Anleitung Zusammenfassung


It will measure the concentration of CO between 1-999 PPM (parts per million) with a resolution of 1 PPM and factors in a small zero float. Typical battery life of this monitor is 500 hours when used with an alkaline battery. This device can be used by professional technicians and experts to detect CO build up in industrial and residential environments. It is able to detect CO in living areas, garage and around gas burner appliances. The detector will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon monoxide may be present in other areas. The detector indicates the presence of Carbon Monoxide in two ways: • By displaying a reading in PPM concentrations of carbon monoxide on the LCD (liquid crystal display). • By emitting an audible beep when carbon monoxide is present in excess of 40 PPM. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF CARBON MONOXIDE Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless gas that is formed as a result of incomplete combustion of carbon based fuels (wood, coal, gasoline, LP Gas, etc.). When fuel is burned Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O) will normally combine to form Carbon Dioxide (CO2). If there is insufficient oxygen, due perhaps to a restricted air flow, CO is formed. Internal combustion engines and propane gas fired appliances are typical sources of carbon monoxide. . WARNING Actuation of this device indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) which can be FATAL. WHEN MONITOR BEEPS: If anyone has a headache or an upset stomach call the Fire Department immediately and move to a location which has fresh air. DO A HEAD COUNT TO CHECK THAT ALL PERSONS ARE ACCOUNTED FOR. DO NOT RE-ENTER PREMISES UNTIL IT HAS BEEN AIRED OUT AND THE PROBLEM CORRECTED! If no one exhibits symptoms of discomfort associated with CO poisoning, simply: • Turn off appliances and other sources of combustion - furnace, water heater, range (wood, coal or kerosene burning) stove, heater or fireplace, RV, generator, automobile. • Call a qualified technician and have the problem fixed before restarting appliances, the vehicle, and other sources of combustion. • Immediately get fresh air into premises, RV or vehicle. EFFECTS ON HUMANS CO is absorbed by the lungs and reacts with blood hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb), which reduces the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. If the concentration of CO in air exceeds 2,000 ppm, which corresponds to 0.2%, it can be fatal in a matter of minutes. In smaller quantities carbon monoxide will cause a series of symptoms such as fatigue, headache, nausea, dizziness, collapse and eventually death. The progression and intensity of these symptoms depends on the time of exposure and the concentration of CO present in the environment. LITERATURE NUMBER MPD 38131 hydro flameTM SACO-2 Carbon Monoxide Detector MONITOR Owner’s Information Manual •Operation •Maintenance Effective 5/17/01 Many cases of reported CO poisoning indicate that while victims are aware they are not feeling well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also young children and household pets may be the first affected. LEARN AND RECOGNIZE THE EFFECTS OF CO POISONING. CONCENTRATION OF CO IN AIR INSTRUCTIONS 0-1 PPM Normal background levels. 9 PPM ASHRAE standard 62-1989 for living areas 50 PPM OSHA enclosed space 8 hour average level 100 PPM OSHA exposure limit 200 PPM Slight headaches, fatigue, dizziness and nausea after 2-3 hours. 400 PPM Frontal headaches within 1-2 hours, life threatening after 3 hours. 800 PPM Dizziness, nausea and convulsions within 45 minutes. Unconsciousness within 2 hours. Death within 2-3 hours. *PPM = parts per million U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation 1917.24: “The CO content in any enclosed space shall be maintained at not more than 50 PPM (0.005%). Remove employees from enclosed space if the CO concentration exceeds 100 PPM (0.01%).” The table above refers to healthy adults. Anyone with a health condition may find lower levels of CO more dangerous than shown in this chart. COMMON SOURCES OF CO Common sources of potential dangerous levels of CO are: • Poorly maintained furnaces, gas heaters or fireplaces. • Dirty or plugged chimneys or flue exhausts. • Poorly maintained gas, oil or kerosene appliances. • Internal combustion engines (e.g., automobiles, lawn mowers and blowers). APPLIANCE FUEL TYPICAL PROBLEMS Ranges Ovens Natural Gas LP Gas • Not enough air to burn fuel • Improperly adjusted burner • Misuse as a room heater • System not properly vented Water Heaters Natural Gas LP Gas • Not enough air to burn fuel • Improperly adjusted burner • Misuse as a room heater • Systems not properly vented or blocked vent Stoves Fireplaces Natural Gas LP Gas Wood Coal • Not enough air to burn fuel • Improperly adjusted burner • Cracked firebox • System not properly vented or blocked vent FEATURES • The detector indicates the presence of CO by a reading on the...
