The alarm will not protect against the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
when the batteries are dead or missing. The alarm will only indicate the
presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide gas
may be present in other areas.
IMPORTANT
1. Carbon monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such
as wood, charcoal, coal, heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane,
butane, etc.
2. Ideally, it is recommended that a carbon monoxide alarm should be installed
in or near every room that has a fuel burning appliance such as any room
heaters, water heaters, cookers, grills, etc.
3. Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those who are intended to
hear it. Seek medical help if it is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering
from carbon monoxide poisoning.
4. If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the problem. Ignoring the alarm
may result in sickness, injury or death. (CO may be present even if nothing is
seen or smelled by the user).
5. Room spaces should be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies
are used as these may cause a false alarm.
6. Alarm should be tested once per week.
WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas which is released when fuels
are burnt. It is invisible, has no smell and is therefore very difficult to detect
with the human senses. Under normal conditions, in a room where fuel burning
appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of carbon
monoxide released into the room by appliances is not dangerous.
These fuels include: Wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene,
and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not
properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can
rise quickly. CO is a real danger in “Air-tight” RVs with added insulation, sealed
windows, and other weatherproofing can “trap” CO inside.
The following conditions can result in potentially dangerous CO situations.
1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by
outdoor conditions, such as:
A. Wind direction and/or velocity: including high gusts of wind.
Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods
between cycles).
B. Negative pressure differential resulting from sue of exhaust fans.
C. Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances
