HÄKÄKAASUN TUNNISTIN

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless and tasteless gas which inhibits the blood's capacity to carry oxygen, and can be fatal when inhaled. CO is released by burning fuels: gas, oil, wood, charcoal, coke, coal and petrol. Dangers arise when fuel-burning appliances malfunction, are improperly installed, or not ventilated correctly.

Possible sources of CO include:

• Furnaces
  • Gas range/stoves
• Water heaters
• Portable fuel burning heaters
• Fireplaces
  • Wood-burning stoves
• Blocked chimneys or flues

Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel-burning appliances caused by wind direction and/or velocity.

TESTING YOUR CO ALARM

Due to the loudness (85 decibels) of the alarm, always stand at arm's length away from the unit when testing. After installation, the unit's electronics can be tested by pressing the "Test" button and holding for 5 seconds. A series of beeps will indicate that the unit is operational and the red LED will flash.

It is recommended that the unit is tested weekly. If at any time it does not perform as described, firstly verify that the power is correctly connected and that the battery does not need replacing, then clean any dust and other built-up material off the unit. If it still does not operate correctly, contact the supplier of the alarm.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE OF DETECTOR

To keep your CO detector in good working order, please follow these simple steps:

• verify the unit's alarm and LED light operation by pushing the test button once a week
• remove dust and dirt from the detector cover once a month using a dry cloth

END OF SENSOR LIFE

The unit must be replaced if there is a fault with the sensor or when the sensor "end of life" warning is given (the yellow LED will flash).

REMARKS:

WHEN HOUSEHOLD CLEANING SUPPLIES OR SIMILAR CONTAMINANTS ARE USED, THE AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED.

THE FOLLOWING SUBSTANCES CAN AFFECT THE CO SENSOR AND MAY CAUSE FALSE ALARMS AND DAMAGE TO THE SENSOR:

METHANE, PROPANE, ISO-BUTANE, ISO-PROPANOL, ETHYL ACETATE, HYDROGEN SULFIDE DIOXIDES, AND ALCOHOL BASED PRODUCTS, PAINTS, THINNERS, SOLVENTS, ADHESIVES, HAIR SPRAY, AFTER SHAVE, PERFUME AND OTHER CLEANING AGENTS.

USING THE DETECTOR

The unit will emit a “beep” sound and the red LED will flash once as a power up. The unit will start to detect CO within 90 seconds of the batteries being installed.

Normal conditions: If there is no CO present, the green power LED will flash once every 30 seconds.

Alarm conditions: If the unit detects CO the alarm pattern will sound (3 short beeps) and the red LED will flash for as long the CO remains at a dangerous level.

Silence function: If required, the audible alarm can be silenced by pressing the "Test" button. The detector will re-activate after 30 seconds if CO remains present.

End of battery life: When the battery is run down, the unit will "beep" once every 30 seconds. The green LED will continue to flash every 30 seconds.

Alarm memory feature: If you leave the property for a long period and in your absence the alarm has activated, the unit will memorize the activation. On returning to the property press the "Test" button for several seconds, the red LED will flash 3 times every 30 seconds if the alarm has activated in your absence. The property should be immediately ventilated and the cause of the alarm investigated and rectified. Pressing the "Test" button again will return the unit to normal operation.

End of sensor life: When the sensor comes to the end of its life, the yellow LED will flash continuously and the alarm will sound.

WHAT TO DO IF THE ALARM SOUNDS

If the alarm sounds:

• Immediately open windows and doors to ventilate the property
• Call the Emergency Services
• If possible, turn off and stop using any fuelled appliances
• Evacuate the property

- Do not re-enter the property until the cause of CO has been detected and isolated, and the detector has returned to normal operation

- Seek medical assistance for anyone suffering from, or suspected to be suffering from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning

- Do not use fuelled appliances until they have been assessed and cleared by a competent professional

CO SAFETY TIPS

• Have any heating systems, vents, chimneys and flues inspected annually by a competent professional
• Always install appliances according to the manufacturer's instructions and adhere to local building regulations
• Most appliances should be installed by a professional and inspected after installation. Regularly examine vents, chimneys and flues for improper connections, rust/stains and cracks

• Verify the colour of the flame on pilot lights and burners is blue. A yellow or orange flame is a sign that the fuel is not burning completely
• Teach everyone what the detector alerts are and how to respond to them

SYMPTOMS OF CO POISONING

Initial carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms are similar to the flu with no fever; these can include dizziness, severe headaches, nausea, vomiting and disorientation.

Everyone is susceptible but experts agree that unborn babies, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with heart or respiratory problems are especially vulnerable.

If symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning are experienced, seek medical attention immediately. CO poisoning can be determined by a carboxyhaemoglobin test.

The following symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the household / organization:

1. Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often described as "flu-like" symptoms).
2. Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
3. Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio respiratory failure, death.

The above levels of exposure relate to healthy adults. Levels can differ for those at high risk.

Exposure to high levels of carbon monoxide can be fatal or cause permanent damage and disabilities. Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate that whilst victims are aware they are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building, or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may be the first affected. Familiarisation with the effects of each level is important.

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATIONS

Important: This alarm is designed to be ceiling mounted.

For maximum protection it is suggested that an alarm is installed in all rooms containing a fuel burning appliance and on each level of a multilevel property, including finished attics and basements.

For alarms located in the same room as a fuel burning appliance, it should be:

- On the ceiling at least 300mm from any device, or if located on a wall, as high as possible (above doors and windows), but not within 150mm of the ceiling.

- Between 1m and 3m horizontally from the appliance.

If there is only one alarm available for domestic use, ensure it is placed in the hallway outside the main sleeping area(s). Verify that the alarm can be heard in all sleeping areas.

WHERE NOT TO INSTALL

Do NOT install the alarm in the following areas:

• Garages, kitchens, boiler cupboards or bathrooms
  • Excessively dusty, dirty or greasy areas
• Where drapes or other objects can block the detector
• In the peaks of vaulted ceilings, "A" frame ceilings or gabled roofs
  • Within 300mm of fluorescent lights
• Next to doors and windows that open to the outside
• Areas where the temperature is below 4.4^ or above 37.8^

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Remove the mounting bracket from the back of the unit by twisting the unit and connect the battery to activate the alarm.

1. After selecting a suitable location for the alarm, drill two 5.0mm holes in the ceiling or wall using the mounting bracket as a guide and insert the plastic plugs (provided).
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the ceiling or wall using the screws provided.
3. Align the activated alarm to the mounting bracket and twist to secure.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
