IF IN DOUBT CONSULT A MEDICAL PRACTITIONER. 9. HOW TO PROTECT YOUR FAMILY Follow these guidelines to reduce the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning. (1) Know and look out for tell-tale signs that Carbon Monoxide may be present. These include: - The CO Alarm warning of abnormal levels. - Staining, sooting or discolouration on or around appliances. - A pilot light frequently going out. - A strange smell when an appliance is working. - A naked gas flame which is yellow or orange, instead of the normal blue. - Family members (including pets) exhibiting the “flu-like” symptoms of CO poisoning described above. 24 B15583/R0/8/6/06 1:54 PM Page 25 If any of these signs out by an expert before further use. If family members are (2) Choose all appliances and which burn fossil fuels such as coal, natural/bottled gas, paraffin, wood, petrol, diesel, charcoal with care and have them professionally installed and regularly maintained. (3) These appliances must “breathe in” air to burn the fuel properly. Know where the air comes from and ensure vents/air bricks etc. remain unobstructed (particularly after building work). (4) The appliances must also “breathe out” the waste gases (including the CO) – usually through a flue or chimney. Ensure chimneys and flues are not blocked or leaking, and get them checked every year. Check for excessive rust or cracks on appliances and pipe work. (5) Never leave your car, motor bike or lawnmower engine running in the garage with the garage door closed. Never leave the door from the house to the garage open if the car is running. (6) Never adjust your own gas pilot lights. (7) Never use a gas cooker or a barbecue for home heating. (8) Children should be warned of the dangers of CO poisoning and instructed never to touch, or interfere with the CO Alarm. Do not allow small children to press the test/hush button as they could be subjected to excessive noise when the unit alarms. 25 B15583/R0/8/6/06 1:54 PM Page 26 (9) Leaving windows or doors slightly a few inches) will significantly the risk of high levels of CO occurring. The high levels of draught-proofing in modern houses reduces ventilation and can allow dangerous gases to up. (10) Install CO Alarms in all the areas recommended (11) Recognise that CO poisoning be the cause when family members suffer from “flu-like” symptoms when at home but feel better when they are away for extended periods. 10. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Power : Three Alkaline AA type batteries (supplied) CO Sensitivity : Meets BS EN 50291: 2001. Unit operates as per Table B (on page 8). Electromagnetic Compatibility : Complies with BS EN 50270 Test/Hush Button : Checks electronics and horn. When the unit is alarming, after sensing CO, pressing the test/hush button will immediately stop the horn (the red light will continue to flash). If CO is still present the red light and the horn will turn on again after about 4 minutes. The unit can only be silenced once during a CO incident. At 300 ppm CO the unit cannot be silenced. (With interconnected units, the hush only works on the alarm sensing CO). 26 B15583/R0/8/6/06 1:54 PM Page 27 Testing with CO : The red light flashes Table B) within 10 seconds unit detecting CO. Initialisation Time : 70 seconds. On power up red and amber lights momentarily to show they are operational. Operating Temperature : -10°C to 40°C Humidity Range : 15% to 95% R.H. (non-condensing) Audible Alarm Self Diagnostics : : 85dB(A) at 3m minimum Horn beep and amber fault light flashes every 40 seconds if a sensor fault is found. Tamperproof : Locking Rivet(s) supplied. Interconnect : Up to 12, Ei205CEN Alarms can be interconnected, so (Ei205CEN only) that when one senses CO, all alarm. CO Alarm Memory: : A unit will indicate if it has been in alarm previously by (Ei205EN flashing the red light for 2 seconds every 40 seconds & Ei205CEN only) (2 flashes for 50 ppm CO, 4 flashes for 100 ppm CO and 8 flashes, for 300 ppm CO). When the test button is pressed the red light flashes as per table B and also indicates the previous CO alarm level detected. The memory is cleared by holding down the test button until the red light stops flashing. 27 B15583/R0/8/6/06 1:54 PM Page 28 End of Life Indication: Amber light flashes 45 seconds after to show the unit must be replaced. Dimensions : 135 x 105 x 71 mm. Weight : 260g. 11. GETTING THE CO ALARM SERVICED If your CO Alarm fails to work after you have carefully read all the instructions, checked the unit has been installed correctly, and ensured that it has good batteries connected (‘pull’ tag should be removed), return it for repair or replacement. This should be where it was purchased, or alternatively return it in a padded box to “Customer Assistance and Information” at the nearest address given on the CO Alarm or in this leaflet. (If the unit is beeping then remove the battery if replaceable or cut the end of life wire on the Ei205A shown in figure 5b - page 16). State the nature of the fault, where the CO Alarm w...
