What to Do When the Alarm Sounds for Carbon Monoxide
Determine if anyone in the household is experiencing symp-
toms of CO poisoning. Many cases of reported CO 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. Also young
children and household pets may be the first affected. The fol-
lowing symptoms are related to CARBON MONOXIDE POI-
SONING and should be discussed with ALL members of the
household.
When the CO Alarm senses a dangerous level of CO, the unit
will emit a loud alarm pattern and display the concentration of
CO in parts per million (PPM). The alarm pattern is a series of
short beeps. This pattern is repeated until the CO concentra-
tion has dropped to normal level.
Know how to respond to a CO emergency. Periodically review
this user’s guide and discuss it with all members of your fami-
ly.
If the Alarm Sounds for Carbon Monoxide:
1) Operate test/reset button;
2) Call Transco (British Gas);
3) Immediately move to fresh air. Do a head count to check
that all persons are accounted for. Do not re-enter the
premises until British Gas responders have arrived, the
premises have been aired out, and your CO Alarm
remains in its normal condition.
4) After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a
24 hour period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified Corgi
installer to examine and/or turn off your gas/oil fired appli-
ances such as space heater, boiler, water heater, cooker
oven, clothes dryer or other source of combustion, such as
paraffin burning stove or heater or gas log fireplace. If your
car is idling in an attached garage, turn off the engine.
5) To investigate for sources of CO from fuel burning equip-
ment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of
this equipment. If problems are identified during this
inspection have the equipment serviced immediately.
