Carefully keep the present operating manual. Intended for household or indoor use. The product
should only be used by a adult persons. Never expose to environments with high humidity (such as
bathroom), avoid contact with fluids.
WARNING: This alarm device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide only in the vicinity
of the sensor. However, carbon monoxide may occur also in other areas.
The product is intended for indoor use in usual households. It is not intended for measurement
according to the commercial and industrial standards of the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA).
CAUTION: This device is intended to protect persons from acute impacts of carbon
monoxide. It may not provide full protection to individuals with a specific disease. In case
of any doubt consult physician.
Persons suffering from health problems involving an increased sensitivity to carbon monoxide
should consider the use of another alarm device, reacting to carbon monoxide concentrations lower
than 30 ppm. This alarm is intended to detect carbon monoxide concentrations above 30 ppm.
Useful information on carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is considered a very dangerous, poisonous gas that is
colourless, has no smell and no taste and is highly toxic. From biochemical perspective it can be
generally said that the presence of carbon monoxide blocks (inhibits) the ability of blood to transfer
oxygen within the body, which may ultimately result in brain damage.
The following conditions may cause temporary accumulation of CO:
a) Excessive flue gas leakage from combustion plants or reverse streaming of flue gases due to
outdoor conditions such as wind direction and/or velocity, including strong wind blasts;
compressed air in exhaust ducts (cold/humid air with longer periods between cycles).
b) Negative differential pressure due to the use of exhaust fans.
c) Contemporary operation of several combustion plants sharing limited interior air capacity.
d) Exhaust tube of clothes dryer, boiler or water heater, released by vibrations.
e) Obstacles in exhaust tube or extraordinary shape of exhaust tube, worsening the situations
described above.
f) Prolonged operation of combustion plants with no flue gas exhaust (kitchen stove, oven,
fireplace etc.).
g) Temperature inversion causing flue gases to stay close to ground.
h) Idling car engine in an open or closed adjacent garage or close to a house.
Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
The following symptoms are related to carbon monoxide poisoning and it is important that all
household members be informed about them:
a) Slight exposure: slight headache, nausea, vomiting, tiredness (frequently reported as
influenza symptoms).
b) Medium exposure: severe pulsating headache, sleepiness, confusion, vomiting, accelerated
heart rate.
c) Extreme exposure: unconsciousness, spasms, cardiac and respiratory failure, death.
