SYSTEM OPERATIONS-16
Each CO Monitor is operated by DC Electri-
cal Power and they are connected directly
to the batteries. It is not necessary for the
battery switch to be turned ON for them to
operate. The fuses for the monitors are
located behind the AC/DC Panel.
The CO Monitor System has three indicator
lights (GREEN, YELLOW, and RED) which
illuminate on the control panel. When the
monitor is installed, these indicator lights will
light up simultaneously for about 1 second,
followed by a short buzzing signal, and after
which, they will go OFF. Following this pro-
cess, the three indicator lights will illuminate
according to the code of the monitor.
Operation of the CO Monitors requires a
three (3) minute INITIAL HEATING PHASE;
during which time, the commands to the so-
lenoid valve and the buzzer will be inhibited.
Throughout this three (3) minute warm-up
period, the GREEN and YELLOW indicator
lights will
fl ash ON and OFF simultaneously.
At the end of this Initial Heating Phase, the
YELLOW indicator light will go OFF, but the
GREEN indicator light will remain
fl ashing to
signify that the monitor is working properly.
If the GREEN indicator light does not illu-
minate, check all wiring connections; clean
and tighten, if necessary. If the GREEN
indicator light still fails to illuminate, contact
your Silverton Dealer for inspection and re-
placement. DO NOT attempt to make any
repairs to the unit(s) yourself.
CO Alarm
In the event that Carbon Monoxide Gas is
detected, the RED indicator light will turn ON
and remain ON while a built-in buzzer emits
a continuous signal. This indicates the pres-
ence of a dangerous level of Carbon Monox-
ide Gas. If the RED indicator light turns ON,
please note that IMMEDIATE ACTION IS
REQUIRED. Contact a quali
fi ed technician
to locate the source of the Carbon Monoxide
Gas and repair the monitoring device. DO
NOT enter your yacht until repairs have
been made and the CO vapors have been
brought down to an acceptable level.
When CO vapors are no longer present, or
have lowered to an acceptable level, the
monitor will return to its normal operating
state whereas the GREEN indicator light will
start
fl ashing ON and OFF, representing that
the monitor is working properly.
CO Monitor Malfunction
When the CO Monitor is running properly,
the GREEN indicator light will always
fl ash
ON and OFF. If the GREEN indicator light
remains ON without
fl ashing, or if it is OFF
completely, this means that the monitor is
no longer working properly and a failure
has occurred. If a failure has occurs inside
the monitor, the GREEN indicator light will
stop
fl ashing and remain fi xed, while the
YELLOW indicator light will start fl ashing.
When this happens, you will need to contact
a quali
fi ed technician to repair or replace the
unit. DO NOT attempt to make any repairs
to the unit(s) yourself.
