General limitations of CO detectors
CO detectors require a source of power to work. Verify that the
green LED on the detector is flashing at all times. Since this unit is
powered by a control panel, it may not operate during a power
failure or if the control panel is disabled.
WARNING:
This product is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of family living units. It is not designed to meet
compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
The 250-CO detector is not intended to meet the requirements of
CAN/CSA-6.19 (Residential Carbon Monoxide Alarming Devices).
Please check with the local codes concerning the applicability of
this requirement for each installation.
People with special medical problems should consider using
specialized detection devices with less than 30 ppm (parts per
million) alarming capabilities.
This detector only indicates the presence of carbon monoxide gas
at the detector. CO may be present in other areas. Anything
preventing CO from reaching the detector, such as closed doors,
could delay or prevent detector activation.
If the unit is in trouble or at the end of its life, it may not sense CO
and cannot be relied upon to monitor carbon monoxide levels.
CO detectors are not smoke detectors:
This detector is designed
to detect CO from any combustion source. It is not designed to
detect smoke, fire, or any other gas.
CO detectors may not be heard:
A sound sleeper, or someone
who has taken drugs or alcohol, may not awaken if the detector is
installed outside a bedroom. Normal noise due to stereos,
television, etc. may also prevent the detector from being heard if
distance or closed or partly closed doors muffle the sounder. This
unit is not designed for the hearing impaired.
CO detectors are not a substitute for life insurance:
Though
these detectors will warn against increasing CO levels, we do not
warrant or imply in any way that they will protect lives from CO
poisoning. They should only be considered as an integral part of a
comprehensive safety program.
