  • Page 6: Information About Carbon Monoxide

    4. INFORMATION ABOUT CARBON MONOXIDE WHAT IS CARBON MONOXIDE? Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly toxic, invisible, odorless, tasteless gas. HOW IS CO GENERATED? Carbon monoxide is generated through incomplete combustion of fuel in various appliances. Faulty ventilation of furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces, wood burning stoves, and space heaters are the major cause of high CO levels in a building.

  • Page 7: Recommended Location Of Alarms

    RECOMMENDED LOCATION OF ALARMS The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) recommends the use of "at least one CO alarm per household located outside each sleeping area." (See diagrams "A" and “B”). CO poisoning can happen anywhere in the dwelling, but because most CO poisoning cases occur while people are sleeping, the best location for the CO alarm is near the sleeping area.

  • Page 8: Locations To Avoid

    6. LOCATIONS TO AVOID NEAR THE COOKING AREA: Do not install the alarm within five feet of cooking appliances. CO may be generated in the cooking process and cause nuisance alarms. Also, cooking grease can build up on the alarm and cause alarm failure. WITHIN FIVE FEET OF A FURNACE, WATER HEATER, OR SPACE HEATER: These devices often spill out small amounts of CO when they first turn on.
  • Page 9 If the activation switch is not set to ON position, as in diagram (D), the mounting hole at top of alarm will be blocked, and the CO alarm will not be activated. The models CA6100 and CA6150 are a sealed lithium battery powered wall mounted alarm. Two lithium battery cells are permanently sealed with soldered connections, and cannot be removed.

  • Page 10: Functions And Operation

    8. FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION OPERATION: The CO alarm is operational once the activation switch is slid to ON position. The green LED will flash once every 60 seconds. The model CA6150 LCD will also continuously display to indicate that the CO alarm’s power is active. LOW BATTERY CONDITION: When the battery voltage drops below an acceptable level, the alarm will chirp once per minute and the green LED will blink 5 seconds every...
  • Page 11 DISPLAY CO LEVEL BUTTON (FOR MODEL CA6150): To manually display the current and highest CO level detected, press the button once. The DISPLAY CO LEVEL LCD will display the recorded data in the following order: 1. The current CO level detected, and 2.

  • Page 12: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds

    30 days, the alarm will return to its normal “End-of-Life” condition; 1 chirp per minute, red LED glows for 5 seconds at the same time, and model CA6150 SERVICE continuously displays “End”. To test the alarm during an “End-of-Life” condition, press and hold TEST/RESET/MUTE button for minimum 2 seconds when audible signal is not sounding.

  • Page 13: Limitations Of Carbon Monoxide Alarms

    Conditions which can result in transient CO situations: 1) Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor ambient conditions, such as: Wind direction and/or velocity, including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). ii) Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.

  • Page 14: Good Safety Habits

    12. GOOD SAFETY HABITS DEVELOP AND PRACTICE A PLAN OF ESCAPE: Make a floor plan indicating all doors and windows and at least two escape routes from each room. Second story windows may need a rope or chain ladder. Have a meeting with everyone to discuss your escape plan, and show everyone what to do in case an alarm sounds.
