LARM
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison.
It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas
produced by the incomplete combustion of
the fossil fuels. It is important to have a good
ventilation, maintain all appliances regularly
and have a functioning carbon monoxide
alarm
Early symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning are often mistaken for the flu
because the deadly gas goes undetected.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide
poisoning indicate while victims are aware
they are not well, they become so disoriented
they are unable to save themselves by either
exiting the RV or calling for assistance.
If you are in a RV with either a nearby tow
vehicle engine running or the generator (if
so equipped) running there is a potential
for exhaust fumes to filter back into the RV.
Avoid inhaling exhaust gases as they
contain carbon monoxide, which is a
potentially toxic gas that is colorless and
odorless.
Actuation of this alarm may indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide that can
KILL YOU. This alarm will only indicate
the presence of carbon monoxide gas at
the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be
present in other areas.
