Carbon Monoxide Gas and its Detection

This carbon monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not

expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the detector. Do not

open or tamper with the detector as this could cause malfunction. The

detector will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning

if not properly installed. The detector will only indicate the presence of

carbon monoxide gas at the sensor.

Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas. This carbon mon-

oxide detector is NOT:

• Designed to detect smoke, ﬁ re or any gas other than carbon monox-

ide

• To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning

appliances or the sweeping of chimneys.

• To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable alarm for the

spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning appliances or

chimneys

Carbon monoxide gas is a highly poisonous gas which is released when

fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore impos-

sible to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions in a

room where fuel burning appliances are well maintained and correctly

ventilated, the amount of carbon monoxide released into the room by

appliances should not be dangerous.
