Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure
WARNING:
Activation of the CO
Alarm indicates the presence of Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which can kill you.
What to do When the Alarm Sounds!
If alarm sounds 4 quick beeps, 5 seconds off:
1)
Operate Test /Reset button.
2)
Call your emergency services (FIRE DEPT or 911).
3)
Immediately MOVE TO FRESH AIR – outdoors or by an open
door / Window.
4)
After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24
hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance
technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper operation
of 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 manufacturer’s
instructions, or contact the manufacturer directly for more
information about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that
motor vehicles are not, or have not been, operating in a garage
attached or adjacent to the residence.
Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been
corrected. Never ignore the sound of the alarm!
If the alarm is sounding, pressing the Test/Hush button will
terminate the alarm. If the CO condition that caused the alert
in the first place continues, the alarm will reactivate. If the
unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels
of CO which can quickly become a dangerous situation.
