IF ACTIVATION SHOULD OCCUR, IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN ALL ENGINES. TURN

OFF ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS, POWERED VENTILATION AND EXTINGUISH ALL

SMOKING MATERIALS. DO NOT OPEN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HATCH IMME-

DIATELY!! THIS FEEDS OXYGEN TO THE FIRE AND A FLASHBACK COULD RESULT.

ALLOW THE EXTINGUISHING AGENT TO SOAK THE GENERATOR COMPARTMENT FOR

AT LEAST 15 MINUTES AND WAIT FOR HOT METALS OR FUELS TO COOL BEFORE

CAUTIOUSLY INSPECTING FOR CAUSE OR DAMAGE. HAVE AN APPROVED PORTABLE

FIRE EXTINGUISHER AT HAND AND READY FOR USE. DO NOT BREATHE FUMES OR

VAPORS CAUSED BY THE FIRE!!

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU READ THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE FIRE EX-

TINGUISHING SYSTEM MANUFACTURER CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND

THE SYSTEM IN THEORY AND OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR BOAT.

9.6 Carbon Monoxide

CARBON MONOXIDE IS A LETHAL, TOXIC GAS THAT IS COLORLESS AND ODORLESS.

IT IS A DANGEROUS GAS THAT WILL CAUSE DEATH IN CERTAIN LEVELS.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR

A carbon monoxide (CO) detector is installed on the cabin bulkhead. If excess carbon monoxide fumes are

detected, the detector will sound an alarm indicating the presence of the toxic gas.

ACTUATION OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR INDICATES THE PRESENCE OF

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) WHICH CAN BE FATAL. EVACUATE THE CABIN IMMEDI-

ATELY. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR.

DO NOT REENTER THE CABIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM

FOUND AND CORRECTED.

The carbon monoxide detector warns the occupants of dangerous accumulation of

carbon monoxide gas. It is automatically activated whenever the house battery

switch is in the “on” position, energizing the cabin DC breaker panel. Upon power

up, the green power indicator will flash for ten to fifteen minutes. The feature

indicates the unit is in its warm-up stage. The green power indicator will stop

flashing when the sensor has reached optimum operating temperature. The power

indicator will then switch from flashing green to solid green to indicate that the

carbon monoxide detector is activated.

This device uses a micro controller to continuously measure and accumulate CO

levels. Should a very high level of carbon monoxide exist, the alarm will sound

within a few minutes. However, if small quantities of CO are present or high levels

are short-lived, the detector will accumulate the information and determine when

an alarm level has been reached.
