What Is Carbon Monoxide (CO)
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an odourless, invisible, highly poisonous gas.
It is created through incomplete combustion of fuels, such as wood, wooden coal, coal, fuel oil, paraffin,
gasoline, natural gas, propane, butane, etc., and from cigarette smoke.
A dangerous concentration of CO can form if the fuel-consuming device is faulty or not properly main-
tained, if the flue is blocked or the room insufficiently aired.
The seriousness of CO inhalation poisoning depends on concentration (listed as number of particles
per million, ppm) and the duration of exposure.
Concentration Symptoms
100 ppm No symptoms – no danger
200 ppm Slight headaches
400 ppm Strong headaches after 1–2 hours
800 ppm Strong headaches after 45 minutes, nausea, faintness and unconsciousness
after 2 hours
1 000 ppm Dangerous concentration - unconsciousness after 1 hour
1 600 ppm Nausea, strong headaches and dizziness after 20 minutes
3 200 ppm Nausea, strong headaches and dizziness after 5–10 minutes, unconsciousness
after 30 minutes
6 400 ppm Nausea, strong headaches and dizziness after 1–2 minutes, unconsciousness
after 10–15 minutes
12 800 ppm Instant unconsciousness, risk of death after 1–2 minutes
All persons residing on the premises should be made aware of the symptoms of CO poisoning!
The device for monitoring CO concentration activates the alarm if it detects a certain concentration of
CO for a certain duration:
CO concentration in ppm Alarm activation
≥50 60 to 90 min
≥100 10 to 40 min
≥300 within 3 min
Installation
The installation must be performed by a qualified person.
Ideally, the warning device should be located in every room with a fuel-burning device.
It is strongly recommended to also install warning devices in bedrooms and rooms where you spend
a lot of time.
It the warning device is installed in the same room as the fuel-burning device:
• Place the warning device in the vicinity of the ceiling and above the level of the top edge of
windows and doors.
