WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CO
(CARBON MONOXIDE) AND YOUR CO ALARM
What is CO?
CO (carbon monoxide) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless
toxic gas produced when fuels do not burn completely, or are
exposed to heat (usually fire). Fuels may include: wood, coal,
charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene and propane.
Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not
properlymaintained, areimproperlyventilatedor malfunction,
CO levels can rise quickly. Electrical appliances typically do
not produce CO. CO may be a higher risk for homes that are
moreenergyefficient.“Air-tight” homeswithaddedinsulation,
sealed windows and other weatherproofing can prevent CO
from escaping from the home.
CO poisoning symptoms:
Symptoms related to CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING
should be discussed with ALL members of the household.
1. Mild Exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fa-
tigue (often described as Flu-like symptoms).
2. Medium Exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsi-
ness, confusion, fast heart rate.
3. Extreme Exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions,
heart and lung (cardiorespiratory) failure. Exposure to
Carbon Monoxide can cause brain damage and death.
NOTE: Many cases of reported CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING indicate that while victims are aware they
are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable
to save themselves by either exiting the building or calling
for assistance. Young children and household pets are
typically the first affected.
This Carbon Monoxide Alarm measures exposure to CO
over time. It alarms if CO levels are extremely high in a short
period of time, or if CO levels reach a certain minimum over
a long period of time. The Carbon Monoxide Alarm generally
sounds an alarm before the onset of symptoms in average,
healthy adults.

4 — English
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Why is this important? Because you need to be warned of a
potential CO problem while you can still react in time. Many
reported cases of CO exposure and CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING indicate victims may be aware that they are not
feeling well, but they become disoriented and they cannot
adequately respond by either exiting the building or getting
help by calling for assistance. Young children and pets may
be the first affected. The average healthy adult might not feel
any symptoms when the Carbon Monoxide Alarm sounds.
However, peoplewith cardiacorrespiratoryproblems,infants,
unborn babies, pregnant mothers or elderly people can be
more quickly and severely affected by CO.
WARNING:
If you experience even mild symptoms of CO poi-
soning, GO TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM and tell the
physician you suspect CO poisoning. If CO poisoning
has occurred, it can often be diagnosed by a blood
test done soon after exposure.
Finding the source of CO after an alarm:
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless toxic
gas, which often makes it difficult to locate the source of CO
after an alarm. Several factors can make it difficult to locate
sources of CO including:
 House or garage is well ventilated before the investigator
arrives.
 Problem caused by “backdrafting.”
 Transient CO problem caused by special circumstances.
BecauseCOmay dissipateby thetimeaninvestigatorarrives,
it may be difficult to locate the source of CO. One World
Technologies, Inc. shall not be obligated to pay for any
carbon monoxide investigation or service call.
Potential sources of CO in and around your home and
garage:
 Fuel burning appliances: Portable heater, gas or wood
burning fireplace or furnace, gas kitchen range, cooktop
or oven, gas clothes dryer, water heater, generator.
 Damaged or insufficient venting: Corroded or discon-
nected water heater vent pipe, leaking chimney pipe or
flue, or cracked heat exchanger, blocked or clogged
chimney opening.
 Improper use of appliance or device: Operating a bar-
becue grill or generator or vehicle in an enclosed area
(like a garage or screened porch).
Transient CO Problems:
Intermittent or on-again-off-again CO problems can be
caused by outdoor conditions and other special circum-
stances in and around your home.
Conditions which can result in transient CO situations:
 Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning ap-
pliances 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).
• Negative pressure differential resulting from the use
of exhaust fans.
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning ap-
pliances competing for limited internal air.
• Vent pipe connection vibrating loose from clothes
dryers, furnaces, or water heaters.
• Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs
which amplify the above situations.
 Extended operation of unvented fuel burning devices
(range, oven, fireplace, etc.).
 Temperature inversions which can trap exhaust gasses
near the ground.
 Car idling in an open or closed attached garage, or near
a home.
 Using any gasoline-powered engines (mowers, weed
trimmers, snow blowers, chain saws, or small engines)
in or near your garage.
 Using a generator inside a home or garage, even if your
garage door or other doors and windows are open. These
conditions are dangerous because they can trap Carbon
Monoxide in your home. Since these conditions can
come and go, they are challenging to recreate during a
CO investigation.
How can I protect my family from CO poisoning?
To help prevent CO problems and reduce the risk of CO
poisoning, ALWAYS properly maintain your home:
 Clean chimneys and flues yearly. Keep them free of
debris, leaves and nests for proper airflow. Also, have
a professional check for rust and corrosion, cracks, or
separations. These conditions can prevent proper air
movement and cause backdrafting. Never “cap” or cover
a chimney in any way that would block air flow.
 Test and maintain all fuel-burning equipment annually.
Many local gas or oil companies and HVAC companies
offer appliance inspections for a nominal fee.
 Make regular visual inspections of all fuel-burning appli-
ances. Check appliances for excessive rust and scaling.
Also check the flame on the burner and pilot lights. The
flame should be blue. A yellow flame means fuel is not
being burned completely and CO may be present. Keep
the blower door on the furnace closed. Use vents or fans
when they are available on all fuel-burning appliances.
Make sure appliances are vented to the outside.

5 — English
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 Do not grill or barbecue or burn charcoal indoors or in
your garage.
 Check for exhaust backflow from CO sources. Check the
draft hood on an operating furnace for a backdraft. Look
for cracks on furnace heat exchangers.
 Check the house or garage on the other side of shared
wall.
 Keep windows and doors open slightly. If you suspect
that CO is escaping into your home, open a window or
a door. Opening windows and doors can significantly
decrease CO levels.
 Do not idle the car in a garage -- even if the garage door
is open to the outside. Fumes can build up very quickly
in the garage and living area of your home.
 Do not use any gasoline-powered engines (mowers, weed
trimmers, snow blowers, chain saws, or small engines) in
your garage.
 Never use a generator inside a home or garage, even if
your garage door or other doors and windows are open.
Using a generator indoors can KILL YOU IN MINUTES.
WARNING:
READ and UNDERSTAND all enclosed materials. Read
this manual in its entirety, and make sure you understand
what to do if your Carbon Monoxide Alarm sounds.
What levels of CO cause an alarm?
 Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard UL 2034 requires
Carbon Monoxide Alarms to sound when exposed to
levels of CO and exposure times as described below.
They are measured in parts per million (ppm) of CO over
time (in minutes).
UL2034 Required Alarm Points*:
 If the alarm is exposed to 400 ppm of CO, IT MUST
ALARM BETWEEN 4 and 15 MINUTES.
 If the alarm is exposed to 150 ppm of CO, IT MUST
ALARM BETWEEN 10 and 50 MINUTES.
 If the alarm is exposed to 70 ppm of CO, IT MUST ALARM
BETWEEN 60 and 240 MINUTES.
* Approximately 10% COHb exposure at levels of 10% to
95% Relative Humidity (RH).
 This unit is designed not to alarm when exposed to a
constant level of 30 ppm for 30 days.This alarm has not
been investigated for carbon monoxide detection below
70 PPM.
WARNING:
Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm is designed to alarm before
there is an immediate life threat. Since you cannot see or
smell CO, never assume it is not present.
• An exposure to 100 ppm of CO for 20 minutes may
not affect average, healthy adults, but after 4 hours
the same level may cause headaches.
• An exposure to 400 ppm of CO may cause headaches
in average, healthy adults after 35 minutes, but can
cause death after 2 hours.
 Underwriters Laboratories Inc. Standard for Safety of
Single and Multiple Station carbon monoxide alarms, UL
2034.
 According to Underwriters Laboratories Inc. UL 2034,
Section 1-1.2: Carbon monoxide alarms covered by these
requirements are intended to respond to the presence of
carbon monoxide from sources such as, but not limited
to, exhaust from internal-combustion engines, abnormal
operation of fuel-fired appliances, and fireplaces. Carbon
monoxide alarms are intended to alarm at carbon mon-
oxide levels below those that could cause a loss of ability
to react to the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure.
CAUTION:
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon mon-
oxide gas at the sensor in your garage. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
 This Carbon Monoxide Alarm monitors the air at the sen-
sor and is designed to alarm before CO levels become
life threatening. This allows you valuable time to exit your
home and to correct the problem in your garage. This is
only possible if your Garage Carbon Monoxide Alarm is
installed and maintained as described in this manual.
 Gas Detection at Typical Temperature and Humidity
Ranges: Carbon Monoxide Alarms are not formulated
to detect CO levels below 30 ppm typically. UL tested
for false alarm resistance to Methane (500 ppm), Butane
(300 ppm), Heptane (500 ppm), Ethyl Acetate (200 ppm),
Isopropyl Alcohol (200 ppm) and Carbon Dioxide (5000
ppm). Values measure gas and vapor concentrations in
parts per million.
 Audible Alarm: 85 dB minimum at 10 feet (3 meters).
Potential limitations of Carbon Monoxide Alarms:
WARNING:
This Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not intended for use
inside your house or other family living areas. It is not
designed to measure CO levels in compliance with Oc-
cupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
commercial or industrial standards.

6 — English
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 This unit alone is not a suitable substitute for complete
fire detection systems in places housing many people—
like apartment buildings, condominiums, hotels, motels,
dormitories, hospitals, long-term health care facilities,
nursing homes, day care facilities, or group homes of
any kind – even if they were once single-family homes.
It is not a suitable substitute for complete fire detection
systems in warehouses, industrial facilities, commercial
buildings and special-purpose nonresidential buildings
which require special fire detection and alarm systems.
Depending on the building codes in your area, this unit
may be used to provide additional protection in these
facilities.
 This Carbon Monoxide Alarm may not waken all in-
dividuals because it will be installed in your garage.
This Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not also intended to alert
hearing impaired residents (Carbon Monoxide Alarms
are not yet available for the hearing impaired). Practice
the escape plan at least twice a year, making sure that
everyone is involved – from kids to grandparents. Allow
children to master fire escape planning and practice be-
fore holding a fire drill at night when they are sleeping. If
children or others do not readily waken to the sound of
the Carbon Monoxide Alarm in your garage, or if there
are infants or family members with mobility limitations,
make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in fire
drill and in the event of an emergency. It is recommended
that you hold a fire drill while family members are sleeping
in order to determine their response to the sound of the
Carbon Monoxide Alarm in your garage while sleeping
and to determine whether they may need assistance in
the event of an emergency.
 Carbon Monoxide Alarms cannot work without power.
This unit may not work if the AC power is cut off for any
reason (open fuse or circuit breaker, failure along a power
line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns the
electrical wires, etc.) and if the backup batteries are miss-
ing, disconnected or dead, if the wrong type of batteries
are used, or if the batteries are not installed correctly.
 Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm may not sense CO
on the interior of your home. When installed in your
garage, this alarm may not sense CO on the first floor or
the second floor inside your home. For this reason, we
recommend you install alarm devices (Combination CO
and Smoke Alarm, or separate Carbon Monoxide Alarms
and Smoke Alarms) inside your home in multiple locations.
CAUTION:
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon mon-
oxide gas at the sensor in your garage. Carbon monoxide
gas may be present in other areas.
 Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at which
CO reaches this sensor in your garage. If bedroom doors
are usually closed at night, we recommend you install
an alarm device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or
separate Carbon Monoxide Alarms and Smoke Alarms)
in each bedroom and in the hallway between them.
 Carbon Monoxide Alarms may not be heard. The alarm
horn loudness meets or exceeds current UL standards of
85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, since this Carbon
Monoxide Alarm is installed in your garage, it may not
wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently used
drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is
especially true if the bedroom doors are closed or only
partly open. Even persons who are awake may not hear
the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or
closed doors. Noise from traffic, stereo, radio, television,
air conditioner or other appliances may also prevent alert
persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Carbon Mon-
oxide Alarm is not intended for people who are hearing
impaired.
WARNING:
In the event of a fire, the Carbon Monoxide Alarm may
not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes
damage, injury or death, since carbon monoxide from
some fires may not reach the unit immediately. Ex-
amples of this include persons smoking in bed, children
playing with matches or fires caused by violent explo-
sions resulting from escaping gas.
 Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not a substitute for life
insurance. Though this Carbon Monoxide Alarm warns
against increasing CO levels, One World Technologies,
Inc. does not warrant or imply in any way that they will
protect lives. Homeowners and renters must still insure
their lives.
 Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm has a limited life. Al-
though this Carbon Monoxide Alarm and all of its parts
have passed many stringent tests and are designed to
be as reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at
any time. Therefore, you must test this device monthly. If
it is not operating properly, the alarm should be replaced
immediately. This Carbon Monoxide Alarm needs to be
replaced three (3) years after its date of manufacture.
 Your Carbon Monoxide Alarm is not foolproof. Like
all other electronic devices, this Carbon Monoxide Alarm
has limitations. It can only detect CO that reaches the
sensor in your garage. It may not give early warning if the
source of CO is on the interior of your home, away from
this alarm device in your garage.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Potential Limitations of High Temperature Alarm:
WARNING:
The High Temperature Alarm is not a life safety device and
is not designed to detect fire or smoke. If it does alarm,
to prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• EVACUATE garage. Move to fresh air.
• INSPECT for the source of heat.
• DO NOT open garage door if fire is present, unless you
must escape through it. Opening the garage door
will introduce fresh air and may cause fire to spread
rapidly.
• CALL 911 or the fire department.
This alarm may indicate if the temperature exceeds 140°F
(60°C) at the sensor location in your garage. The High Tem-
perature Alarm is not a substitute for a smoke alarm. It is not
intended to comply with UL standards for heat detectors or
the National Fire Alarm Code, NFPA 72, Chapter 11.
Wi-Fi communication information:
 When your Carbon Monoxide Alarm sounds, it will also
provide a warning on the smartphone app. This may
provide your family additional time to respond and an
earlier warning of potential danger.
 The communication distance (range) between your ga-
rage door opener and your Wi-Fi router may be 100 feet
(30 meters) inside your home. A number of factors in
and around your home may reduce this range including
the number of floors, number/size of rooms, furniture
and types of building materials used for construction.
Examples may include suspended ceilings, ductwork,
large metallic appliances (refrigerators) and metal studs.
Interference from these factors in your home can be
overcome by adding Wi-Fi signal boosters to extend the
range of the wireless signal from your router in your home.
NOTE:Therange andproperoperationofanywirelessdevice
will vary depending on factors in and around your home. It is
very important that your Carbon Monoxide Alarm is tested
after installation to make sure that the alarm responds prop-
erly, including with your garage door closed and with metal
doors opened and closed.
NOTE:Your garagedoor openerandCarbonMonoxideAlarm
may not transmit between buildings. If you have a detached
garage, your garage door opener and Carbon Monoxide
Alarm, may not communicate properly with your Wi-Fi router.
NOTE: Metal objects (e.g. wall studs) and metallic wallpaper
may interfere with the signal from your Carbon Monoxide
Alarm.You willneed totestyourCarbonMonoxide Alarmafter

CE QUE VOUS DEVEZ SAVOIR AU SUJET DU
MONOXYDE DE CARBONE (CO) ET VOTRE
DÉTECTEUR DE MONOXYDE DE CARBONE
Qu’est-ce que le monoxyde de carbone (CO)?
Le monoxyde de carbone (CO) est un gaz toxique incolore,
inodore et sans goût produit par la combustion incomplète
d’un carburant ou exposé à la chaleur (habituellement un
incendie).Lescarburants peuventinclure:le bois,lecharbon,
le charbon de bois, l’huile, le gaz naturel, l’essence, le
kérosène et le propane.
Les appareils usuels sont souvent source de monoxyde de
carbone. S’ils ne sont pas correctement entretenus, mal
ventilésoudéfectueux, lesniveauxde monoxyde decarbone
peuvent s’élever rapidement. Les appareils électriques ne
produisent généralement pas de monoxyde de carbone. Le
monoxyde de carbone représente un risque plus élevé pour
les maisons étant plus écoénergétiques. Les maisons ayant

4 — Français
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES
une qualité d’isolation supérieure, les fenêtres étanches
et autres produits à l’épreuve des intempéries empêchent
l’évacuation du monoxyde de carbone hors de la maison.
Symptômes d’empoisonnement au CO:
Les symptômes suivants sont des indices
d’EMPOISONNEMENT AU MONOXYDE DE CARBONE et
doivent être discutés avec TOUS les membres de la famille :
1. Exposition brève : Légers maux de tête, nausée,
vomissement, fatigue (souvent décrits comme étant les
symptômes d’une grippe).
2. Exposition de durée moyenne : Maux de tête avec
battements douloureux sévères, étourdissement,
confusion et fréquence cardiaque rapide.
3. Exposition extrême : Évanouissement, convulsions, arrêt
cardiocirculatoire, mortalité.
NOTE : Plusieurs cas d’EMPOISONNEMENT AU
MONOXYDE DE CARBONE signalés indiquent que les
victimes sont conscientes qu’elles ne se sentent pas
bien, qu’elles se sentent désorientées et incapables de
sortir du bâtiment ou d’appeler les secours. Les jeunes
enfants et les animaux domestiques sont habituellement
les premiers à ressentir les effets.
Ce détecteur de monoxyde de carbone mesure l’exposition
au CO dans le temps. Il envoit un signal si le niveau de CO
estextrêmementélevé pendantunecourte période detemps
ou si le niveau de CO a atteint un certain seuile pendant
une longue période de temps. Le détecteur de monoxyde
de carbone émet une alarme avant d’atteindre la moyenne
établie des symptômes pour les adultes en santé.
Pourquoi est-ce important? Parce que vous devez être
averti d’un problème potentiel lié au CO afin que vous
puissiez réagir à temps. Plusieurs cas d’exposition au CO
et d’EMPOISONNEMENT AU MONOXYDE DE CARBONE
signalés indiquent que les victimes savaient qu’elles ne se
sentaient pas bien, mais qu’elles ont été désorientées et
ne pouvaient réagir promptement à la sortie d’un édifice ou
d’obtenirdel’aideenappelantau secours.Lesjeunesenfantset
les animauxsont lespremiers àressentirles effets. Lamoyenne
des adultes en santé ne ressentent aucun symptôme lorsque
l’alarme du détecteurde monoxyde de carbone sedéclenche.
Cependant,les personnessouffrantdeproblèmescardiaques
ou respiratoires, les enfants, les enfants à naître, les femmes
enceintes et les personnes âgées sont plus rapidement et
sévèrement affectées par le monoxyde de carbone.
AVERTISSEMENT :
Si vous ressentez des symptômes légers causés
par l’empoisonnement au CO, RENDEZ-VOUS
IMMÉDIATEMENT DANS UNE SALLE D’URGENCE
et mentionnez au médecin que vous croyez avoir été
empoisonné au CO. L’empoisonnemennt au CO peut
être diagnostiqué par un test sanguin effectuée après
une exposition.
Trouvez la source d’émanation de CO après une alarme :
Lemonoxydede carboneest ungaztoxique incolore,inodore
et sans goût, ce qui rend difficle la recherche de la source
d’émanation de CO après le déclenchement d’une alarme.
Plusieurs facteurs peuvent nuire au repérage de la source
d’émanation du CO y compris :
 La maison ou le garage est bien aéré avant l’arrivée de
l’enquêteur.
 Problème causé par un refoulement.
 Problème de CO transitoire causé par des circonstances
particulières.
ParcequeCOpeuts’êtredissipéavantl’arrivée del’enquêteur,
il peut être difficile de repérer la source d’émanation du CO.
One World Technologies, Inc. n’est pas responsable
d’aucun frais d’inspection ou d’appel de service lié aux
inspections concernant le monoxyde de carbone.
Sources potentielles de CO dans et autour de la maison
et du garages :
 Appareils de chauffage au mazout : Les chaufferettes
portatives et les poêles à bois ou fournaises, les
cuisinières, surfaces de cuisson ou four, sécheuses,
chauffe-eaux et génératrices au gaz.
 Ventilation inadéquate ou insuffisante : Tuyau de
ventilation de chauffe-eau corrodé ou non raccordé, fuite
du tuyau ou conduit de cheminée, échangeur de chaleur
fissuré, embouchure de cheminée obstruée ou encrassée.
 Mauvaise utilisation d’un appareil ou dispositif :
L’utilisation d’un barbecue, d’une génératrice ou d’un
véhicule dans un endroit clos (comme un garage ou
porche avec moustiquaire).
Problèmes de CO transitoire :

Conditions pouvant conduire aux émanations de
monoxyde de carbone (CO)
 Renversement important ou aération inversée des
appareils brûlant des carburants causés par :
• Les conditions ambiantes de l’extérieur comme la
direction et/ou la vélocité des vents y compris les
rafales intenses; l’air lourd des tuyaux de ventilation
(air froid/humide et des périodes prolongées entre
les cycles).
• Pression différentielle négative causée par l’utilisation
de ventilateurs d’évacuation.
• Fonctionnement simultané de plusieurs appareils
brûlant du carburant s’efforçant d’obtenir chacun le
peu d’air à l’intérieur d’une pièce.
• Un raccord de conduit de ventilation lâche comme
ceux des sèche-linges, fournaises ou chauffe-eau.

5 — Français
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES
• Obstructions ou conceptions inhabituelles des
conduites de ventilation pouvant aggraver les
situations énumérées ci-dessus.
 Fonctionnement prolongé de dispositifs brûlant du
carburant et non ventilés (cuisinière, four, foyer, etc.).
 Inversions de température pouvant causer l’accumulation
des gaz d’échappement près du sol.
 Véhicule fonctionnant au ralenti dans un garage ouvert
ou fermé mitoyen ou près du domicile.
 L’utilisation de moteurs aliments par un carburant
quelconque (tondeurs, taille-bordures, souffleuses à
neige, scies à chaines ou petits moteurs) dans ou près
du garage.
 L’utilisation d’une génératrice à l’intérieur de la maison ou
du garage même si la porte du garage et d’autres portes
et fenêtres sont ouvertes. Ces conditions représentent
un risque parce que le monoxyde de carbone peut se
répandre dans la maison. Parce que ces conditions sont
aléatoires, elles représentent un défi de reproduction
pendant une enquête de repérage de source d’émanation
de CO.

 Faire ramoner les cheminées et conduits une fois l’an.
Éliminer les débris, feuilles et nids pour maintenir une
circulation d’air adéquate. De plus, faire inspecter la
présence de rouille, corrosion, fissures ou séparations
par un professionnel. Ces conditions peuvent nuire à la
circulation d’air et provoquer un refoulement. Ne jamais
mettre de couvercle ou obstruer la cheminée de manière
en empêcher la circulation d’air.
 Faire l’essai et l’entretien des équipements alimentés au
carburant une fois l’an. Plusieurs entreprises de gaz ou
d’huile et chauffage/climatisation offrent des inspections
d’appareil à un coût abordable.
 Faire une inspection visuelle de tous les appareils
alimentés au carburant. Rechercher les traces de rouille
ou d’entartrage excessives. Vérifier également la flamme
du brûleur et les flammes d’allumage. La flamme doit
être bleue. Une flamme jaune indique une combustion
inefficace et la présence de CO. Garder la porte du
souffleur de la fournaise fermée. Utiliser des évents ou
ventilateurs des appareils alimentés au carburant s’ils
sont présents. S’assurer que la ventilation des appareils
se fait vers l’extérieur.
 Ne pas utiliser de barbecue ou brûler du charbon de bois
à l’intérieur ou dans le garage.
 Vérifier si la source du CO ne provient pas du refoulement
de l’échappement. Vérifier si le refoulement ne provient
pas du coupe-tirage d’une fournaise en marche.
Recherles les fissures sur les échangeurs de chaleur de
la fournaise.
  Vérifier la maison ou le garage du côté du mur mitoyen.
  Garder les fenêtres et portes légèrement entrouvertes.
Ouvrir une fenêtre ou une porte lorsque l’on suspecte un
échappement de CO dans la maison. Ouvrir des fenêtres
et des portes peut diminuer de beaucoup le niveau de
CO.
 Ne pas faire rouler un véhicule au ralenti dans un garage,
même si la porte du garage est ouverte et donne à
l’extérieur. Les vapeurs peuvent s’accumuler rapidement
dans le garage et vers l’espace d’habitation de la maison.
 Ne pas utiliser de moteurs alimentés au carburant
(tondeuses, taille-bordures, souffleuses à neige, scies à
chaine ou petits moteurs) dans le garage.
  Ne jamais utiliser une génératrice à l’intérieur de la
maison ou du garage, même si la porte ou autres portes
et fenêtres sont ouvertes. L’utilisation d’une génératrice à
l’intérieur PEUT VOUS TUER EN QUELQUES MINUTES.
AVERTISSEMENT :
LIRE et COMPRENDRE toute la documentation fournie.
Lire au complet le manuel et s’assurer de comprendre
ce qu’il faut faire lors du déclenchement d’une alerte au
monoxyde de carbone.
Quelles sont les causes du déclenchement de l’alarme
de CO?
 La norme UL 2034 de la Underwriters Laboratories Inc
stipule que les détecteurs de monoxyde de carbone
doivent déclencher une alarme lorsque le niveau
d’exposition et de durée du CO est comme décrit ci-
dessous. Que la mesure du CO soit prise en partie par
million (ppm) sur une période (en minutes).
Contacts d’alarme requis par UL2034 :*
 Si le détecteur est exposé à 400 ppm de CO, L’ALARME
DOIT SE DÉCLENCHER ENTRE 4 ET 15 MINUTES.
 Si le détecteur est exposé à 150 ppm de CO, L’ALARME
DOIT SE DÉCLENCHER ENTRE 10 ET 50 MINUTES.
 Si le détecteur est exposé à 70 ppm de CO, L’ALARME
DOIT SE DÉCLENCHER ENTRE 60 ET 240 MINUTES.
* Exposition à environ 10 % COHb à des niveaux de 10
à 95 % d’humidité relative (HR).
 Cet appareil n’est pas conçu pour déclencher une alarme
lorsque le niveau d’exposition de 30 ppm est stable
pendant 30 jours. Ce détecteur n’a pas été mis à l’épreuve
pour la détection de monoxyde de carbone en deçà de
70 ppm.
