous levels of CO, it flashes the red alarm light immediately and then sounds a loud alarm if the CO persists. Table B below shows how the CO Alarm reacts to different levels of CO gas and exposure time.
- Page 9 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 9 NEVER IGNORE THE ALARM. Pre-Alarm: When the alarm detects over 50ppm CO the red light flashes every 2 seconds. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit gives an indication straight away. (Without this feature the CO level would need to be at 50ppm CO for 90 minutes for an indication to be given).

B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 19 6. TESTING & MONITORING YOUR CO ALARM Button Test It is recommended that you test your CO Alarm after installation (wait 15 seconds after connecting the power) and then once a week to make sure the unit is working. It will also help you and your family to become familiar with the sound of the alarm. - Page 20 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 20 (The batteries in the Ei204EN, 205EN, 205ENA & 205CEN will usually last over 4 years in standby under normal conditions and an undepleted battery can power a unit in alarm for over 100 hours. The batteries in the Ei203EN will usually last over 1 year in standby under normal conditions and an undepleted battery can power a unit in alarm for over 20 hours.

It must also be replaced when the date on the “Replace Unit by” label on the side wall is exceeded. - Page 23 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 23 (3) The CO Alarm may not be heard. The sound output is loud but it may not be heard behind a closed door or if it is too far away. Interconnecting CO Alarms greatly improves the probability that they will be heard.

Note: Concrete setting in a confined space can produce hydrogen which may trigger the alarm. WARNING: This CO Alarm is designed to protect individuals from the acute effects of Carbon Monoxide exposure. - Page 25 B15583-R3-203-204-205 U&C 8/5/04 7:45 AM Page 25 These appliances must “breathe in” air to burn the fuel properly. Know where the air comes from and ensure vents/air bricks etc. remain unobstructed (particularly after building work). The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimney.
