What You Need to Know About CO What is CO? CO is an invisible, odorless, tasteless gas produced when fossil fuels do not burn completely, or are exposed to heat (usually fire). Electrical appliances typically do not produce CO. These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly.
Potential Sources of CO in the Home Fuel-Burning Appliances: Like portable heater, gas or wood burning fireplace, gas kitchen range or cooktop, gas clothes dryer. Damaged or Insufficient Venting: Corroded or disconnected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged chimney opening. Improper Use of Appliance/Device: Operating a barbecue grill or vehicle in an enclosed area (like a garage or screened porch).
Potential Sources of CO in the Home (Continued) How Can I Protect My Family From CO Poisoning? A CO Alarm is an excellent means of protection. It monitors the air and sounds a loud alarm before Carbon Monoxide levels become threatening for average, healthy adults. A CO Alarm is not a substitute for proper maintenance of home appliances. To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO poisoning: • Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of debris, leaves, and nests for proper air flow.
Regulatory Information for CO Alarms What Levels of CO Cause an Alarm? Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL2034 requires residential CO Alarms to sound when exposed to levels ofCO and exposure times as described below. They are measured in partsper million (ppm) of CO over time (in minutes). UL2034 Required Alarm Points*: • If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 4 & 15 MINUTES. • If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM BETWEEN 10 & 50 MINUTES.
Regulatory Information for Smoke Alarms Installing Smoke Alarms in Single-Family Residences The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), recommends one Smoke Alarm on every floor, in every sleeping area, and in every bedroom. In new construction, the Smoke Alarms must be AC powered and interconnected. See “Agency Placement Recommendations” for details.

The transmitter module must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. As long as the condition above is met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
Special Compliance Considerations This Smoke Alarm is suitable for use in apartments, condominiums, townhouses, hospitals, day care facilities, health care facilities, boarding houses, group homes and dormitories provided a primary fire detection system already exists to meet fire detection requirements in common areas like lobbies, hallways, or porches.
