3.Symptoms of CO poisoning
CO enters the body through breathing. CO poisoning can be confused with
flu symptoms, food poisoning and other illnesses. Some symptoms include
shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, light headedness or headaches.
High levels of CO can be fatal, causing death within minutes.
The concentration of CO, measured in parts per million (ppm) is a determining
factor in the symptoms for an average, healthy adult.

Mounting detector in the house with heating installations, furnaces or
garages, such as living room, corridor, kitchen, boiler room, parking lot,
basement and so on.

best warning effect.
4.Recommended mounted location
1. Keep a distance of above 1.5m from any heating installations or avoid
mounting right above.
2. Avoid mounting in the house with full of dust, pollution, dirt, grease
and high humidity.
3. Avoid mounting around air vent, conditioner vent and the ceiling fan.
4. If there are any volatile chemicals in the mounting place, they should
be sealed well in case that volatile gas will bring about detector
malfunction.If the house is being refurbished and painted, please

6.Mounting Detector
1.Home: The heating installation, such as hot-water heaters with gas and
gas stoves, is easy to combust incompletely and then produce CO.
3.Fire: Smolder is a kind of incomplete combustion. It often occurs before
& after the fire as a disaster and produce a large amount of CO.
The scooters/cars or general machine tools can
exhaust fumes with high concentration.
