The Carbon Monoxide Alarm (continued)
According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
UL2034, Section 1.2: “Carbon monoxide
alarms covered by these requirements are
intended to respond to the presence of carbon
monoxide from sources such as, but not limited
to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines,
abnormal operation of fuel-fired appliances,
and fireplaces. Carbon monoxide alarms are
intended to alarm at carbon monoxide levels
below those that could cause a loss of ability to
react to the dangers of carbon monoxide
exposure.
This CO alarm monitors the air, and is designed
to alarm before CO levels become life
threatening. This allows you precious time to
leave the house and correct the problem. This
is only possible if alarms are located, installed,
and maintained as described in this manual.
This CO alarm is designed to alert you to
a potentially dangerous build-up of CO over
time. It cannot fix a CO problem, and it
cannot identify a specific source of CO.
The company shall not be obligated to pay
for any carbon monoxide investigation or
service call conducted by a Fire Department,
or licensed investigator or repairman,
arranged by the homeowner in response to
an alarm.
WARNING!
This product is intended for use in ordinary
indoor locations of family living units. It is
not designed to measure CO levels in
compliance with Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) commercial
or industrial standards. Individuals with
medical conditions may consider using
warning devices which provide audible and
visual signals for carbon monoxide
concentrations under 30 ppm.
