IF ACTIVATION SHOULD OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES. TURN
OFF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, POWERED VENTILATION AND EXTINGUISH ALL
SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HATCH IMME-
DIATELY!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND A FLASHBACK COULD RESULT.
ALLOW THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT TO SOAK THE GENERATOR COMPARTMENT FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND WAIT FOR HOT METALS OR FUELS TO COOL BEFORE
CAUTIOUSLY INSPECTING FOR CAUSE OR DAMAGE. HAVE AN APPROVED PORTABLE
FIRE EXTINGUISHER AT HAND AND READY FOR USE. DO NOT BREATHE FUMES OR
VAPORS CAUSED BY THE FIRE!!
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE FIRE EX-
TINGUISHING SYSTEM MANUFACTURER CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND
THE SYSTEM IN THEORY AND OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.
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
Carbon monoxide (CO) detectors are installed in the cabin on the rear and forward 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 panel feed breaker is in the “ON” position. 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.
