1. Read This First
Congratulations on becoming the owner
of a carbon monoxide alarm. This will
help protect you and your household
from the dangerous effects of carbon
monoxide - the silent killer.
• Wait 15 seconds after connecting
the power before button testing. We
recommend you:
• Install a CO alarm in every room that
contains a fuel burning appliance,
particularly rooms where people spend
a lot of time, such as bedrooms,
kitchens, etc.
• In rooms with an appliance, install
(preferably) on the ceiling (300mm
from walls) and between 1.5m to 3m
horizontally away from the appliance.
In rooms remote from the appliance,
install at ‘head height’, where the light
indicators can be seen.

• Test the alarm weekly by pressing the
test/hush button. The horn will sound at
a diminished sound output level initially
and then quickly reach maximum sound
output level.
• Replace alarm after approximately 10
years operation (see ‘replace by’ date
on label).
• Do not install alarm until all building work
is completed to avoid contamination.
• Individuals with medical problems may
consider warning devices which provide
audible and visual signals for carbon
monoxide concentrations under 30ppm.
2. Carbon Monoxide - The
Silent Killer
2.1 What is carbon monoxide?
Many people are killed each year, and
many more suffer ill health from carbon
monoxide (CO) poisoning. CO is an
invisible, odorless, tasteless and extremely
toxic gas. It is produced by appliances and
vehicles burning fuels, such as coal, oil,
natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol,
diesel, charcoal, etc. CO is absorbed by
red blood cells in the lungs in preference
to oxygen - this results in rapid damage
to the heart and brain from oxygen
starvation.
High levels of CO in a house can be
caused by:
• Incorrectly or poorly installed fuel-burning
appliances
• Blocked or cracked chimneys/flues
• Blocked vents or draft-proofing
which makes areas with fuel-burning
appliances or fireplaces airtight
• Engines of cars, lawnmowers, etc. left
running in confined spaces
• Portable paraffin or gas heaters in badly
ventilated rooms
2.2 What happens when your CO Alarm
detects Carbon Monoxide?
When the Alarm detects potentially
dangerous levels of CO, it flashes the red
alarm light immediately and then sounds
a loud alarm if the CO persists. Table
B shows how the CO Alarm reacts to
different levels of CO gas and exposure
time. At higher levels of CO the alarm
turns on sooner. The rate of flashing of
the red light indicates the level of CO.
If your CO Alarm sounds, follow the
instructions in Section 6. NEVER IGNORE
THE ALARM!

according to OSHA
150 Slight headache after 1.5
hours
200 Slight headache, fatigue,
dizziness, nausea after 2-3
hours
400 Frontal headaches
within 1-2 hours, life
threatening after 3 hours,
also maximum parts per

to US Environmental
Protection Agency.
800 Dizziness, nausea and
convulsions within 45
minutes. Unconsciousness
within 2 hours. Death within
2-3 hours.
1600 Headache, dizziness, and
nausea within 20 minutes.
Death within 1 hour.
3200 Headache, dizziness and
nausea within 5-10 minutes.
Death within 25-30 minutes.
6400 Headache, dizziness and
nausea within 1-2 minutes.
Death within 10-15 minutes.
12800 Death within 1-3 minutes
The following symptoms may be related
to Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and
should be discussed with all members of
the household:
Mild exposure: Headaches, running
nose, sore eyes, often described as “flu
like symptoms”
Medium Exposure: Dizziness,
drowsiness, vomiting
Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness,
brain damage, death
Many cases of reported carbon
monoxide poisoning indicate that while
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.
Pre-Alarm (before horn sounds): When
the Alarm detects over 50 ppm CO, the
red light flashes in accordance with Table
B. This helps locate CO leaks as the unit
gives an indication straight away.(Without
this feature the CO level would need to
be at 50 ppm CO for typically 72 minutes
for an alarm sound to be given). Note: the
pre-alarm signal may be triggered by CO
coming for example, from cooking with
gas, from car engines, or from nearby
barbecues. This is usually not a concern,
unless the pre-alarm signal persists until
the alarm sounds and the CO source is
unknown.
NOTE: The CO Alarm may sound if
cigarette smoke is blown into it, or
aerosols are released nearby.
CO ALARM MEMORY
The CO Alarm memory is an important
feature of the CO Alarm where even if
the house is unoccupied during an alarm
condition, it warns the homeowner that
the unit has previously detected CO gas
and been in alarm. The memory feature
has two operation modes:
- memory indication for 24 hour period
after alarm
- memory recall on demand
24 hour memory indicators: After
alarm, the RED light will flash at different
rates every 50 seconds depending on
the level of CO detected - see the CO
Response Table.
Memory recall on demand: To review
the memory status after initial 24 hours,
press and hold the test button. The red
