These are known as “instantaneous” alarms, since Pocket CO will
alarm as soon as the level of CO reaches or exceeds these
levels. The alarms at these levels are designed to protect you
from the
immediate
health effects of carbon monoxide.
Pay
attention to your Pocket CO when it alarms, and vacate the area
until the source of the CO can be found and addressed.
The 50ppm is an optional, low-concentration alarm, which can be
disabled using the Menu (see Section 3.8).
The Pocket CO will also pulse its alarms during the following, non-
CO related situations:
•
Self Test: One alarm pulse is normal and expected during
the Self Test.
•
Temperature above 50
o
C (122
o
F), or below 0
o
C (32
o
F):
Alarm pulses, plus “HOT” or “COLD” on the display.
•
Sensor Malfunction: One alarm pulse, plus “SNSR” on the
display. Note that absence of this alarm does not necessarily
guarantee that the sensor is working normally.
