This alarm monitors the air at the device and is designed to
alarm before CO levels become life threatening. This allows
precious time to leave the house and correct the problem. This is
only possible if the devices are properly located, installed and
maintained as described in this manual.
Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity Ranges:
This device is not formulated to detect CO levels below 30 ppm
typically. UL tested for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm),
Butane (300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm),
Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000 ppm).
Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in parts per million.
Audible Alarm: 85dBA minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).

WARNING! CO alarms are designed to alarm before there is an
immediate life threat. Since CO gas can not be seen or smelled,
never assume it is not present.
An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may not affect a
healthy adult, after 4 hours of exposure at the same level may
cause headache.
An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches in a healthy
adult after 35 minutes and could cause death after 2 hours.
NOTICE: This device measures exposure to CO over time. This
device alarms if CO levels reach a certain minimum over an extend-
ed amount of time. The device will go into alarm before the onset of
symptoms in healthy adults. It is important to have early notification
of a potential hazard, while still having the ability to react in time. In
many reported cases of CO exposure, victims may be aware that
they were not feeling well, but became disoriented and could no
longer react well enough to exit the building or get help.
NOTE: Healthy adults may not experience any symptoms of CO
exposure when the device alarms, however infants, young children,
pregnant women, elderly people, people with cardiac, respiratory or
other health related issues may be more quickly and severely
affected by CO exposure. If you are experiencing even mild
symptoms of CO poisoning, consult a medical professional
immediately.
Standards: Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. Single and Multiple
Station carbon monoxide alarms UL 2034. For your information, the
UL 2034 Standard, reads as follows:
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc UL 2034, Section 1-1.2 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, abnor-
mal operation from fuel-fired appliances and fireplaces. CO 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.
