Resumen del manual
We are proud to offer you our unique, patented CO Sensor technology that detects CO in a manner similar to the human body's response. The COSTAR® 9SIR is an ideal and low-cost way of warning you of both the acute and chronic effects of CO poisoning. Please read this owner's manual carefully so you will have a better understanding of the effects of CO poisoning and the COSTAR® 9SIR Alarm, as we work together pursuing a safer, healthier indoor air quality for us all. To your good health and safety, Mark Goldstein, Ph.D. President Quantum Group Inc. 1.0 WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT CO Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas. It is a cumulative poison. Even low levels of CO have been shown to cause brain and other vital organ damage in unborn infants with no effect on the mother. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household: MILD EXPOSURE Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "flu–like" symptoms) MEDIUM EXPOSURE Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate EXTREME EXPOSURE Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure, death Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also, young children and household pets may be the first affected. Your CO alarm is designed to detect the toxic CO fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A CO Alarm is NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire or smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. QGI P/N 099-0057-01 REV 10/26/01 Page 1 of 7 Instruction Manual: COSTAR® 9SIR, Residential CO Alarm WARNING: This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor locations of family living units. It is not designed to measure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards. Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices which provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under 30 ppm. 2.0 WHAT YOU SHOULD DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS WARNING: Activation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), which can kill you. If alarm sounds: 2.1 Operate reset/silence button; 2.2 Call your emergency services (____ - ______) [fire department or 911]; 2.3 Immediately move to fresh air – outdoors or by an open door/window. Then, do a head count to check that all persons are accounted for. Do not reenter the premises nor move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition. 2.4 After following steps 2.1-2.3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 2.1-2.3 and call a qualified technician (____ - ______) to investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturers' instructions or contact the manufacturers directly for more information about CO safety and this equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not and have not been operating in an attached garage or adjacent to the residence. 2.5 IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS The 9SIR has been designed and is warranted to operate for six years. 2.6 Never disconnect the battery to silence an alarm. The alarm will automatically sense when the level of CO in the air falls below the danger level. You should stay outside the residence in fresh air until the alarm is silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The sound produced by the alarm is loud because it is designed to awaken a person in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be harmful to your hearing. NOTE: Manufacturer strongly recommends replacement of alarm six years after date of purchase. Under no circumstances should the alarm be used (7) years after the date of purchase. 3.0 DEVELOPING YOUR OWN CO SAFETY PLAN This CO alarm can quickly alert you to the presence of CO — it cannot prevent toxic CO emissions. Please note that there are hazards against which CO detection may not be effective, such as gas leaks or explosions. The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic CO fumes rests solely on you. Installing CO detectors is just the first step in protecting your family from toxic CO poisoning. We ...
