CARBON MONOXIDE
AND HOW IT CAN
AFFECT YOU AND
YOUR FAMILY
Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that
kills hundreds of people each year and
injures many more. It is often referred to
as the silent killer, 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.
SymptomsofCOpoisoning
The following symptoms may be related to
CO poisoning which all household members
should be made aware of:
• Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea,
vomiting, fatigue (often described as ‘u-
like’ symptoms)
• Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing
headache, drowsiness, confusion, fast
heart rate
• Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness,
convulsions, cardiorespiratory failure,
death
Your FireAngel CO detector monitors the
level of CO as parts per million (ppm) in the
atmosphere surrounding the detector.
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).
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 aecting you
or your family, open the doors and windows
of your property to ventilate, turn o 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 suering the eects of CO poisoning
(headache, nausea, see page 3).

WARNING: Variables relating to your
fuel burning appliances can change
at any point eg. the ue or chimney could
suddenly become blocked or damaged,
appliances may stop running correctly or
circumstances in neighbouring properties
may change resulting in the presence of
carbon monoxide. For this and other reasons
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
fuelburning appliances or from chimneys.

EDUCATE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY
ON THE SOURCES AND SYMPTOMS OF
CO POISONING AND HOW TO USE YOUR
CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR
WHERE TO INSTALL
YOUR DETECTOR
This CO alarm is suitable for use in domestic
premises, (caravan holiday homes) caravans
and motor caravans.
The following advice is applicable to all
intended applications, there are special
instructions at the end of this section relating
to positioning in caravan holiday homes,
caravans and motor caravans.
WARNING: This detector will only
indicate the presence of carbon
monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon
monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Inwhichroomshouldthedetectorbe
installed?
Ideally, an apparatus should be installed
in every room containing a fuel burning
appliance. Additional apparatus may be
installed to ensure that adequate warning
is given for occupants in other rooms, by
locating apparatus in:
• Remote rooms in which the occupant(s)
spend considerable time whilst awake and
from which they may not be able hear an
alarm from apparatus in another part of
the premises, and
• Every sleeping room
However, if there is a fuel burning appliance
in more than one room and the number of
apparatus is limited, the following points
should be considered when deciding where
best to put the apparatus:
• Locate the apparatus in a room containing
a ueless or open-ued appliance, and
• Locate apparatus in a room where the
occupant(s) spend most time
• If the domestic premises is a bedsit (a
single room serving as both sitting and
bedroom) then the apparatus should be
put as far from the cooking appliances
as possible but near to where the person
sleeps
• If the appliance is in a room not normally
used (for example a boiler room), the
apparatus should be put just outside the
room so that the alarm may be heard
more easily.

a For both wall and ceiling mounted
apparatus the following applies:
• The apparatus should be at a horizontal
distance of between 1m and 3m from
the potential source
• If there is a partition in a room, the
apparatus should be located on the
same side of the partition as the
potential source
• Carbon Monoxide detectors in rooms
with sloped ceilings should be located at
the high side of the room
b In addition to the previous points the
following must be observed:
If the apparatus is located on a wall:
• it should be located close to the ceiling;
• it should be located at a height greater
than the height of any door or window;
• it should be at least 150mm from the
ceiling.
If the apparatus is located on the ceiling:
• it should be at least 300mm from any
wall and any ceiling obstruction e.g.
light ttings.
Apparatus located in sleeping rooms and in
rooms remote from a fuel burning appliance:
• Apparatus located in sleeping rooms or
located in rooms remote from the fuel-
burning appliance should be located
relatively close to the breathing zone of
the occupants
Wherenottoputthedetector
The apparatus should not be installed:
• In an enclosed space (for example in a
cupboard or behind a curtain)
• Where it can be obstructed (for example
by furniture)
• Directly above a sink
• Next to a door or window
• Next to an extractor fan
• Next to an air vent or other similar
ventilation openings
• In an area where the temperature may
drop below -10°C or exceed 40°C
• Where dirt and dust may block the sensor
• In a damp or humid location (for example
in a bathroom)
• Less than 1m/3 feet from any appliance
• Within 1m (3 feet) of mobile phones
Caravans
Caravans may have additional risks of carbon
monoxide ingress through air vents due
to the nearby presence of other vehicles,
engines, generators or barbecues, however
this does not change the basic guidance
on location of the alarm. Caravans should
be tted with an alarm in the same room
as any combustion appliance(s), located
in accordance with previous advice in this
section. If the caravan has a single living
space which incorporates the sleeping
accommodation, it can be considered to
be equivalent to a bedsit, and a single
alarm is sucient. However, any sleeping
accommodation which is in a separate room

HOW TO INSTALL
YOUR DETECTOR
NOTE: This apparatus should be installed
by a competent person who feels able to
install it according to the instructions.
Firstly write the installation date on
your detector in the area provided. We
recommend that your detector is installed on
the wall.
Tomountonawallorceiling:
Please ensure that you use the screws
provided, as they were chosen specically for
use with this product. Use template below
for guidance on marking hole positions. Drill
holes into the wall. Insert the plastic wall
plugs. Screw in the screws. Ensure screws are
protruding from the wall by 3mm to allow
detector to slot onto screws.
Toplaceonashelf:
The base of the detector has been designed
to allow it to stand freely on a shelf.
WARNING: When placing on a shelf,
please follow the recommendations for
positioning as described on page 5 & 6.
90mm
Drill hole spacing
from the combustion appliance(s) should
also contain an alarm, located in accordance
with previous advice in this section.
It is not always possible to nd an optimum
location for an apparatus, for example, a
small caravan may not have suitable vertical
surfaces available. Nevertheless, when
tting an apparatus in such situations, the
two most important considerations when
selecting an appropriate location are:
• Not mounting the apparatus directly
above a source of heat or steam; and
• Mounting the apparatus at a distance
of 1 – 3 m from the nearest edge of the
potential source.

sound as soon as the button is pressed,
and the Alarm LED will illuminate red for
a short time indicating that the sounder
is working and the batteries are providing
power to the unit. This test for the
sounder, batteries and circuitry should be
performed weekly.
WARNING: Prolonged exposure to the
sounder in close proximity to your ears
may damage your hearing.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
/ REPLACEMENT
a If the detector is already wall or ceiling
mounted then unhook it from the
mounting screws.
b Remove the battery cover located on the
back of the detector.
c Replace the batteries with 2 x approved
1.5 volt AA size alkaline batteries (see page
16 for recommended batteries), making
sure the batteries are the correct way
round. Use of batteries other than those
recommended by Sprue Safety Products
Ltd may have a detrimental eect on the
detector’s operation. Replace the battery
cover and return the detector to its
original position.
d Your advanced FireAngel detector
requires a short ‘warm-up’ period before it
is fully operational.
If you have followed all of the above steps
correctly, your unit will begin monitoring
for CO in around 3 minutes. When the
3 minute warm-up period is complete,
the Power LED will ash green once
per minute to indicate that the alarm is
receiving power from the batteries and is
fully operational (if your detector chirps or
enters alarm following the 3 minute
warm-up period then please refer to page
12).
