7.4 Remote Alarm
7.4.1 If the remote machine alarm, then the local machine received the signal, will also emit alarm sound, but no ALARM light
flashing.
Note: press the TEST/SILENCE button to silence the local alarm, but not the remote device.
8. General maintenance
To keep your CO alarm in good working order, please follow these simple steps:
8.1 Verify the unit's alarm sound and indictors operation by enable the TEST/SILENCE button once a week.
8.2 Remove the unit from the wall and clean the alarm cover and vents with a soft brush attachment once a month to
remove dust and dirt.
8.3 Never use detergents or other solvents to clean the device.
8.4 Avoid spraying air fresheners, hair spray, or other aerosols near the CO alarm.
8.5 Do not paint the unit. Paint will seal the vents and interfere with the sensor's ability to detect CO. Never attempt to
disassemble the unit or clean inside. This action will void your warranty.
8.6 As soon as possible, place the CO alarm back in its proper location to assure continuous protection from carbon
monoxide poisoning.
8.7 When household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are used, the area should be ventilated.
WARNING!
- The following substances can affect the sensor and may cause false actions: methane, propane, isobutene, isopropanol,
ethylene, benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxides, alcohol based products, paints, thinner,
solvents, adhesives, hair sprays, after shaves, perfumes and some cleaning agents.
WARNING!
- Your CO alarm will not be operational and will not monitor for CO levels without battery.
WARNING!
- 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 consult a medical practitioner.
9. Carbon monoxide (CO) overview
CO cannot be seen, smelled or tasted and can be fatal. The build up of CO in the blood is called the carboxyhemoglobin
(COHb) level and interferes with the body's ability to supply itself with oxygen. Depending on the concentration, CO can
kill in minutes. The most common sources of CO are malfunctioning gas appliance used for heating and cooking,
vehicles running in an attached garage, blocked chimneys or flues, portable fuel burning heaters, fireplaces, fuel
powered tools and operating a grill in an enclosed space. Indications of carbon monoxide poisoning include symptoms
similar to the flu, but with no fever. Other symptoms include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, headache, nausea, vomiting,
sleepiness and confusion. Every year a qualified technician should inspect and clean your heating system, vents,
chimney, and flues. The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed
with ALL members of the household:
9.1 Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "Flu-like" symptoms).
9.2 Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, fast heat rate.
9.3 Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, cardiorespiratory failure, death. The above levels of exposure relate to healthy
adults. Levels differ for those at high risk. Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent
damage and disabilities. 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 effected. Familiarization with the effects of each
level is important.
WARNING!
- Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities.
