2. Carbon Monoxide Alarm: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds
NOTE:
This is not a carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, but will receive and transmit a CO alarm signal (with voice
message) from an interconnected CO or combination smoke / CO alarm.
The carbon monoxide (CO) alarm pattern is four quick beeps with voice “Warning! Carbon Monoxide” repeating
every 5 seconds.
WARNING: ACTUATION Of yOUR CO ALARM INDICATES THE pRESENCE Of CARbON MONOxIDE (CO)
WHICH CAN KILL yOU. If ALARM SIGNAL SOUNDS:
1)
Operate the Test/Hush® button.
NOTE:
Pressing the button on the initiating CO or combination smoke/CO unit in your
system will silence the alarm notification, including all interconnected units. If the CO or combination smoke/CO unit goes
into alarm mode again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can quickly become a
dangerous situation.
2)
Call your emergency services (Fire Department or 911).
EMERGENCy pHONE #: _______________________
3)
Immediately move to fresh air — outdoors or by an open door / window. Do a head count to check that all persons are
accounted for. Alert small children in the home as well as anyone else that might have difficulty recognizing the impor-
tance of the alarm sounding or that might have difficulty leaving the area without help. Do not reenter the premises or
move away from the open door/window until the emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have been
aired out, and your alarm remains in its normal condition.
4)
After following steps 1-3, if the alarm reactivates within a 24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified appliance
technician to investigate sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and to inspect for proper operation
of equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced immediately. Note any combustion equipment not
inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s instructions, or contact the manufacturer directly for more informa-
tion about CO safety and the equipment. Make sure that motor vehicles are not, or have not been, operating in a garage attached
or adjacent to the residence. Never restart the source of a CO problem until it has been corrected. Never ignore the sound of the
alarm!
NOTE:
See Section RECOGNIZING NUISANCE ALARMS, for nuisance alarm situations.
