Carbon Monoxide Monitor
The CO monitor is an electronic instrument that detects carbon monoxide. The detector is very
sensitive and will notify you before dangerous amounts of CO can accumulate which will allow you to
take measures to dissipate the gas from the affected areas. When there is a buildup of CO in the
cabin, the monitor will alert the occupants by flashing a DANGER light and sounding an alarm. The CO
monitor is powered through a breaker on the battery panel in the cockpit.
It is important that you read and understand the CO monitor information and operating instructions.
Testing the CO Monitor
Test the monitor on your boat at manufacturers required intervals by pushing the TEST button on the
front of the unit. If the unit is operating correctly both audible and visual warning indicators will be
activated.
End of Life Signal
Your CO detector is equipped with an End Of Life (EOL) signal indicating the sensor used in the unit
has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced. The detector contains an electro
-
chemical sensor that will last approximately 7 years. Refer to your unit ’ s operation manual for EOL
signal indication and further information and instructions.
The EOL signal can be deactivated so that it does not alarm. DEACTIVATING THE CO ALARM IS
PERMANENT. REACTIVATING IS NOT POSSIBLE. DO NOT DEACTIVATE UNLESS YOU HAVE A
REPLACEMENT ALARM AVAILABLE TO INSTALL!
