CARBON MONOXIDE
AND HOW IT CAN
AFFECTYOU ANDYOUR
FAMILY
Carbon monoxide is a dangerous, poisonous gas
that kills hundreds of people each year and injures
many more. It is often referred to as the silent
killer because it has no odour or taste and cannot
be seen. Like oxygen, CO enters the body through
the lungs during the normal breathing process. It
competes with oxygen by replacing it in the red
blood cells, thereby reducing the ow of oxygen
to the heart, brain and other vital organs. In high
concentrations, CO can kill in minutes.
Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING indicate that while victims are
aware they are not feeling well, they become
disorientated and unable to save themselves by
either exiting the building or calling for assistance.
Exposure during sleep is particularly dangerous
because the victim usually does not wake up.
Symptoms of CO poisoning
The following symptoms may be related to CO
poisoning which all household members should
be made aware of:
• MildExposure:Slightheadache,nausea,vomiting,
fatigue(oftendescribedas‘u-like’symptoms).
• MediumExposure:Severethrobbingheadache,
drowsiness,confusion,fastheartrate.
• ExtremeExposure:Unconsciousness,convulsions,
cardiorespiratoryfailure,death.
Your FireAngel CO detector monitors the level of
CO as parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere
of your property.
35ppm The maximum allowable concentration
for continuous exposure for healthy
adults in any 8 hour period, as
recommended by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA).

4
200ppm Slight headache, fatigue, dizziness,
nausea after 2 - 3 hours.
400ppm Frontal headaches within 1 - 2 hours,
life threatening after 3 hours.
800ppm Dizziness, nausea and convulsions
within 45 minutes. Unconsciousness
within 2 hours. Death within 2 - 3
hours.
Should you suspect CO may be affecting you or
your family, open the doors and windows of your
property to ventilate, turn off your appliances and
evacuate the premises. At this time the authorities
should be contacted to locate the source of the
carbon monoxide before re-entering the building.
Medical attention should be sought for anyone
suffering the effects of CO poisoning (headache,
nausea, see page 3).
Common Sources of CO
• Oilandgasboilers
• Portablegenerators
• Oilorsolidfuelcookers
• Gasorparafnheaters
• Barbecues
• Cloggedchimneys
• Woodorgasreplaces
• Cigarettesmoke
• Gasappliances
• Anyfossilfuelburningappliance
WARNING: This FireAngel carbon
monoxide detector is not a combustible
gas detector,nor a smoke detector.Please install
the proper detectors to detect combustible
gases, or smoke.
This CO detector should not be seen as a
substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-
burning appliances, nor the sweeping of
chimneys.

WARNING: Do not use this carbon
monoxide detector on an intermittent
basis, or as a portable detector for trying to
trace one source of the spillage of combustion
products from fuel-burning appliances or from
chimneys.

WHERE TO INSTALLYOUR
DETECTOR
WARNING: This detector will
only indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
In which room should the detector
be installed?
Ideally, an apparatus should be installed in every
roomcontainingafuelburningappliance.Additional
