WHY? Because Carbon Monoxide is an odorless, color-
less gas that prevents the blood from carrying oxygen
to the vital organs. CO (Carbon Monoxide) is 200 times
more likely to replace oxygen in the blood.
Check the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning in
this chapter (4.2.4) again right now, so you will be able to
recognize these symptoms should they ever arise.
DANGER
!
!
Mild
Exposure
100 – 400 PPM
(parts per million)
causes headaches and
fatigue resembling the flu.
Medium
exposure
400 – 800 PPM
causes severe headaches,
drowsiness, nausea, and
rapid heart rate.
Extreme
exposure
over 800 PPM
results in unconscious-
ness, convulsions, heart
or respiratory failure, and
death.
Many reported cases of Carbon Monoxide poisoning
determined 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, children and pets may be affected first.
Carbon Monoxide gas is produced when any type of fuel
is incompletely burned. Gasoline engines and fuel burn-
ing appliances (furnace, fireplace, oven, stove, water
heater, etc.) also, space heaters, gas, and charcoal grills
produce CO.
Extended operation of unvented fuel burning appliances
(range, oven, fireplace, etc.) can build up high CO lev-
els.
CAUTION
!
!
This alarm will only indicate the presence of Carbon
Monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon Monoxide gas
may be present in other areas.
WARNING
!
!
To reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning, test
the alarm’s operation after the boat has been in stor-
age, before each trip, and once a week during use.
DO NOT attempt to test the alarm by any other
means than by using the Test/Reset button.
DO NOT attempt to produce CO to test the alarm. The
Test/Reset button tests all functions of the alarm and is
the only safe way to be sure the alarm is working prop-
erly.
Once again, here and now, check in the DC Electric
chapter on the operation of your CO detector. Learn how
to use it, how it works, what the alarm signals are, and
what your response should be.
DANGER
!
!
Actuation of your CO alarm indicates the presence of
Carbon Monoxide (CO) which will KILL YOU! If the
alarm sounds:
1. Press the Reset/Silence button.
2. Call Emergency Services: Write the number here
____________________________.
3. Immediately move to fresh air, outdoors, or to an open
window or door. Do a head count to check that all persons
are accounted for. Do not re-enter the premises nor move
away from an open door or window until the emergency
responders have arrived, the premises have been aired
out, and your alarm remains in its normal operation.
4. After following steps 1, 2, and 3, if your alarm reacti-
vates in a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1 – 3 and call a
qualified appliance technician:
Write the number here __________________________
Where to Install Alarms:
For minimum protection, CO alarms should be
installed near all sleeping areas.
For maximum protection, CO alarms should be
installed in all sleeping areas.
Where not to Install Alarms:
Not behind furniture, drapes, closets, or areas that will
block air flow to the alarm.
