(6) Never adjust your own gas pilot lights.
(7) Never use a gas cooker or a barbecue for home heating.
(8) Children should be warned of the dangers of CO poisoning and instructed never to touch, or
interfere with the CO Alarm. Do not allow small children to press the test/hush button as they
could be subjected to excessive noise when the CO Alarm sounds.
(9) Leaving windows or doors slightly open (even a few inches) will significantly reduce the risk
of high levels of CO occurring. The high levels of draught-proofing in modern houses reduces
ventilation and can allow dangerous gases to build up.
(10) Install CO Alarms in all the areas recommended in this booklet.
(11) Recognise that CO poisoning may be the cause when family members suffer from “flu-like”
symptoms when at home but feel better when they are away for extended periods.
IMPORTANT:
The Installation of a CO Alarm should not be used as a substitute for proper
installation, use and maintenance of fuel burning appliances including appropriate ventilation and
exhaust systems.
3.3 How does your Alarm work?
When the Alarm detects Fire and/or abnormal levels of CO, the red LED starts to flash and the horn will sound.
The standard Brooks Fire alarm pattern is a continuous rapid pulsing sound type, while the distinctive
Carbon Monoxide alarm pattern is a repeating cycle of 3 slower sound pulses followed by a pause.
On the EIB3028, the LED display will indicate if Fire or CO is detected. The flash rate of the red LED
indicator is dependent on the alarm event type, and in the case of CO, on the level detected. Table B
shows how the CO sensor reacts to different levels of CO gas and exposure time.
