1.2 HOW YOUR CO ALARM WORKS
GENERAL INFORMATION
CAUTION!
Leave your CO Alarm powered in year-round. CO problems can occur any time during the year, and this Alarm can only alert you if it is plugged in and receiving power. This CO Alarm is intended for use in a standard AC220V power supply. It is not intended for use in extension cords, power strips, or outlets controlled by a switch or dimmer.
These may not provide continuous power to the unit. When fully powered, it samples the air and takes a new reading about every second. A microchip inside the unit stores each reading, and remembers the levels of CO it has
been exposed to over time. The unit goes into alarm mode when it has been exposed to a “critical” level of CO
(measured in parts per million or “ppm”) within a specified time (measured in minutes). This Carbon Monoxide Alarm features a permanently installed sensor, three colored indicator lights, and an 85dB
alarm horn. It also has a Silence Feature to temporarily quiet the alarm horn.
