Carbon Monoxide and How It Can Affect You and Your 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, CO enters the body through the lungs during the normal breathing process. - Page 6 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). 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.

Page 19: Testing The Sensor
Testing The Sensor If testing the sensor for the first time after installation, or replacing a battery, make sure that the alarm has completed the 3 minute warm up period and the LED is flashing green once every minute, as carrying out a sensor test before this could give false readings. CAUTION: All sensor testing should only be performed by a responsible adult. - Page 20 Step 4: Turn the alarm on its side so that the vents nearest the Test/Reset button on the side of the alarm are pointing downwards (see diagram opposite). Hold the burning cigarette or incense stick 15-20cm (6-8 inches) below the detector, so that the smoke moves towards the holes in the sides of the detector.The display will indicate the amount of CO in the smoke (it may take up to 2 minutes for a reading to be shown).
- Page 21 High Level Icon The time it takes for your FireAngel CO detector to alarm is directly related to the concentration of CO that it detects.Your FireAngel CO alarm will respond more quickly the higher the concentration of CO. If a high level of CO (above 50ppm) has been detected for a specified period of time, the LED will flash red once every 2 seconds, the high level alarm icon will appear, and a loud (min 85dB at 1 metre) alarm will sound.The unit will...
- Page 22 When the level of CO that has been detected is less than 50ppm it is possible to silence the alarm by pressing the Test/Reset button on the front of the detector. (If the detector has gone into alarm due to levels higher than 50ppm you will not be able to silence the alarm.
