CARBON MONOXIDE (CO)
DETECTOR SYSTEM
Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) is color-
less, odorless and tasteless. It is highly
poisonous, endangering lives even at
very low levels of concentration. Mild
exposure causes headaches and fa-
tigue, often resembling “flu-like” symp-
toms. Medium exposure causes severe
headaches, drowsiness, nausea and
rapid heart rate. Extreme exposure
results in unconsciousness, convul-
sions, cardiorespiratory failure and
death. If Carbon Monoxide Gas (CO) is
detected in your yacht, immediately
contact a qualified technician to locate
and repair the source of the poisonous
gas. DO NOT enter your yacht until
repairs have been made and the Car-
bon Monoxide Gas (CO) is lowered to
an acceptable level. Refer to the Car-
bon Monoxide Safety pages in the
Boating Safety section of this Owners
Manual.
Your 43MY is equipped with three(3)
SAFE-T-ALERT Carbon Monoxide Gas
(CO) detector monitors, which are located
within the interior as follows:
•Forward Stateroom
•Salon
•Aft Stateroom
Each CO monitor is operated by DC
electrical power and they are connected
directly to the batteries. It is not necessary
for the battery switch to be turned ON for
them to operate. The fuses for the moni-
tors are located behind the AC/DC Panel.
Operation of the CO monitors requires a
ten (10) minute warm-up period, during
which time, the sensor element is cleaned
and the unit is stabilized. During this ten
minute warm-up period, the GREEN
indicator light will flash ON and OFF. The
GREEN indicator light will remain ON after
the completion of the warm-up period until
the presence of Carbon Monoxide Gas is
detected. If the GREEN indicator light
does not illuminate, check all wiring con-
