CAUTIOUSLY INSPECTING FOR CAUSE OR DAMAGE. HAVE AN APPROVED PORTABLE
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AT HAND AND READY FOR USE. DO NOT BREATHE FUMES OR

9.6 Carbon Monoxide
CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.
IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed on the cabin bulkhead. If excess carbon monoxide fumes are
detected, the detector will sound an alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas.
ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL. EVACUATE THE CABIN IMMEDI-
ATELY. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.
DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM
FOUND AND CORRECTED.
The carbon monoxide detector warns the occupants of dangerous accumulation of
carbon monoxide gas. It is automatically activated whenever the house battery
switch is in the “on” position, energizing the cabin DC breaker panel. Upon power
up, the green power indicator will flash for ten to fifteen minutes. The feature
indicates the unit is in its warm-up stage. The green power indicator will stop
flashing when the sensor has reached optimum operating temperature. The power
indicator will then switch from flashing green to solid green to indicate that the
carbon monoxide detector is activated.
This device uses a micro controller to continuously measure and accumulate CO
levels. Should a very high level of carbon monoxide exist, the alarm will sound
within a few minutes. However, if small quantities of CO are present or high levels
are short-lived, the detector will accumulate the information and determine when
an alarm level has been reached.
