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,
5
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 flow 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:
• Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue (often described as ‘flu-like’ symptoms).
• Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache,
drowsiness, confusion, fast heart rate.
• Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions,
cardiorespiratory failure, death.
Your 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).
6
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.
Common sources of CO
• Oil and gas boilers
• Portable generators
• Oil or solid fuel cookers
• Gas or paraffin heaters
• Barbecues
• Clogged chimneys
• Wood or gas fireplaces
• Cigarette smoke
• Gas appliances
• Any fossil fuel burning appliance

WARNING: This 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 installation, use and maintenance of fuel-
burning appliances (including appropriate ventilation
and exhaust systems), nor the sweeping of chimneys.
WARNING: Variables relating to your fuel burning
appliances can change at any point eg. the flue 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 fuel-burning appliances or from chimneys.
Do not:
• IGNORE ANY WARNING FROMYOUR CO DETECTOR!
• Burn charcoal inside your home, caravan, tent or
cabin.
• Install, convert or service fuel-burning appliances
without proper knowledge, skill and expertise.
• Use a gas cooker for heating a room.
• Operate unvented gas burning appliances using
paraffin or natural gas in closed rooms.
8
• Operate petrol-powered engines indoors or in confined
areas.
• Barbecue indoors, or in an attached garage.
• Ignore a safety device when it shuts an appliance off.
Always:
• Buy appliances accepted by a recognised testing
laboratory.
• Install appliances according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
• Have appliance installations carried out by
professionals (for gas appliances engineers should be
registered on the Gas Safe register).
• Have your appliances checked regularly by a qualified
service engineer.
• Have your chimneys and flues cleaned professionally
every year.
• Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning
appliances.
• Open windows when a fireplace or oil/solid fuel cooker
is in use.
• Only install CO detectors that meet the requirements
of EN 50291-1: 2010+A1:2012 and EN 50291-2: 2010 in
your home
• Be aware of CO poisoning symptoms.
• 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, motor caravans and boats.
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, motor caravans and boats.
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
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 to 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,
10
the following points should be considered when
deciding where best to put the apparatus:
• Locate the apparatus in a room containing a flueless or
open-flued 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. Alternatively, a remote alarm siren may be
connected to a type A apparatus located in a room(s)
containing a fuel-burning appliance.
Where in the room should I place the detector?
Apparatus located in the same room as a fuel-burning
appliance, for both wall and ceiling mounted apparatus
the following applies:
a. The apparatus should be at a horizontal distance of
between 1m and 3m from the potential source.
b. If there is a partition in a room, the apparatus should
be located on the same side of the partition as the
potential source.
c. Carbon monoxide detectors in rooms with sloped
ceilings should be located at the high side of the
room.
