WARNING
Failure to replace this product by the
“REPLACE BY DATE” printed on the alarm
cover may result in death by Carbon Monoxide
poisoning. Replace by Date is six (6) years from
the date of manufacture.
WARNING
Activation of your CO alarm’s audible horn
indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO)
that can cause death. Leave the area
immediately
!
WARNING
This product is intended for use in ordinary,
indoor locations of family living units. It is not
designed to measure compliance with
occupational safety and health administration
(OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Individuals who are at special risk from carbon
monoxide exposure because of age, pregnancy,
or medical condition may consider using
warning devices which provide audible and
visual signals for carbon monoxide concentration
under 30 ppm. If in doubt, consult your medical
practitioner.
NOTE
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed for
indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or
moisture. Do not knock or drop the alarm. Do
not open or tamper with the alarm as this could
cause malfunction. The alarm will not protect
against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
when the batteries are dead or missing. The
alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
Important Safety Precautions
• Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete
combustion of fuels such as wood, charcoal, coal,
heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane,
butane, etc.
• Ensure that the alarm can be heard by all those
who are intended to hear it. Seek medical help if it
is suspected that a user of the camper is suffering
from carbon monoxide poisoning.
• If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the
problem. Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness,
injury, or death. (CO may be present even if nothing
is seen or smelled by the user.)
• Room spaces should be well ventilated when
household cleaning supplies are used as these may
cause a false alarm.
• Alarm should be tested once per week
What Is Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas
that is released when fuels are burned. It is
invisible, has no smell, and is therefore, very
difficult to detect with the human senses. Under
normal conditions, in a room where fuel-burning
appliances are well maintained and correctly
ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released
into the room by appliances is not dangerous.
These fuels include: wood, coal, charcoal, oil,
natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane.
Common appliances are often sources of CO. If
they are not properly maintained, are improperly
ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise
quickly. CO is a real danger in air-tight campers
with added insulation, sealed windows, and other
weatherproofing that can trap CO inside.
