Carbon Monoxide (CO) –“The Silent Killer”
A by-product of combustion, carbon monoxide is invisible, tasteless, odorless, and is produced by
all engines, heating and cooking appliances. The most common sources of CO on recreational
vehicles are gasoline engines, auxiliary generators and propane heating or cooking devices. All of
these produce large amounts of CO and should never be operated while occupants are sleeping.
A slight build-up of carbon monoxide in the human body over several hours causes headaches,
nausea and other symptoms similar to food poisoning, motion sickness or the flu. High
concentrations can be fatal within minutes. The following symptoms are related to CARBON
MONOXIDE POISONING and should be discussed with ALL passengers:
Mild exposure: Slight headache, nausea, vomiting and fatigue (often described as “Flu
like symptoms”).
Medium exposure: Severe throbbing headache, drowsiness, confusion, and fast heart
rate.
Extreme exposure: Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory failure, and death.
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 location or calling for assistance. Also, young children and pets may
be the first affected. SEE TABLE 1.
Information on conditions which can result in transient CO situations, such as:
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).
Negative pressure differential resulting from the use of exhaust fans.
Simultaneous operation of several fuel burning appliances competing for limited
internal air.
Vent pipe connections vibrating loose from clothes dryers, furnaces or water
heaters.
Obstructions in or unconventional vent pipe designs which can amplify the above
situations.
Poorly designed or maintained chimney and/or vents.
Extended operation of un-vented fuel burning devices (range, oven, etc.).
Temperature inversions that can trap exhaust gases near the ground.
Vehicles idling in an open or closed attached garage or nearby.

Drug or alcohol use increases the effect of CO exposure. Individuals with cardiac or respiratory
conditions are very susceptible to the dangers of carbon monoxide. CO poisoning is especially
dangerous during sleep when victims are unaware of any side effects. The following are
symptoms that may signal exposure to CO:
• Headache • Drowsiness
• Tightness of chest or hyperventilation • Fatigue or Weakness
• Flushed face • Inattention or Confusion
• Nausea • Lack of normal coordination
Persons who have been exposed to carbon monoxide should be moved into fresh air immediately.
Persons who have been subjected to high concentrations of CO should be placed in the care of a
physician. To learn more about CO poisoning, contact your local health authorities.
Where Must We Guard Against Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon monoxide is a by-product of combustion. CO exists wherever fuels are burned to generate
power or heat. Recreational vehicles may utilize propane or compressed gas for cooking and/or
heating. Recreational vehicles have the added hazard of an auxiliary power generator where
exhaust fumes may drift into the vehicle. This hazard may also be created by a neighboring
vehicle’s exhaust fumes circulating into the cabin. The “station wagon effect”, is another hazard
that is caused by exhaust fumes that are captured via a rear opening while underway.
Recreational Vehicle Hazards
Recreational vehicles that are underway should close all rear windows and open a front window,
which may lend to pressurize the living spaces within the recreational vehicle. No sleeping,
particularly in rear compartments, should be permitted while underway. Occupants of the
“cockpit” should also maintain proper ventilation by opening a front window to drive “station
wagon” effect fumes away from the occupants. Extreme caution must be taken while parked with
an auxiliary power generator operating. Wind still nights can easily allow fumes to enter the
vehicle. Inspect the exhaust systems of propulsion and auxiliary generators frequently for
possible leaks. High concentrations of CO in your recreational vehicle may originate from an
adjacent vehicle. Exhaust fumes from nearby vehicles may enter your recreational vehicle
through open windows.

General Information Continued
Features of the CMD5-RB, CMD5-RD, CMD5-RB-B & CMD5-RD-B
The CO Alarm is designed to meet applicable RV standards. The CO Alarm is tested by ETL to meet
UL 2034 RV requirements.
The CO Alarm conducts a self-diagnosis of critical components every 180 seconds. Should a major
component fail, the CO Alarm will enter a fault mode. Both audible and visual warning indicators
are activated.
The CO Alarm circuit board is sealed against moisture and corrosion to withstand the harshest
environments and ensure durability.
Features of the CMD5-RBI, CMD5-RDI, CMD5-RBI & CMD5-RDI
The CMD5-RBI, CMD5-RDI, CMD5-RBI & CMD5-RDI are designed to interconnect with other
CMD5-RBI, CMD5-RDI, CMD5-RBI & CMD5-RDI. If the unit senses CO at an alarm level, it will
communicate with other interconnected units and send them into alarm. The unit that senses CO
will have a distinct LED pattern compared to the interconnected units. The CMD5-RBI, CMD5-RDI,
CMD5-RBI & CMD5-RDI are designed to connect to a maximum of ten interconnected units.
Limitations
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon monoxide gas from ANY
source of combustion. It is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas.
The CO Alarm will not detect carbon monoxide that is not in the vicinity of the alarm.
Carbon monoxide in other rooms or areas will not be detected. Alarms mounted near
obstructions or in ‘dead’ air spaces will not detect carbon monoxide.
The CO Alarm does not guarantee or imply that CO poisoning will not occur. Do NOT
use the CO Alarm as a replacement for ordinary precautions or periodic inspections of
equipment. NEVER rely on alarm systems to save your life, common sense is still
prudent and necessary.
The audible horn on the CO Alarm meets UL STD 2034 RV requirements; however, the
horn may not be heard in remote areas.
The nature of an alarm system is to produce an irritating and loud noise. The audible
signal of the CO Alarm may shock or startle persons near the alarm. Hearing damage
can occur if prolonged exposure to the audible alarm is allowed.
All electric devices have limited life spans and may fail without warning. Inspect the CO
Alarm on a periodic basis. Do NOT assume that the CO Alarm will prevent CO poisoning.
It is a supplement-warning device only.

Part Number 18150, E, 02/07/2018
Operation of Xintex Carbon Monoxide Alarm(s)
The CO Alarm uses a microprocessor to measure and accumulate CO levels. Using the principle of
“time-weighted averaging” (TWA), the CO Alarm monitors CO concentrations, temperature, and
time to calculate levels of carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). COHb is the degree to which the oxygen
carrying capacity of the blood is impeded by the union of carbon monoxide to the hemoglobin and
is expressed as a percentage. In layman’s terms, our bodies prefer absorbing CO to oxygen and
COHb is the ratio of absorbed carbon monoxide to oxygen in the bloodstream. The CO Alarm
calculates this COHb level as a function of time and determines the appropriate alarm time. SEE
TABLE 2.
Should a very high level of carbon monoxide exist, the CO Alarm will alarm in a few minutes.
However, if small quantities of CO are present or high levels are short-lived, the micro controller
will accumulate the information and determine when an alarm level has been reached. This
feature eliminates nuisance alarms. For example, in a recreational vehicle it is possible to see high
levels of CO for a very short time such as when parking or maneuvering. The CO Alarm takes this
all under consideration by totaling the quantity of CO detected over a period of time.
The CO Alarm is programmed to alarm at a COHb level of 10%. SEE TABLE 2.

NOTE:
DURING EOL RESET THE UNIT WILL GO THROUGH A SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCESS FOLLOWED BY
THE TEST SEQUENCE.
Locating a Xintex Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Because of the high risk of carbon monoxide injuries due to the nature of recreational vehicles, we
recommend a carbon monoxide alarm be installed in the main accommodation area and in each
sleeping area of the recreational vehicle. Small recreational vehicles with an open design may
only require one CO Alarm for adequate protection. If any two sleeping areas are partitioned,
then one CO Alarm should be installed in each sleeping area installation should be at eye level
height for convenient monitoring and service. Ordinary thermostat height is adequate. Ceiling
installation is also allowed.
DO NOT install a CO Alarm near a door or window through which water could be sprayed or
spilled on the device.
DO NOT install in locations where temperature, moisture, and/or ultraviolet light affect the
operation.
DO NOT install in locations where the normal ambient temperature is below -40oC (-40oF) or
exceeds 70oC (158oF)
DO NOT mount within one foot of corners or other ‘dead’ air spaces.
DO NOT locate CO Alarm within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance or in direct airflow from
air conditioning or heat vents.
DO NOT locate CO Alarm in close vicinity of curtains, pillows, or other obstructions.

flash once every 5 seconds on the CO Alarm used to test. The Red and Green LED will
flash once every 5 seconds on the interconnected CO Alarms. All interconnected CO
Alarms will alarm within 1 minute.
Maintenance
Spaces are to be well ventilated when household cleaning supplies or similar contaminants are
used. Avoid spraying liquids directly on alarm.
In the Event of an Alarm
1. Operate reset/silence button
2. Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).
3. Immediately move to fresh air –outdoors or by an open door/window. Check that all
persons are present. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open
door/window until emergency services responders have arrived, the premises have
been aired out and alarm remains in its normal condition.
4. After following steps 1-3, if your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps
1-3 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate for sources of CO from fuel
burning equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of the equipment.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the equipment serviced
immediately. Note any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and
consult the manufactures' instructions, or contact the manufacturers directly, for more
information about CO safety and their equipment.
Nuisance Alarms
Although the CO Alarm will detect only carbon monoxide in a normal environment, studies have
found that unusually high concentrations of chemicals and/or vapors may affect the sensor.
Many of these chemicals are the result of out-gassing in new recreational vehicles. While these
chemicals may cause nuisance alarms, levels high enough to create an alarm condition are also
hazardous. Treat these “nuisance” alarms as an actual carbon monoxide alarm condition.
Evacuate and ventilate the area. Before, during, and immediately after working with any
chemicals, make sure enough fresh air ventilation is available.
