1. What is Carbon Monoxide?

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that has no taste, colour or smell.

Potenal Sources of CO

•Wood-burning stoves

•Gas boilers and res

•Gas Hobs

•Oil and coal burning appliances

•Portable gas heaters

•Blocked ﬂues and chimneys

•Fumes from integral garages

•Barbecues

•High concentraons of tobacco smoke

This CO alarm is no substute for proper maintenance of your

appliances.

Carbon monoxide can be produced from poorly burning appliances

or from blocked ﬂues and chimneys.

If your alarm has sounded and you have venlated the room the CO

may have dispersed before help arrives. It is crucial that the source

of CO is determined and appropriate maintenance carried out.

Carbon monoxide is a cumulave poison meaning long-term exposure to low levels may cause

symptoms. This alarm is me-weighted – the higher the level of CO, the sooner it will alarm.

NOTE: The apparatus may respond to brief exhaust gas emissions, for example during the inial

start-up of an appliance. Also, hydrogen acts as an interferent and can arise from some baery

charging acvies and the curing of concrete or cement under certain circumstances. Volale

Organic Compounds (VOCs), e.g. alcohols, which may eventually acvate the alarm, can be

generated from use of damp-proo ng materials or other coangs containing alkylalkoxysilanes.

Further informaon for Caravan and Boat Owners

The following can lead to carbon monoxide being produced:

• Using LPG cooking appliances for space heang

• Leaving LPG appliances on overnight

• Barbecues within the boat cabin or near a caravan door (e.g. under an awning)

To be safe, know the possible sources of CO in your home. Keep fuel burning appliances,

chimneys and vents in good working condion. Learn the early symptoms of exposure, and if

you suspect CO poisoning, move outside into fresh air and get emergency help. Your ﬁrst line of

defence is an annual inspecon and regular maintenance of your appliances. Contact a licensed

contractor or call your local ulity company for assistance.

This alarm has not been tested speci cally for use in caravans or boats. Only CO alarms

cer ed to EN50291-2 are fully approved for this purpose.

2. Important Safety Informaon

If you recognise any of the above symptoms consult your Doctor immediately.

Young children, elderly and pets are more suscepble to the dangers of CO.

Your Kidde alarm is designed to detect CO gas. It is not designed to detect smoke, re

or other gas such as natural gas.

This product is intended for use in ordinary family homes. It is not designed to

measure compliance with occupaonal safety and the HSE.

Individuals with certain speci c medical condions may need an alarm that operates

below 30ppm. If this applies consult your Doctor.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that all family members are familiar with the symptoms of CO

poisoning and how your alarm works.

CAUTION: This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide at the sen-

sor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas.

3. What to do if Your Alarm Sounds!

Carbon Monoxide Alarm Procedure

WARNING! Acvaon of the alarm indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide

(CO) which can kill you.

Based on recommendaons from EN 50292, follow these steps if alarm sounds (4 loud audible

pulses followed by a pause for 5 seconds, repeang):

1. Keep calm and open all doors and windows. Turn oﬀ all fuel-burning appliances if possible.

Note: it is possible that outdoor condions could in uence domesc CO alarms (bad traﬃc

polluon in cold weather, for example). In these circumstances, the level of indoor CO

might actually increase when doors and windows are opened.

2. If the alarm connues to sound, even aer being reset (where appropriate), then evacuate

the premises, alerng other occupants to the risk. Leave doors and windows open. Do not

re-enter the premises.

3. Get medical help for anyone suﬀering the eﬀects of CO poisoning, and advise that CO inhala-

on is suspected.

4. Call Gas Emergency Services: 0800 111 999, or your local Gas Safe Registered Engineer:

Addional telephone numbers are available for solid fuel (HETAS) and oil (Oec) users at the

back of this manual

2539-7201-05_10LLCO_10LLDCO_V1:_ 2016.11.2 9:06 AM Page 7

Never ignore the sound of the alarm! Never restart the source of the CO problem unl it has

been corrected. If the alarm is sounding, pressing the test/reset buon will terminate the

alarm. If the CO condion that caused the alert in the ﬁrst place connues, the alarm will

reacvate. If the unit alarms again within six minutes, it is sensing high levels of CO which can

quickly become a dangerous situaon.

4. Switching on Your CO Alarm

NOTE: Your CO alarm must be installed by a competent person using the guidance that follows:

1. The alarm is shipped turned oﬀ and is acvated the ﬁrst me the mounng bracket is

aached. To acvate the alarm; for wall-mounng install the mounng bracket using the

instrucons below and slide the alarm unl it snaps into place. For tabletop applicaons

simply slide the bracket onto the unit unl it snaps into place.

2. To test the alarm, press the test buon. The alarm will beep once followed by 4 loud

pulses, then a brief pause and then 4 more pulses, ending with a single beep. The alarm has

a ‘ramp-up’ horn so during the test sequence it will sound more soly, making it more

comfortable for the user. This conﬁrms that the alarm is powered up and working.

3. Check that the green LED ashes at 30 second intervals to show that the alarm has power.

This is easiest to see in a dark area, or with lights switched oﬀ.

5. Installaon Instrucons – Recommended Locaons

•

When wall-mounng place the alarm a horizontal distance of between 1 metre and 3 metres from a fuel

burning appliance.

•

Wall-mounted alarms should be close to the ceiling, but at least 150mm away to avoid being in ‘dead-air’ space.

•

Locate within hearing distance of bedrooms* and place at sleeping height if a heang appliance is in the

bedroom.

•

CO alarms in rooms with sloped ceilings should be located on the high side of the room.

•

Ceiling mounted alarms should be at least 300 mm from any wall.

•

If there is a paron in the room, locate the alarm on the same side of the paron as the potenal source.

*A CO alarm should be installed in all rooms containing a fuel burning appliance. Addional CO alarms should be

installed in rooms where most awake me is spent, in every sleeping area, and on every level of the home.

Locaons to Avoid

•

Avoid locang next to draughts, such as doors, windows, extractor fans, air vents or other

similar venlaon openings.

•

Avoid locang close to obstrucons (e.g. behind curtains, shelves or furniture).

•

Avoid dusty, dirty or greasy areas, such as garages or workshops

•

Avoid humid (bathrooms), cold (< -10 oC) or hot (> 40 oC) or damp areas and keep away from sinks.
