Transient CO situations can occur:
1.
Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as:
a)
Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air
with extended periods between cycles).
b)
Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
c)
Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning appliances competing for limited internal air.
d)
Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.
e)
Obstruction or unconventional vent pipe designs, which can amplify the above situations.
2.
Extended operation of un-vented fuel burning devices (range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
3.
Temperature inversions, which can trap, exhaust gasses near the ground.
4.
Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near a home.
CAUTION: This detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas. Accommodation spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or
similar contaminants are used.
CAUTION
Avoid the use of harsh cleaning materials, abrasives and other organic solvents. Such materials may permanently scratch
the surface, damage the sensor, labels, or instrument housing.
If you have any doubts about the applicability of the equipment to your situation, consult an industrial hygienist or call
Macurco Technical Service.
USER INSTRUCTIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Installation of this
equipment by untrained or unqualified persons, or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions may adversely affect
product performance and result in sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical
Service.
Use For
The CM-E1 is a low voltage (9-32 VDC) detector of Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CM–E1 is designed for connection to UL
Listed Fire Alarm/Burglary Control Panels. Alarm control panels that work on 12 or 24 VDC can provide battery backup to
the CM-E1 detectors. This carbon monoxide detector is designed to detect CO gas from ANY source of combustion.
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and detector are designed to monitor. Failure to do so may result in exposures to
gases not detectable and cause sickness or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Macurco Technical
Service.
Do Not Use For
The CM-E1 is NOT intended for use in industrial applications such as refineries, chemical plants, etc. The CM-E1 is NOT
intended for use in parking garages as the controller of exhaust systems. Do NOT use the CM-E1 for monitoring for
gases other than Carbon Monoxide (CO). The CM-E1 is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Do NOT
mount the unit in the garage. Do NOT mount the CM-E1 where the normal ambient temperature is below 40°F (4.4°C) or
exceeds 100°F (37.8°C), or within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a cooking or heating appliance. The Alarm Control Panel must
be dedicated to CO detection or have alarm devices that provide a distinctive alarm for carbon monoxide detection. Do
not connect the CM-E1 to Fire Alarm Circuits.
