READ THIS FIRST WARNING The Alarm should be permanently wired to the mains a qualified electrician in accordance with IEE wiring regulations (BS7671). Install the Carbon Monoxide Alarm (CO Alarm) in every room that contains a fuel burning appliance, particularly rooms where people spend a lot of g. bedrooms, kitchens and sitting rooms. In rooms with an appliance install (perferably) on the ceiling (300mm from walls) and between 1m to 3m horizontally from appliance. In rooms remote from the appliance install at where the light indicators can be seen. Regularly check that the green power light is on, so that standby rechargeable cells will fully charge. Important: The CO Alarm will not work if the mains supply is off and the rechargeable cells are depleted. Test the unit weekly by pressing the test/hush button-the horn will sound. Replace sensor module after 5 years operation (see page 20). 1 B15404-R0-31/5/07 2:01 PM Page 4 What to do when (1) Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area. (2) Turn off all fuel appliances where possible and stop them. (The alarm can be silenced immediately by pushing the test/hush button). (3) Evacuate the property leaving the doors and windows open. (4) Get medical help immediately for anyone suffering the effects of Carbon Monoxide poisoning (headache, nausea), and advise that Carbon Monoxide poisoning is suspected. (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). (7) Do not use the fuel appliances again until they have been checked by an expert. In the case of gas appliances this must be a CORGI registered installer. ? ? When the CO Alarm detects abnormal levels of CO (above 50ppm CO) the red light starts to flash and the horn will sound within 90 minutes. At higher levels of CO the alarm will turn on sooner (see table B - page 6). 2 B15404-R0-31/5/07 2:01 PM Page 5 The CO Alarm will automatically ? once the CO has cleared. Pressing the test/hush button resets the CO Alarm immediately (below 300ppm CO). If CO is still present the red light and will turn on again after about 4 minutes. The CO Alarm is no substitute for keep ? ing chimneys and flues clear and in good condition, and all of your appliances serviced regularly according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not fit alarm until all building work is completed to avoid contamination. 2. CARBON MONOXIDE - THE SILENT KILLER! 2.1 What is Carbon Monoxide ?

CO is an invisible, odourless, tasteless and extremely toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal CO is absorbed by red blood cells in the lungs in to oxygen - this results in rapid damage to the heart and brain from oxygen starvation. High levels of CO in a house can be caused • 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. • Engines of cars, lawnmowers etc. left running in confined spaces. • Portable paraffin or gas heaters in badly ventilated rooms. 2.2 Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Most people know that high levels of CO are harmful, however the period of exposure is also important. The following symptoms are related to Carbon Monoxide poisoning and...
